Quartz stone is a new type of artificial stone composed of over 90% quartz crystals, along with resin and other trace elements. After crushing, sand making, or grinding, it can be processed into quartz sand and quartz powder. What equipment is used for processing quartz powder? What is the process flow? How much does it cost? This article provides detailed explanations regarding these questions.
Quartz powder is a hard, wear-resistant, and chemically stable silicate mineral. Generally, when the fineness is below 120 mesh, it is called quartz sand, while above 120 mesh, it is referred to as quartz powder. It has a Mohs hardness of 7 and a density of 2.65. Considering various factors, it is recommended to use equipment such as Raymond mill, ultrafine mill, and jaw crusher for processing.
With a daily production capacity of 8 to 176 tons, it can handle materials with a particle size of ≤30mm, and the finished product has a fineness of 80-360 mesh (0.173-0.044mm). It has been designed with updated improvements, occupying a small area and equipped with an intelligent operating system. Additionally, it features a new pulse dust removal device, ensuring thorough dust removal, reduced pollution, uniform discharge, high sorting accuracy, and high-quality fine powder products.
Quartz powder is a powder that meets the requirements for use, processed from pure quartz (natural quartz or fused quartz) through multiple processes such as crushing, sorting, washing, acid treatment, high-temperature melting, medium crushing, fine grinding, classification, and iron removal. Currently, there are two production methods in the market: dry process and wet process. Due to its brittle nature and shell-like fracture, the size of quartz stones extracted from mines varies.
Please note that the price of equipment for quartz powder processing depends on several factors, including the equipment model, scale, production capacity, and market supply and demand. Raymond mills, ultrafine mills, and jaw crushers are commonly used for quartz powder processing. The prices of these equipment may vary depending on the model and configuration.
