To grind limestone into granules of 3 to 6 mm, you will need a suitable grinding machine that can achieve the desired particle size range. Here are some common machines used for this purpose:
1. Hammer Mill
– Best for: Medium to coarse grinding (3–6 mm).
– How it works: Uses rotating hammers to crush and pulverize limestone into smaller granules.
– Adjustability: Screen size can be changed to control output particle size.
2. Roller Crusher / Double Roll Crusher
– Best for: Producing uniform-sized granules (3–6 mm).
– How it works: Two counter-rotating rollers crush limestone into smaller, consistent particles.
– Adjustability: Gap between rollers can be set to control output size.
3. Impact Crusher
– Best for: Crushing limestone into medium-sized granules (3–6 mm).
– *
w it works: High-speed impact breaks down the material into smaller pieces.
4. Ball Mill (for finer grinding if needed)
– If a finer powder is also required alongside 3–6 mm granules, a ball mill can be used with classification screens to separate sizes.
Key Considerations:
– Feed Size: Ensure the input limestone chunks are not too large (ideally <50 mm) for efficient grinding.
– Moisture Content: Dry limestone grinds more easily; wet material may require drying first.
– Screening & Classification: After grinding, a vibrating screen or classifier can help separate the 3–6 mm granules from finer or coarser particles.
