Abstract: The SCM Ultrafine Powder Mill is designed for small-scale ultrafine powder projects, achieving 325–2500 mesh in a single pass. The bearing-free grinding chamber prevents breakdowns, making it suitable for small-batch, high-precision processing of talc, graphite, and bentonite.
Many small-scale mineral processing plants produce ultrafine powders such as talc, graphite, bentonite, and kaolin. With modest daily output requirements and limited budgets, the initial investment for LUM ultrafine vertical mills is relatively high, while traditional ultrafine mills pose safety hazards due to easily damaged internal bearings and loose screws. The SBM SCM series of ultrafine mills incorporates advanced Swedish grinding technology to deliver cost-effective equipment tailored to the small-scale ultrafine powder market.
The core innovation of the SCM ultrafine powder mill lies in its grinding chamber, which features no rolling bearings and no exposed fastening screws. This design eliminates equipment downtime caused by damaged bearing seals or loose screws at the source, significantly enhancing operational safety. The finished product fineness is freely adjustable between 325 and 2,500 mesh, and the ultra-fine standard of D97 ≤ 5 μm can be achieved in a single grinding pass. Under equivalent power and fineness conditions, grinding efficiency is 40% higher than that of air-jet mills, while energy consumption is reduced by 70%, offering significant long-term operational cost advantages for small-scale processing plants.
Equipment models range from SCM800 to SCM1680, with production capacities ranging from 0.5 to 25 metric tons per hour. The maximum feed size is ≤20 mm; raw ore can be fed directly into the mill after simple crushing. When paired with a small elevator, storage silo, and pulse dust collector, a complete production line can be formed. The entire system has a small footprint and can be put into operation in standard factory buildings without major modifications. The entire unit is equipped with a dedicated silencer and a high-efficiency pulse dust collector, ensuring low-noise, dust-free operation that meets environmental regulations for small-scale processing plants in rural areas.
Suitable materials include medium- to low-hardness non-metallic minerals such as talc, graphite, bentonite, marble, and kaolin. Ultrafine talc powder is used in cosmetics and as a plastic filler; graphite powder is used in conductive materials and as a carbon additive; and ultrafine bentonite powder serves as an adsorbent raw material in the chemical industry. Both the small-scale production lines for Inner Mongolia bentonite and Hubei silica have selected the SCM ultrafine mill. The equipment features a simple structure, requiring only one person for routine inspections and maintenance. Wear parts are easy to replace, and no professional technicians are needed for long-term on-site supervision.
Customers in small-scale ultrafine projects often overlook the impact of ore moisture and impurities on particle fineness. Selecting equipment that is too small can lead to insufficient production capacity, while equipment that is too large results in idle capital.

FAQ
Q:What is the maximum mesh size of ultrafine powder that the SCM ultrafine mill can process?
A: Fully adjustable from 325 to 2,500 mesh; it can stably produce ultrafine talc and graphite powder up to 2,500 mesh.
Q:How do you distinguish between the application scenarios for the SCM ultrafine mill and the LUM ultrafine vertical mill?
A: The SCM is suitable for small-scale, low-cost projects with capacities of 0.5–25 t/h; the LUM is suitable for high-end, large-capacity ultrafine powder production lines with capacities of 1.5–16 t/h.
Q:Does the SCM ultrafine mill generate a lot of dust during operation?
A: The entire machine operates under negative pressure in a sealed environment and is equipped with a high-efficiency pulse dust collector. Dust is completely collected, ensuring no dust is released into the workshop and meeting environmental protection standards.
