The rubber industry in Syria, like many developing industrial sectors, relies heavily on high-quality fillers to enhance product performance, reduce costs, and improve processing characteristics. Among various mineral fillers, finely ground quartz stands out for its excellent properties, including high chemical inertness, good dispersion, and the ability to improve the mechanical strength and abrasion resistance of rubber compounds. The key to unlocking these benefits lies in achieving a consistent and ultra-fine particle size, typically targeting 200 mesh (approximately 74 microns). This fineness ensures optimal surface area and integration within the rubber matrix. Selecting the right grinding technology is therefore paramount for Syrian manufacturers aiming to produce competitive rubber products for both domestic and export markets.
Grinding quartz, a hard and abrasive material (7 on the Mohs scale), to a uniform 200 mesh powder presents specific technical challenges. Traditional grinding equipment often suffers from high wear rates, inconsistent particle size distribution, excessive energy consumption, and significant dust pollution. For the Syrian industrial context, where operational efficiency and cost control are crucial, these drawbacks can severely impact profitability and product quality. The ideal solution must offer durability, precision, energy efficiency, and a compact footprint suitable for various production scales.
Shanghai Zenith Machinery Co., Ltd., an excellent manufacturer of ore grinding equipment in China, has made significant achievements in the field of ultra-fine powder grinding. Specializing in the research, development, and production of industrial powder grinding equipment, Zenith offers a comprehensive portfolio of machines perfectly suited for the demanding task of producing 200-mesh quartz filler. For the specific application of quartz grinding for rubber filler, two of our flagship products stand out: the MTW Trapezium Grinding Mill and the XZM Ultrafine Grinding Mill.
The MTW Trapezium Grinding Mill is a multi-patent grinding mill renowned for its innovative curved surface duct, internal lubricating system, and arc air channel. These features make it exceptionally suitable for grinding hard materials like quartz. Its compact structure, high grinding efficiency, and long service life directly address the challenges of high abrasion and energy consumption. The MTW series can easily produce powder in the range of 1.6-0.045mm (approx. 10-325 mesh), making the 200-mesh target well within its capability. Its eco-friendly design with a pulse dust collector minimizes environmental impact, a crucial consideration for sustainable industrial development.
The following table details the technical parameters of key MTW models relevant for medium to large-scale quartz filler production in Syria:
| Model | Max. Feed Size (mm) | Final Size (mm) | Capacity (t/h) | Main Motor (kW) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MTW138Z | <35 | 1.6-0.045 | 6-17 | 90 |
| MTW175G | <40 | 1.6-0.045 | 9.5-25 | 160 |
| MTW215G | <50 | 1.6-0.045 | 15-45 | 280 |
For producers focusing on ultra-fine and consistent 200-mesh powder with potential for even finer grades, the XZM Ultrafine Grinding Mill is the ideal choice. This mill is specifically designed for superfine powder production and excels in grinding materials with a Mohs hardness below 7, which includes quartz. Its unique grinding ring and roller design, coupled with a high-efficiency classifier, ensures a narrow and precise particle size distribution. The XZM mill can achieve an output fineness ranging from 325 to 2500 mesh, offering exceptional control and consistency for the target 200-mesh product. It is known for its high capacity, low energy consumption per ton, and reliable operation.
Technical parameters for the XZM series are as follows:
| 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 |
| XZM268 | Φ1680 | ≤20 | 325-2500 | 5000-25000 | 315 |
