Fluorite Grinding Line in Mexico

Fluorite Grinding Line in Mexico

Fluorite grinding production line case in Mexico. HGM ultrafine mill producing 200-1250 mesh fluorite powder for metallurgical, ceramic and chemical applications.

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 Description

A fluorite processor in Coahuila, Mexico, required a grinding line to produce 200 mesh metallurgical-grade and 1250 mesh ceramic-grade fluorspar powder from run-of-mine ore.

Two-Grade System

The line was configured with a primary HGM80 mill set at 200 mesh for metallurgical flux (3-5 t/h) and a secondary HGM100L set at 1250 mesh for ceramic body (2-3 t/h). A heavy media separation plant upstream removed quartz and calcite gangue to achieve 97% CaF2 grade before grinding.

Results

Metallurgical fluorspar at 200 mesh met steel industry specifications with 85% CaF2 minimum. Ceramic-grade fluorspar at 1250 mesh was used in opalescent glass and enamel production. The dual-grade approach maximized revenue by serving both high-volume metallurgical and high-value ceramic markets from a single facility.
