Thank you for your inquiry regarding a small-batch grinding solution for gypsum processing. At Shanghai Zenith Machinery, we understand that pilot projects, research & development, and specialized production runs require robust yet flexible equipment. Based on your requirements, we recommend our advanced Raymond Mill (High-Pressure Grinding Mill) as the ideal solution for your small-batch gypsum grinding operations.

Our Raymond Mill has been a cornerstone in mineral processing for decades, and Zenith's upgraded version incorporates modern technological advancements while retaining its core strengths. For gypsum grinding, it offers a perfect balance of efficiency, control, and cost-effectiveness, especially for operations where large-scale vertical mills or ball mills would be an over-investment.

Why Choose Our Raymond Mill for Small-Batch Gypsum Grinding?

Gypsum, whether for construction plasters, agricultural soil conditioning, or food-grade applications, demands consistent fineness and high purity. Our Raymond Mill is engineered to meet these precise needs.

Compact Footprint and Independence: One of the most significant advantages for small-batch operations is its space-saving design. The mill forms an independent production system, from raw material feeding to final powder collection. This integrated design means you do not need extensive auxiliary equipment or a large plant footprint, significantly reducing your initial investment in infrastructure.

Exceptional Screening Efficiency and Product Quality: The final gypsum powder produced is renowned for its well-distributed fineness. Our mill achieves a remarkable 99% screening efficiency, ensuring that virtually all output meets your target particle size specification. This minimizes waste and re-processing, a critical factor for cost-sensitive, small-batch production. Furthermore, we use high-quality steel for core components and premium abrasion-resistant materials for vulnerable parts, guaranteeing longevity and consistent product quality, batch after batch.

Intelligent Control for Simplified Operation: Managing a small team or operating with limited personnel is streamlined through the mill's intelligent electric control system. This system allows for labor-free operation and simplifies maintenance procedures, directly cutting down on long-term operational costs. You can achieve stable production with minimal manual intervention.

Technical Specifications for Your Project

• Model Applicability: Our small to mid-size Raymond Mill models.
• Capacity: 3-22 T/H (We can tailor a solution for the lower end of this range to perfectly suit small-batch needs).
• Input Size: 0-35mm.
• Output Fineness: Adjustable from 10 to 325 mesh, ideal for various gypsum applications.

Working Principle for Consistent Results

Material is fed into the machine via the side feed hopper. The grinding roller assembly, suspended on the main machine's plum blossom frame, revolves around the vertical axis while rotating on its own. Centrifugal force causes the grinding rollers to swing outward and press firmly against the grinding ring. A scraper then lifts the gypsum and feeds it into the gap between the roller and the ring, where the crushing action takes place. This mechanical grinding ensures a stable and controllable process.

Pricing and Quotation

A precise price quote for a small-batch Raymond Mill system is highly dependent on the specific model capacity, desired level of automation, and configuration of auxiliary equipment (such as feeders and dust collectors). As a guideline, our Raymond Mills represent a significantly lower capital investment compared to larger vertical roller mills while offering superior energy efficiency compared to traditional ball mills.

We provide comprehensive quotations that include:

• Raymond Mill main machine
• Recommended auxiliary equipment (feeder, jaw crusher, bucket elevator, etc.)
• Installation, commissioning, and operational training services
• Shipping and insurance costs to your nearest port

All our equipment, including the Raymond Mill, is backed by ISO, CE, and CU-TR certifications, ensuring international standards of quality and safety.
