Quartz Powder Processing Plant
Processing Overview
Quartz is a common silicate mineral with a wide range of industrial uses. It is processed into granular quartz sand (silica sand) and finer quartz powder. Quartz powder is favored in the market for its finer particle size (over 120 mesh) and higher purity.
What are the processes involved in a Quartz Powder Processing Plant?
Typically, turning quartz into fine powder requires four stages: preparation, crushing, grinding, and grading. Here, you can gain a deeper understanding of these detailed processes and their functions. This will help you establish your own silica powder processing plant business.
Raw Material Preparation:
Quartz raw materials are mined from the quarry and carefully screened to remove impurities. They are then cleaned to remove dust and contaminants. This ensures the quality of the final powder.
Crushing:
After drying and cleaning, the quartz is fed into a jaw crusher for primary crushing. This equipment breaks the material into small pieces. You can also use a hammer crusher or cone crusher for secondary crushing. These steps reduce the material to the desired feed size for grinding.
Grinding:
Our quartz powder production line is equipped with a feeder to feed the crushed quartz into the grinder. We also provide a feed silo for material storage. VEST offers three types of grinding mills for your selection. The ball mill is the most popular equipment among our Quartz Powder Processing Plant customers. Depending on your needs, you can also choose our Raymond mill for pulverizing.
Classification:
After grinding, the quartz powder enters the classification process. The VEST high-efficiency classifier separates the quartz powder into qualified fine powder and coarse powder. Unqualified fine powder is returned to the grinding equipment for re-grinding. Qualified fine powder is collected in the product silo. The equipment is equipped with a dust collector to collect fine powder, avoiding pollution and waste.
Which quartz grinder is right for your Quartz Powder Processing Plant?
A quartz grinder is a key piece of equipment in a quartz powder production line.
The following grinder features can help you quickly make a selection.
| Equipment | Ball Mill | Raymond mill | Vertical Roller Mill |
| Price | High | Low | High |
| Fineness | Coarse powder | Fine powder | Fine powder |
| Yield | High | Normal | Normal |
| Common Applications | Ores, cement | Non-flammable and non-explosive non-metallic materials | Cement clinker, slag, coal powder |
In addition, you can choose the appropriate grinder based on the particle size and properties of the grinding product.
Based on product particle size: Ball mill (20-200 mesh), Raymond mill (80-325 mesh), Vertical roller mill (20-400 mesh).
Based on material properties: For materials with higher hardness, ball mills and Raymond mills are recommended; for materials with medium hardness, high moisture content, and high viscosity, a Vertical roller mill is recommended. Next, let us take a detailed look at the advantages of these three quartz grinders.
1. Quartz Ball Mill
The ball mill is equipped with ceramic balls, effectively preventing iron contamination and improving product purity when processing quartz powder.
Feed size: ≤25mm
Discharge size: 20-200 mesh
Production capacity: 0.65–615 tons/hour
Suitable for dry or wet grinding of quartz.
Maximum output reaches 615 tons/hour, enabling continuous production.
Easy installation and adaptable to harsh environments.
2. Quartz Raymond Mill
The Raymond mill is a highly efficient fine grinding machine suitable for large-scale production of quartz powder.
Feed size: ≤30mm
Discharge size: 80-325 mesh
Production capacity: 8-176 tons/shift (8 hours)
The Raymond mill boasts a screening efficiency of up to 99%.
Its low investment and power consumption reduce production costs.
High automation reduces machine failure rates and minimizes labor costs. Excellent sealing performance ensures low noise and pollution levels.
3. Quartz Vertical Roller Mill
Vertical roller mills occupy less floor space, making them ideal for space-constrained quartz grinding plants and helping to reduce operating costs.
Feed size: ≤55 mm
Discharge size: 20-400 mesh
Capacity: 2–420 tons/hour
Hydraulic control reduces power consumption by 30%–50% compared to ball mills.
Occupancy is only 50% of that of traditional ball mills, reducing construction costs.
The fully automatic control system allows for remote operation.
