Export of Bentonite Grinding Equipment to Colombia

Bentonite, a clay mineral primarily composed of montmorillonite, is widely used in industries such as petroleum extraction, steel casting, and chemical coatings due to its excellent binding and suspending properties.

Project Background

A leading Colombian chemical company sought to enhance its production capacity of high-quality bentonite powder to meet the growing demands of the local market. To achieve this, they required advanced grinding equipment capable of processing bentonite efficiently.

Equipment Selection and Supply

After comprehensive technical discussions and analysis of the client's needs, we recommended the MTW European Type Grinding Mill. This equipment offers high efficiency, low energy consumption, and ease of operation, making it ideal for fine powder processing. The supplied equipment included:

• MTW European Type Grinding Mill
• Classifier
• High-Efficiency Dust Collection System
• Electrical Control System
• Auxiliary Equipment

Production Process

Crushing Stage

Large pieces of bentonite are crushed by a crusher to the feed fineness (15mm-50mm) suitable for the mill.

Milling Stage

The crushed bentonite is conveyed to the storage silo via an elevator, then uniformly and quantitatively fed into the MTW European Type Grinding Mill's grinding chamber by a vibrating feeder for grinding.

Grading Stage

The ground material is classified by the classifier; unqualified powder is returned to the mill for re-grinding, while qualified fine powder proceeds to the next stage.

Collecting Stage

Qualified bentonite powder is collected by the high-efficiency dust collection system, stored in the finished product silo, and finally packaged or transported in bulk.

Project Outcomes

Post-installation and commissioning, the equipment operates stably, achieving the expected production capacity and product quality. The produced bentonite powder meets industry standards and is widely used in local petroleum extraction and chemical coating industries.

Through this collaboration, our company provided Colombia's chemical industry with an advanced bentonite grinding solution, aiding local industrial upgrading and sustainable development. We look forward to future collaborations with more Colombian enterprises to jointly promote local economic prosperity and progress.
