Bentonite Clay Milling for Construction

-- Steady & Reliable Manufacturer --

Introduction

Bentonite is a unique clay prized for its thixotropic properties—its ability to form a viscous gel when mixed with water. This makes it essential for applications like drilling mud and waterproofing. Our bentonite clay milling systems are designed to carefully grind the raw clay while preserving its delicate platelet structure, which is the source of its swelling capacity. The integrated drying capability of our mills is crucial for processing this high-moisture material into a fine, highly-absorbent, and valuable powder.

Applications

  • Civil Engineering: Key component in drilling mud for piling and diaphragm wall construction.
  • Waterproofing: Used in geosynthetic clay liners (GCLs) for landfills, ponds, and tunnels.
  • Foundry: Acts as a bonding agent for green sand in metal casting molds.
  • Agriculture: Used as an animal feed binder and for soil improvement.

Advantages

  • Gentle Grinding with Drying: Our mills use hot air to simultaneously dry and lift the material, resulting in a gentle grinding action that minimizes damage to the clay's structure.
  • Moisture Control: Can handle raw bentonite with high moisture content and produce a final powder with a precisely controlled low moisture level (e.g., <10%).
  • Consistent Fineness: Produces powder meeting API specifications for drilling-grade bentonite (typically 90% passing 200 mesh).
  • High Efficiency: Combining drying and grinding into one operation saves space, capital investment, and energy compared to separate systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Q: Why is it important not to overheat the bentonite during grinding?
  • A: Overheating can cause the bentonite to lose its bound water molecules, which permanently damages its crystalline structure and severely reduces its swelling capacity and viscosity—the very properties that make it valuable. Our systems use carefully controlled air temperatures to prevent this.
  • Q: Can I produce both sodium bentonite and calcium bentonite powder?
  • A: Yes, our milling system can process either type. The grinding and drying parameters can be adjusted to suit the specific characteristics of the feed material to produce a high-quality final product.
