Mining & Minerals Processing
Mining and mineral processing applications require heavy-duty mixer construction for abrasive materials at large capacities. QUICK PROPACK supplies both SS316 units for mineral products destined for food, pharmaceutical, or personal care use, and carbon steel units for purely industrial mineral applications.
Recommended mixer
Horizontal ribbon mixer (carbon steel or SS304/SS316 depending on end-use)
Plough mixer (cohesive mineral powders, large capacity)
Industrial Minerals
- Calcium carbonate - ground (GCC) and precipitated (PCC) grades - standardization and blending
- Silica - fumed, precipitated, and crystalline quartz powder blending
- Gypsum powder - natural and synthetic gypsum blending and standardization
- Kaolin clay - water-washed, calcined, delaminated grades
- Bentonite - sodium and calcium bentonite blending
- Talc - cosmetic, pharmaceutical, industrial grade blending
- Barite (barium sulfate) - oil drilling and industrial grades
- Feldspar and nepheline syenite powder blending
- Wollastonite fiber powder - acicular and fine grades
- Calcium sulfate (anhydrite and hemihydrate) blending
Metal Powders
- Iron powder - reduced and atomized grades
- Aluminum powder - flake and spherical grades
- Copper and bronze powder blending
- Zinc powder blending
- Nickel powder blending
- Tungsten carbide powder for hard metal production
- Stainless steel powder for powder metallurgy and additive manufacturing
