Eliminating Iron Contamination: 120 T/H Potassium Feldspar Plant in India
How upgrading to a 2PGY1200×1000 Hydraulic Roller Crusher secured zero-iron purity and boosted downstream ball mill performance.
1. Client Background & Operational Bottlenecks
Our client, a tier-one ceramic raw materials refinery located in Gujarat, India, supplies premium potassium feldspar powder to high-end porcelain tile factories. Their legacy secondary fine-crushing circuit relied on high-velocity impact hammer mills, which created severe quality and financial crises:
High Iron Rejection Rates: The high-speed striking action of the hammers caused rapid abrasive metal wear, shedding fine magnetic and non-magnetic iron debris directly into the K-Feldspar matrices and destroying the sintered whiteness of the tiles.
Excessive Mud Slime Fines: The brittle feldspar generated over 28% useless fine powder sludge under repetitive impacts, choking the screening structures and creating heavy dust hazards inside the plant.

2. Engineered Customized Solution
Our material engineers completely overhauled the secondary milling loop by replacing the failing impact crushers with our heavy-duty 2PGY1200×1000 Hydraulic Double Roller Crusher.
The customized configuration features low-speed (60-80 RPM) rollers cast from specialized non-magnetic wear alloys. Operating with an optimized 4mm hydraulic discharge setting, the raw -80mm feldspar runs steadily into the pinch zone, triggering dense inter-particle static compression that fractures the minerals along natural crystal boundaries without scraping steel elements.

4. Client Verdict
“The 2PGY roller system completely turned our operations around. Not only did it eliminate the post-crush magnetic cleaning processes by preventing iron wear at the source, but the pre-fractured micro-cracks in the cubic feldspar feed also reduced our downstream ball milling energy bills by 22%.”
