Talc Powder Production Line in Pakistan
Talc powder production line case study in Pakistan. HGM ultrafine mill producing 1250 mesh talc powder for cosmetic and paint industries. Complete line configuration and results.
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
Pakistan has some of the world's highest quality talc deposits. A mineral processor in Peshawar needed a production line to upgrade their talc powder from 325 mesh to 1250 mesh for cosmetic export markets. The talc ore had exceptional whiteness (97%) and purity.
Line Configuration
The complete talc line included: hammer crusher, bucket elevator, storage hopper, HGM100L ultrafine grinding mill, cyclone collector, pulse bag filter, and two-stage packaging (valve bag for bulk, small bag for retail). A sterile zone with HEPA filtration was added for cosmetic-grade packaging.
Commissioning Results
The HGM100L achieved 4 t/h at 1250 mesh with consistent whiteness retention. The gentle grinding action of the roller-ring design preserved the platelet structure of talc, which is critical for cosmetic slip and feel. The client's export volume to European cosmetic manufacturers doubled within 8 months of commissioning.
Project Insights & Lessons Learned
