The mill liner market can be segmented into several types, including the metal mill liner, rubber mill liner, and composite mill liner, additionally, there are specialized liners such as the magnetic mill liner, and the polyurethane mill liner.
Table The Profile of Mill Liner Segment by Type
Item | Description |
Metal Mill Liner | Metal Mill Liners are the most widely used type of mill lining and are typically made from high-strength steel alloys such as manganese steel, chromium steel, or nickel-hardened steel. These Mill Liners are strong, durable, abrasion and impact-resistant, making them suitable for high-wear applications such as grinders. |
Rubber Mill Liner | Rubber Mill Liner is another popular type of Mill Liner used in grinders. They are typically made from natural or synthetic rubber and offer several advantages over Metal Mill Liners, including better shock absorption, reduced noise levels, and improved grinding efficiency. |
Composite Mill Liner | Composite Mill Liners are made from a combination of materials such as rubber and steel or rubber and ceramic to provide a stronger and more durable liner with the benefits of both materials. Composite Mill Liner is known for its excellent wear resistance, impact resistance, and energy absorption capabilities. |
Others | Others include magnetic Mill Liner and polyurethane Mill Liner. The Magnetic Mill Liner is a relatively new type of liner that uses magnetic fields to hold the grinding media in place. These liners are usually made of ferromagnetic materials. Polyurethane Mill Liner is made of polyurethane. |
2 The Profile of Mill Liner Segment by Application
The applications for mill liners mainly include the cement industry, mining, thermal power, and metal casting.
Table The Profile of Mill Liner Segment by Application
Item | Description |
Cement Industry | The goal of the cement industry is to manufacture cement. Limestone, clay and other raw materials are ground into fine powder, called raw meal. The raw meal is sintered in a cement kiln and becomes clinker. Clinker is ground into a fine powder in a cement mill and mixed with gypsum to make cement. |
Mining | Mining is the process of extracting useful materials from the earth. Some examples of mined substances include coal, gold, or iron ore. Ore is usually relatively large in size and mixed with unwanted materials. By grinding the ore, valuable minerals are separated from the gangue so that they can be concentrated and extracted. Grinding is usually done in a grinder, which is a large rotating cylinder or drum. |
Thermal Power | Thermal power generation is a power generation method that utilizes the thermal energy generated when solid, liquid, and gaseous fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas are burned, and converts it into electrical energy through a power generation device. The basic process of this power generation method is: the fuel is burned in the boiler, and its heat is released and transferred to the water in the boiler, thereby generating high-temperature and high-pressure steam; the steam passes through the steam turbine and converts the heat energy into rotational power to drive the generator output electrical energy. In the thermal power generation process, coal grinding machines are mainly used in the coal grinding process of the combustion system. In this process, coal is ground into extremely fine particles by a coal mill for efficient combustion in the boiler furnace. |
Metal Casting | Metal casting is a process in which metal is smelted into a liquid that meets certain requirements and poured into a mold. After cooling, solidification, and cleaning, casting with a predetermined shape, size, and performance is obtained. Because the casting blanks are nearly formed, in addition to mass production of cast iron and cast steel, they are also used to produce large machine tool beds, rolling stock leaf springs, large gears, military weapons, etc. In the metal casting process, the grinding mill is mainly used to grind and polish castings to remove burrs and unevenness on the surface to make the castings smoother and more beautiful. |
