Clay Grinding Plant in Bangladesh
Clay grinding plant case in Bangladesh. HGM ultrafine mill producing 325 mesh clay powder for ceramic, cement and construction. Equipment and production data.
This case study presents a detailed account of a real-world grinding mill installation project by LIMING, including project background, equipment selection rationale, installation process, commissioning results, and ongoing operational performance. The information is based on actual project data and customer feedback, providing valuable reference for similar projects.
Project Background
A ceramic and construction materials company in Dhaka, Bangladesh, required a clay grinding facility to produce 325 mesh powder for ceramic body and cement additive applications. Local clay had 12% moisture and required drying before grinding.
Equipment and Process
The line included a rotary dryer (reducing moisture from 12% to 2%), HGM80 ultrafine grinding mill, cyclone collector, and pulse bag filter. The dryer used agricultural waste briquettes as fuel, reducing operating costs and carbon footprint.
Results
The HGM80 produced 5 t/h at 325 mesh clay powder. For ceramic body, the powder provided uniform particle distribution for consistent shrinkage and glaze adhesion. For cement additive, the fine clay improved workability and reduced water demand. The agricultural waste fuel system reduced drying costs by 60% compared to natural gas.
Project Insights & Lessons Learned
