Attapulgite clay ore is a high-quality mineral resource with strong adsorptivity, excellent colloidal properties, and ion exchange capacity, boasting broad application prospects in several key fields such as petroleum, chemical engineering, building materials, and feed. Among these, its application in the feed industry is particularly prominent — after deep processing, attapulgite powder, used as a feed additive, can effectively optimize the nutritional structure of feed, enhance the digestion and absorption of feed by animals, and thereby help the aquaculture industry achieve the goal of healthy animal growth.

A national-level high-tech enterprise has deeply engaged in the R&D field of biological attapulgite technology. Relying on policy dividends and market opportunities, it has achieved fruitful results in the R&D of green, healthy and efficient aquaculture products and is in a period of rapid development and growth. As a leading enterprise in the grinding equipment manufacturing field, Zenith, with its profound industry experience and technical strength, takes differentiated and high-end products as its core competitiveness and fully assists this enterprise in breaking through the bottleneck of scientific research achievement transformation. Through the joint construction of an intelligent and automated attapulgite ore production line, it has not only promoted the enterprise to transform its technological advantages into industrial advantages, but also realized the efficient development and utilization of local characteristic resources, providing solid support for the high-quality development of the local economy.

Material: Attapulgite Clay Ore

Fineness: 200 Mesh

Application of Finished Product: Feed Industry

Equipment Configuration: MTW European Trapezium Grinding Mill

In response to the enterprise's urgent need for production line upgrading, Zenith has adopted a service model of "on-site research + full-dimensional planning", arranging engineers to station at the customer's site for detailed surveys. During the demand analysis phase, the team fully covered the key elements of the entire production chain: it is necessary to scientifically plan the layout of the production site to ensure smooth operation processes; to evaluate the stability of power supply to avoid the risk of production interruption; to accurately test the core characteristics of attapulgite clay ore to provide data support for the processing technology; and to clarify the quality standards of finished feed products to ensure the products meet application requirements. Through systematic consideration, a solid foundation is laid for the production line upgrading.

Based on detailed on-site research data, the technical team of Shanghai Zenith has fully integrated the data analysis capability of advanced simulation software with years of accumulated practical experience to tailor a comprehensive full-process solution for the customer. This solution not only includes accurate equipment selection recommendations, but also covers scientific process design and sound supporting facility planning, meeting the production line upgrading needs in an all-round manner.

In view of the processing characteristics of attapulgite clay ore, such as high hardness and strong viscosity, the team conducted multiple rounds of technical demonstration and finally decided to adopt the MTW European;Trapezium;Grinding Mill as the core processing equipment. With its advanced grinding system and the application of high-manganese steel wear-resistant materials, this equipment can not only maintain stable grinding efficiency during long-term operation, but also accurately control the fineness of the product to ensure the core quality of feed additives. At the same time, its unique roller and grinding disc structure design effectively overcomes industry pain points such as material blockage and easy equipment wear, significantly reducing the frequency of production interruptions and strongly improving the overall operating efficiency and stability of the production line.

Advantages of MTW European Trapezium Grinding Mill

Technological Iteration, Mature and Stable Equipment: With nearly 40 years of grinding mill manufacturing experience, Zenith has realized four generations of grinding mill iteration and upgrading. It boasts advanced technology and stable equipment operation.

Special Grinding Design, High Grinding Efficiency: The curved surface scraper design is adopted to increase the material grinding area and improve the grinding efficiency.

Bevel Gear Integral Transmission, Reduced Energy Consumption: The bevel gear integral transmission and non-resistance air inlet volute design are applied, which ensure better material fluidity and lower energy consumption.

Thin Oil Lubrication, Extended Bearing Service Life: Both the equipment's main shaft transmission system and fan transmission system adopt thin oil lubrication. Compared with the traditional grease lubrication method, it has smaller lubrication resistance and lower oil temperature, which can effectively extend the bearing service life.

New Frequency Conversion Separator, High Finished Product Precision: The new suspended cage-type separator is used, with frequency conversion control. The fineness is adjustable and controllable, meeting the requirements of various specification particle sizes.

With the official delivery and commissioning of the project, the customer's attapulgite processing production line has taken on a brand-new look: the workshop is clean and spacious, and automated equipment operates at high speed in an orderly manner. The entire production cycle, from raw material entry to finished product packaging, can be completed in as little as one hour. This efficient production mode has not only enabled a leapfrog increase in the customer's production capacity, but also helped them take a solid step forward in green production and low-carbon development, achieving the coordinated development of economic and environmental benefits.

In the future, Shanghai Zenith will always be driven by innovation, guided by green development, and oriented towards high efficiency. It will continue to deepen its focus on grinding equipment and comprehensive solutions, providing strong support for the transformation and upgrading of more enterprises and empowering the high-quality development of the industry.
