Marble Grinding Plant in Greece
Marble waste grinding plant case in Greece. HGM ultrafine mill processing marble waste into 800-2500 mesh powder for paint and filler. Circular economy project.
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.
Circular Economy Project
A marble quarrying company in Thessaly, Greece, generated 40% waste fines during block extraction. This project converted marble waste into value-added GCC-equivalent powder for paint, filler, and construction applications, turning waste disposal costs into revenue.
Plant Configuration
The marble waste (already 0-10mm) was directly fed to a bucket elevator and storage hopper, bypassing primary crushing. An HGM100L ultrafine mill ground the marble to 800-2500 mesh. A two-grade collection system separated 800 mesh and 1250 mesh powder into different silos for market segmentation.
Economic Results
The plant processes 8 t/h of marble waste into premium powder. Whiteness exceeds 95% due to the high-quality Greek marble. The revenue from powder sales exceeded the waste disposal costs previously incurred, achieving payback in 14 months. The project was recognized by the Hellenic Ministry of Environment as a model circular economy initiative.
