Grinding Mills
Grinding mills are mainly used to grind raw materials into calcium carbonate powder.
Daswell grinding mills mainly include a ball mill and classification production line, roller mill, Raymond mill, and so on.

Mills for Fine and Ultrafine Powder Processing
Grinding mills are essential equipment for industries such as mining, construction, chemicals, and non-metallic mineral processing. They help to grind bulk materials such as limestone, calcium carbonate, barite, talc, quartz, and dolomite into fine or ultrafine powders that meet specific size and purity requirements.
Daswell offers a wide range of grinding solutions to meet different materials, capacities, and end-use goals. Our main products include ball mills for large-scale coarse grinding and several types of vertical roller mills for precision powder production.
Vertical roller mills refer to advanced grinding systems that use rotating rollers pressed against fixed rings or tables to grind materials under pressure. This type of equipment includes Raymond mills and ring roller mills, which are widely used for non-metallic minerals with a Mohs hardness of less than 7. These mills are ideal for obtaining fine powders ranging from 50 mesh to 2500 mesh, and have higher energy efficiency and lower dust emissions than traditional methods.
Whether you need a stable 325 mesh output or ultra-fine powders below 10 microns, Daswell mills offer customizable configurations, stable performance, and automated control. Our solutions have won the trust of the global market for their superior quality, reliability, and long service life.
