About Limestone

What Is Limestone?

Limestone is a sedimentary rock composed primarily of calcium carbonate (CaCOโ‚ƒ), typically >90% purity in industrial grades. Its physical properties make it ideal for grinding into fine powders used across multiple industries.

Complete Limestone Processing Plant Flow

A full production line typically consists of these four stages. Each stage uses specific equipment matched to your capacity and fineness requirements.

๐Ÿชจ
Step 01

Stage 1: Primary Crushing

Raw limestone blocks (โ‰ค1000mm) are fed into a jaw crusher or impact crusher, reducing particle size to โ‰ค30mm. This prepares the material for efficient grinding.

Step 02

Stage 2: Grinding (Milling)

Crushed limestone is fed into the grinding mill. Depending on your target fineness (200โ€“2500 mesh), we select Raymond Mill, Vertical Mill, or SCM Ultrafine Mill.

Step 03

Stage 3: Classification (Separation)

A high-efficiency classifier (integrated into the mill or standalone) separates oversized particles, which are returned to the mill for re-grinding. Ensures consistent fineness.

Stage 4: Collection & Packaging

Qualified powder passes through a pulse dust collector, collecting 99.9% of particles. Final product is conveyed to storage silos or directly to bagging machines.

Limestone Powder Fineness & Applications

We can produce limestone powder from coarse 200 mesh all the way to ultrafine 2500 mesh. Each fineness grade serves different industrial purposes.

200
Mesh (75ฮผm)

Agriculture, roadbase, soil treatment. Low-cost application, high volume.

Raymond Mill
325
Mesh (45ฮผm)

FGD desulfurization, cement admixture. Most demanded specification.

Raymond / Vertical Mill
800
Mesh (18ฮผm)

Paper coating, PVC filler, adhesives. Higher value product.

SCM Ultrafine Mill
1250
Mesh (10ฮผm)

Premium calcium carbonate, rubber, high-grade plastics filler.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to set up a limestone grinding plant? โ–ผ
For small-scale plants (1โ€“10 TPH), the typical timeline from order to commissioning is 3โ€“5 months. For large-scale plants (20โ€“100 TPH), it usually takes 6โ€“12 months including civil construction. We provide detailed project schedules with each proposal.
Can you handle both equipment supply and installation? โ–ผ
Yes. We offer full EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) services. Our team handles process design, equipment manufacturing, shipping, site installation, commissioning, and operator training. You receive a fully operational plant.
What limestone moisture content can your plant handle? โ–ผ
Most of our mills can handle limestone with moisture content โ‰ค6%. If your material has higher moisture (6โ€“15%), we recommend adding a pre-drying system before the grinding stage. We will assess your specific material during the technical consultation phase.
What is the minimum order/plant size you offer? โ–ผ
Our smallest complete plant starts at 1 TPH capacity (typically using an R-Series Raymond Mill). There is no minimum for inquiry โ€” we consult on any scale of project.
Do you provide spare parts after the plant is installed? โ–ผ
Yes. We maintain a full spare parts inventory and can ship globally within 3โ€“7 business days. We also recommend an initial spare parts kit when purchasing the plant to ensure smooth operation during the first year.
