The rubber industry in Laos has been experiencing significant growth in recent years, driving the demand for high-quality fillers that enhance product performance and reduce manufacturing costs. Among various filler materials, calcium carbonate stands out as one of the most important additives in rubber production. Proper grinding of calcium carbonate to specific particle sizes is crucial for achieving optimal reinforcement, improved processing characteristics, and enhanced mechanical properties in rubber products.
Calcium carbonate serves multiple functions when used as a filler in rubber manufacturing. Primarily, it acts as a reinforcing agent that improves the tensile strength, tear resistance, and abrasion resistance of rubber products. Additionally, it helps reduce production costs by extending the rubber compound while maintaining or even improving certain physical properties. The particle size distribution of ground calcium carbonate directly influences its effectiveness as a filler. For rubber applications, the optimal particle size typically ranges from 1-5 microns, with specific surface area requirements that ensure proper dispersion within the rubber matrix.
In the context of Laos’ growing rubber industry, having access to reliable grinding equipment that can produce consistent quality calcium carbonate powder is essential for maintaining competitive advantage and product quality.

For medium-scale rubber manufacturing operations in Laos, a production capacity of 3-5 tons per hour represents an optimal balance between investment cost and production requirements. Several technical factors must be considered when selecting appropriate grinding equipment for this specific application:
After careful analysis of the specific requirements for calcium carbonate grinding in Laos’ rubber industry, Shanghai Zenith Machinery Co., Ltd. recommends the MTW Trapezium Grinding Mill as the ideal solution for 3-5 TPH production capacity. This advanced grinding mill incorporates multiple patented technologies that make it particularly suitable for processing calcium carbonate for rubber filler applications.
The MTW Trapezium Grinding Mill features a unique grinding mechanism that ensures uniform particle size distribution, which is critical for achieving consistent performance in rubber compounds. Its bevel gear overall transmission system provides stable operation and high transmission efficiency, while the curved air duct design minimizes airflow resistance and enhances powder collection efficiency.
| Model | Max. Feed Size (mm) | Final Size (mm) | Capacity (t/h) | Main Motor (kW) | Fan Motor (kW) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| MTW110 | <30 | 1.6-0.045 | 3-9 | 55 | 55 |
| MTW110Z | <30 | 1.6-0.045 | 3-10 | 55 | 55 |
| MTW138Z | <35 | 1.6-0.045 | 6-17 | 90 | 110 |
For operations requiring higher production flexibility within the 3-5 TPH range, the MTW110 and MTW110Z models offer perfect solutions. These models can efficiently process calcium carbonate with maximum feed size of 30mm and produce final products with fineness ranging from 1.6mm to 0.045mm, perfectly meeting the requirements for rubber filler applications.
For rubber manufacturers requiring ultra-fine calcium carbonate powder for high-performance rubber products, Shanghai Zenith offers the XZM Ultrafine Grinding Mill as an alternative solution. This mill is particularly suitable for producing superfine powder with fineness ranging from 325 to 2500 mesh, making it ideal for specialized rubber applications where superior reinforcement is required.
| Model | Working Diameter (mm) | Max Feed Size (mm) | Final Size (mesh) | Output (kg/h) | Main Motor Power (kW) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| XZM221 | Φ800 | ≤20 | 325-2500 | 500-4500 | 75 |
The XZM221 model, with its output capacity of 500-4500 kg/h, can be strategically deployed for specialized production lines within the broader 3-5 TPH requirement. Its ability to produce extremely fine particles makes it valuable for manufacturing high-grade rubber products that demand exceptional physical properties.
