Clay bentonite is also known as montmorillonite. It is a clay rock mainly composed of montmorillonite minerals or with montmorillonite minerals reaching a usable content. Bentonite has very wide applications in industry. The main processed products include activated bentonite, granular activated bentonite, organic bentonite, and nano bentonite. The processing fineness of the bentonite powder production equipment can be adjusted arbitrarily within the range of 300 mesh to 3250 mesh. Shanghai Kelierek Machinery Co., Ltd. has been dedicated to mining grinding equipment for ten years. Our company’s newly launched large-scale bentonite powder production equipment embodies the production route of “large-scale equipment, green production”.
The bentonite powder production equipment can process ultra-fine powders of medium and low hardness materials (with Mohs hardness ≤ 6) that are non-flammable and non-explosive and are brittle in nature, such as calcite, chalk, limestone, dolomite, carbon black, kaolin, bentonite, talc, azurite, magnesite, illite, pyrophyllite, vermiculite, sepiolite, attapulgite, montmorillonite, celestite, celestite, barite, gypsum, alunite, graphite, fluorite, phosphate ore, potassium ore, pumice, etc., a total of over 100 types of materials. The complete set of equipment for the bentonite powder production includes hammer crushers, bucket elevators, storage bins, vibrating feeders, micro powder grinding machines, variable frequency classifiers, double-rotor cyclone powder collectors, pulse dust removal systems, high-pressure fans, air compressors, and electrical control systems.
From a comprehensive perspective, as a new type of wall material that is waterproof, leak-proof, impermeable and harmless, the extensive application of bentonite will become a trend. What is particularly important is that non-metallic minerals will play a leading role in the application of new materials. With organic bentonite and nano-bentonite gaining market recognition, the application of bentonite is expanding. At the same time, the market demand for bentonite powder production equipment is also steadily increasing. Shanghai Kelierek Machinery Co., Ltd. meets the market demand by scientifically and effectively increasing production volume and innovating production technology, providing reliable bentonite powder production equipment for a wide range of enterprises.
The application of bentonite
Bentonite, a highly absorbent clay formed from weathered volcanic ash, finds extensive applications across various industries: it is widely used in drilling muds to lubricate and cool drill bits, stabilize boreholes, and remove cuttings in oil and gas exploration; serves as a binding agent in foundry sands for metal casting, in pelletizing iron ore, and in animal feed; acts as a clarifying agent in water and wastewater treatment, wine, and edible oil processing; functions as a sealant in landfills, ponds, and construction projects due to its low permeability; and is utilized in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and civil engineering for its rheological and swelling properties.
