Kaolin processing & purification line

Complete wet kaolin line: dispersion and pulping, spiral classification and desanding, cyclones, water-cooled electromagnetic iron removal, and filter-press dewatering — with sand-washing front end and water recycling.

Overview

Our kaolin line takes crude kaolin from the mine face to a purified, dewatered product. Clay is dispersed into slurry, sand and stone are separated out, and weakly magnetic iron and titanium-bearing impurities are pulled out by water-cooled electromagnetic slurry separators before the slurry is pressed into cake.

The line is designed around your ore: sand content, target brightness and capacity decide the number of stages. A sand-washing front end and water recycling are part of the design.

Benefits

  • Higher whiteness after iron and titanium removal
  • Sand is separated and washed as a by-product
  • Process water is settled and reused
  • Designed from your own sample test

Kaolin water-washing whole line — 3D animation 2:22 — Walk-through of a complete kaolin wet-processing line: feeding and dispersion, spiral classification and desanding, slurry pools and pumps, water-cooled electromagnetic iron removal, filter press dewatering and product loading. Floating blue labels are in Chinese.
Dry powder iron-removal test on a magnetic separator 0:34 — Short factory clip of a dry powder test: an operator pours dry powder into the feed of a magnetic separator, and the treated powder is collected in a container below. This is a dry process — no slurry is used.
Lab sample test — from powder to slurry to iron removal 4:00 — Behind the scenes of our sample test (first 4 minutes): white powder is made into slurry, density is checked, the slurry is run through a laboratory wet magnetic separator with a matrix of steel-wool/mesh discs, and the iron-removed slurry is collected. Send us 5–10 kg and we report within 5 days.

FAQ

What does iron removal do to kaolin quality?

Magnetic removal of iron-bearing particles raises fired whiteness. The size of the effect depends on your ore, so we confirm it with your own sample.

Can the line also remove sand?

Yes. Kaolin lines include classification and desanding, and a sand-washing front end is available for sandy ore.

What capacity can the line be designed for?

Capacity is sized from your feed rate and product target — tell us on the contact page.

Do you publish prices?

No — price on request. We quote after your ore data and sample test.

How does the free sample test work?

The free sample test is for registered members — register on the Members page first (we verify you on WhatsApp). Then send 5–10 kg of your material. We run the tests in our lab and send a report within 5 days of receiving the sample. Price on request.
