Peridotite, an ultramafic igneous rock with high hardness (Mohs 5.5–7) and abrasiveness, demands specialized grinding machinery to achieve efficient size reduction for industrial applications such as construction aggregates, soil amendments, and refractory materials.
Raymond mill, ultrafine mill and ball mill are the main peridotite powder grinding mills. They are suitable for processing peridotite powder of different fineness and output.
Key Grinding Equipment for Peridotite
Raymond Mill
l Application: Coarse to medium grinding (45–150 μm) for construction materials.
l Features:
n High-pressure grinding rollers (GCr15SiMn alloy) withstand abrasive minerals.
n Throughput: 1–30 t/h, adjustable via classifier speed.
n Energy efficiency: 18–25 kWh/t for peridotite processing.
HGM Ultrafine Mill
l Application: Fine to ultrafine grinding (5–45 μm) for high-value refractory or chemical uses.
l Features:
n Multi-stage grinding (impact + attrition) minimizes over-pulverization.
n Temperature-controlled chambers prevent thermal stress cracks in peridotite.
n Fineness control: Adjustable via hydraulic or pneumatic systems.
Ball Mill
l Application: Wet or dry grinding for mineral processing circuits.
l Features:
n Rotational speed: 15–35 rpm for optimal particle size distribution.
n Liner materials: Rubber or manganese steel for wear resistance.

HGM Series: Combines cryogenic grinding and modular designs for peridotite ultrafine powder (<10 μm).
Customization: Adjustable classifier blades and grinding pressure for varying ore hardness.
Operational Considerations
Feed Preparation: Primary crushing (jaw/cone crushers) to ≤30 mm reduces mill load.
Dust Control: Pulse-jet bag filters (99.9% efficiency) comply with industrial hygiene standards.
Maintenance: Real-time monitoring of roller wear and bearing temperature via IoT sensors.
Case Study: Peridotite Refractory Production
A mining operator in Guangxi, China, achieved:
- Equipment: CLIRIK HGM1280 ultrafine grinding mill.
- Output: 6.5 t/h of 15–20 μm powder for magnesium-rich refractory bricks.
- Cost Savings: 40% lower media wear vs. conventional Raymond mills.
Raymond mills and HGM ultrafine grinders dominate peridotite processing, balancing throughput and fineness. CLIRIK’s wear-resistant engineering and modular designs provide adaptability for diverse industrial requirements. For abrasive ores, prioritize alloy-hardened components and classifier precision.
