2000 Mesh Barite Ultra-Fine Grinding Mill Equipment for Superfine Powder Production
Introduction to Barite Ultra-Fine Grinding Technology
Barite, as a critical industrial mineral, requires specialized ultra-fine grinding equipment to achieve 2000 mesh (D97≤5μm) fineness for applications in oil drilling, coatings, and advanced composites. This article explores the technical requirements and optimal solutions for superfine barite powder production.
Technical Challenges in 2000 Mesh Grinding
- Energy efficiency: Conventional mills consume excessive power at sub-micron levels
- Particle uniformity: Avoiding coarse particle contamination in final product
- Wear resistance: Barite’s Mohs 3-3.5 hardness accelerates equipment wear
- Thermal sensitivity: Preventing crystal structure damage during grinding

| Noise Level | ≤75dB | ≥90dB | ≥85dB |
System Configuration for Barite Production Line
A complete 2000 mesh barite processing system requires:
- Pre-Crushing Stage: Jaw crusher reducing raw barite to ≤20mm
- Drying System: Rotary dryer maintaining moisture <1%
- Grinding Core: XZM Ultrafine Mill with multi-stage classifiers
- Collection System: Pulse dust collector + cyclone separator
- Packaging: Automated valve bag filling system
Recommended Model: XZM236 Ultrafine Mill
For medium-scale barite production (8-10 tons/day at 2000 mesh), we recommend our XZM236 model:
- Capacity: 1.0-8.5 ton/h (adjustable for different fineness)
- Main Motor: 132kW with frequency conversion control
- Classifier: Dual-stage turbine design
- Standard Configuration: Includes explosion-proof system for safe operation
For larger production requirements up to 25 ton/h, our XZM268 model with 315kW main motor provides industrial-scale capacity while maintaining energy efficiency.
