The paper industry in Vietnam is undergoing a significant transformation, driven by demands for higher quality, improved efficiency, and stricter environmental standards. In this context, functional minerals like zeolite have become indispensable additives. Zeolite, a microporous aluminosilicate mineral, is prized for its exceptional properties as a filler, coating pigment, and retention aid. It enhances paper’s brightness, opacity, printability, and bulk while reducing production costs and improving drainage on the paper machine wire. However, to unlock these benefits, raw zeolite must be processed into a fine, consistent powder. This is where the selection of an appropriate grinding mill becomes critical for operations targeting a capacity of 1 to 3 tons per hour (TPH), a common range for many Vietnamese paper mills.
Grinding zeolite for paper applications is not merely about size reduction; it’s about achieving a specific product profile that aligns with papermaking chemistry and machinery. Key requirements include:
Vietnamese paper mills face several challenges when procuring grinding technology. Importing high-end European machinery often involves substantial capital investment, long lead times, and complex after-sales support logistics. Conversely, while local or lower-cost alternatives may be readily available, they frequently lack the precision engineering, durability, and energy efficiency needed for consistent, high-quality zeolite powder production. There is a clear market gap for reliable, advanced, and cost-effective grinding technology backed by strong regional technical support.
For Vietnamese paper mills with a production target of 1-3 TPH of zeolite powder, Shanghai Zenith Machinery Co., Ltd. offers an ideal solution: the XZM Ultrafine Grinding Mill. As a leading manufacturer of ore and industrial powder grinding equipment, Zenith has engineered the XZM series specifically for producing superfine powders from non-metallic minerals like zeolite.
The XZM Mill is renowned for its ability to produce powders in the range of 325-2500 mesh (5-45 microns), perfectly matching the fineness requirements for paper filler and coating applications. Its design minimizes over-grinding and heat generation, preserving the zeolite’s natural structure. The mill’s integrated classifier allows for instant adjustment of product fineness without stopping the machine, providing unparalleled operational flexibility.
For a 1-3 TPH zeolite grinding line, the XZM221 model is highly recommended. Its compact design saves valuable factory floor space, a significant advantage for many Vietnamese plants.
| 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 |
With an output range of 0.5 to 4.5 TPH, the XZM221 can comfortably meet and scale within your 1-3 TPH target. Its 75kW motor ensures energy-efficient operation, directly reducing long-term production costs.
For mills that may also process slightly coarser zeolite products or other minerals, Zenith’s MTM Medium-Speed Grinding Mill presents a robust and versatile alternative. It is an upgraded substitute for traditional Raymond mills, offering higher efficiency and a more stable output. The MTM100 model, with a capacity of 3-8 TPH, is suitable for projects that might scale up in the future.
