On March 31, the 5th National Exchange Conference on High-value Development of Calcium Carbonate Industry 2026 grandly kicked off in Xiangyang, Hubei Province. As a global manufacturer of grinding equipment, SBM made a strong appearance with full-process grinding solutions. Centering on intelligence, environmental protection and high efficiency, it joins hands with enterprises along the calcium carbonate industrial chain to explore new paths for high-value industrial development.
Calcium carbonate, one of the most widely applied inorganic non-metallic mineral powders worldwide, is facing an urgent transformation from scale expansion to value upgrading. Driven by the national "dual carbon" goals and the escalating demand for high-performance calcium-based materials in downstream sectors including plastics, coatings and new energy, the industry is compelled to break through the bottlenecks of overcapacity in low-end products and insufficient supply of high-end products.
Centering on the theme of Fine Processing, High-value Application, this conference gathers more than 300 industrial enterprises and over 20 authoritative experts. It focuses on key topics such as grinding technology innovation, solid waste resource utilization and functional application, interprets the environmental policy orientation of the 15th Five-Year Plan period, and discusses the practical application of core high-value technologies, providing ideas and support for the transformation of the calcium carbonate industry from low-end filling materials to high-end functional materials.

As a comprehensive solution provider for grinding equipment, SBM has deeply cultivated the industry for nearly 40 years. Always customer-oriented, it focuses on the whole processing flow of calcium carbonate. At this conference, SBM set up a special booth to showcase a series of intelligent grinding equipment and integrated solutions specially developed for the calcium carbonate industry.
At SBM's booth, two intelligent European trapezium grinding mills became the highlight of attention. The PMD permanent magnet direct-drive intelligent European trapezium grinding mill features a revolutionary design with a permanent magnet direct-drive motor, achieving an overall energy saving of over 15%. The MTW6X thin oil lubrication intelligent European trapezium grinding mill is equipped with a full thin oil lubrication system and intelligent control system, enabling real-time monitoring and remote regulation of the production process. It delivers core technical support for calcium carbonate enterprises to address dual challenges of cost control and environmental compliance.
During the exhibition, the booth of SBM received numerous representatives from upstream and downstream enterprises across the industrial chain, covering mining, powder processing, new material application and other fields. The company’s technical team conducted in-depth discussions with customers on calcium carbonate powder modification technology, equipment selection, intelligent upgrading of production lines and other key topics.
As a global benchmark in intelligent manufacturing of grinding equipment, SBM will continue to base itself on industry demands, advance technological innovation and product upgrading steadily, and provide high-quality grinding equipment and full-process solutions. United with all partners in the industrial chain, the enterprise will break through industrial development bottlenecks and drive the calcium carbonate industry toward green, high-end and intelligent development.
