Zenith’s Graphite Processing Line

Typically, the process of graphite mining is often finished in an open-pit quarry. Because open-pit mining of graphite can reduce the operation cost for owners of graphite quarry, and ensure safe working conditions. In addition, the graphite processing line often consists of several stages, such as blasting, transportation, crushing, and grinding, etc. As a professional manufacturer of mining equipment, Zenith are able to offer all-round mining solutions for our honored customers according to their practical situations and particular requirements. We believe that Zenith can give you personalized solutions for your quarrying activities. Here we focus on our graphite processing line, which mainly includes the process of crushing and grinding.

Brief Introduction of Graphite

Graphite is very soft, so it is used in the “lead” of pencils, which contain no lead at all, but are made of graphite and clay. It forms in veins in metamorphic rocks as the result of the metamorphism of organic material included in limestone deposits. It is an extremely soft mineral at 1 to 2 on Mohs’ hardness scale. It is black and has a black streak. Its softness and streak make graphite useful in making “lead” for pencils. Natural graphite is used mostly in what are called refractory applications. It is also used to make brake linings, lubricants, and molds in foundries. A variety of other industrial uses account for the remaining graphite consumed each year.

Process of Graphite Crushing

As we know, graphite is an extremely soft mineral at 1 to 2 on Mohs’ hardness scale. Basically, the process of graphite crushing only needs one crushing step. During the crushing process, the graphite crusher is the main equipment, and other auxiliary machines include the vibrating feeder, vibrating screen, and conveying system. As for the selection of graphite crushers, Zenith specialists suggest using the portable crushing plant, also called portable crusher. A portable crushing plant always integrates the crushing, sorting and conveying in a machine. So it can meet the special requirements of clients. The mobile crushing crusher overcomes the restraining factors of crushing site and complex basic configurations. In addition, its integrative installment reduces the installation of the complex infrastructure and accessory equipment, which can lower the consumption of materials and labors to a great degree. Undoubtedly, it is a mining machine with high ratio of price and performance.

Process of Graphite Grinding

Crushed graphite should be further grinded used by grinding mills. Types of grinding mill are varied, including the ball mill, Raymond mill, vertical mill, trapezium mill, coarse powder mill, and ultrafine mill, etc. As for the selection of grinding mill, Zenith specialists suggest the MTW trapezium mill, which is mainly applied to the powder processing of mineral products in industries of metallurgy, construction, chemistry, and mining etc. It has an internal oil pump which can lubricate the bearings both in main shaft and bevel gear shaft, without connecting any external oil pump or lubrication station. On the other hand, its porthole adopts smooth wind spiral, which also gives the mill a very beautiful appearance.
