In recent years, the use of dolomite powder in the animal feed industry has gained increasing importance, especially in the Gulf region where the livestock sector continues to expand rapidly. Dolomite, a natural mineral composed primarily of calcium magnesium carbonate (CaMg(CO3)2), is an excellent source of calcium and magnesium—two vital minerals for animal health and growth. The demand for high-quality feed-grade dolomite powder has therefore increased significantly in countries such as the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
To meet this market demand, it is essential to employ a high-performance, efficient, and stable dolomite grinding mill. Shanghai Zenith Machinery Co., Ltd., a leading Chinese manufacturer of industrial grinding equipment, offers comprehensive solutions tailored to the specific needs of mineral grinding projects, including those designed for producing dolomite powder at capacities of 5–10 tons per hour (TPH).
In the UAE, agricultural modernization and livestock management have created a growing demand for mineral-based feed additives. Dolomite is used as a feed additive to improve calcium-magnesium balance, enhance nutrient absorption, and support bone and eggshell development in poultry and livestock. The fine powder form of dolomite is particularly preferred due to its easy blending properties and consistent particle distribution.
The processing of dolomite into fine and uniform powder requires advanced grinding equipment capable of handling relatively hard minerals. For production lines with a capacity of 5–10 TPH, precision grinding and energy efficiency become critical factors. This is where Shanghai Zenith’s advanced grinding mills come into play, providing not only performance reliability but also environmental compatibility, which is increasingly valued in the Gulf region’s industrial projects.
Shanghai Zenith Machinery Co., Ltd. offers a wide range of grinding solutions suitable for dolomite powder production, including the MTW Trapezium Grinding Mill and the LM Vertical Grinding Mill. Both models are capable of delivering stable output within the 5–10 TPH range when configured correctly for dolomite applications. Their flexibility, low operational cost, and automation capabilities make them ideal for continuous production environments in the UAE.
The MTW Trapezium Grinding Mill is developed based on European grinding technology and years of field experience. It combines advanced design principles with robust structural components to ensure high efficiency, low energy consumption, and superior output quality. For a dolomite feed additive project targeting 5–10 TPH, models like MTW110Z or MTW138Z perfectly match the production requirements.
| Model | Max. Feed Size (mm) | Final Size (mm) | Capacity (t/h) | Main Motor (kW) | Fan Motor (kW) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| MTW110Z | <30 | 1.6–0.045 | 3–10 | 55 | 55 |
| MTW138Z | <35 | 1.6–0.045 | 6–17 | 90 | 110 |
The MTW Trapezium Mill features a European-style bevel gear transmission and internal thin-oil lubrication system, which reduce maintenance frequency and prolong machine life. Its precise classifier ensures consistent product fineness — a key factor for feed additive applications.
For operators seeking a more integrated and compact system, the LM Vertical Grinding Mill represents an excellent solution. This mill integrates crushing, drying, grinding, and classification into one system, significantly reducing the overall plant footprint and operational complexity. It is ideal for medium-capacity dolomite grinding plants producing between 5 and 10 TPH of fine powder.
| Model | Plate Diameter (mm) | Capacity (t/h) | Output Fineness (μm) | Max Feed Size (mm) | Main Motor (kW) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| LM130K | 1300 | 10–28 | 170–40 | <38 | 200 |
With its advanced design, LM Vertical Grinding Mill offers exceptional stability and safety. The system’s negative pressure operation minimizes dust and ensures a clean working environment, meeting environmental standards that are increasingly important in modern UAE industries.
Particle Size Control: Feed additives require a specific fineness range to ensure bioavailability and proper mixing with other ingredients. Typically, dolomite is ground to 325–600 mesh for feed applications. Both the MTW and LM mills feature precise classifiers to deliver this level of fineness consistently.
Moisture Content: Dolomite has moderate moisture retention characteristics, hence grinding systems with integrated drying capability, such as the LM Vertical Mill, are ideal for achieving consistent results even when raw materials have slight moisture variations.
Energy Consumption: Energy efficiency is a crucial factor for large-scale feed production enterprises in the UAE. Shanghai Zenith’s designs leverage advanced airflow control and optimized roller-grinding geometry to minimize energy use while maintaining high throughput.
Automation & Control: With intelligent control solutions, the operator can easily adjust fineness, feed rate, and temperature. This ensures continuous production stability and high-quality end products.
