Kaolin is indispensable to ceramics and paper industries, valued for its whiteness, particle fineness, and chemical inertness. Producing kaolin that meets demanding quality benchmarks requires grinding equipment capable of delivering consistency, efficiency, and environmental compliance.

Industry Demands and Processing Challenges

Ceramics: Kaolin improves plasticity and enhances the appearance of porcelain, tiles, and sanitaryware.

Paper: Acts as a coating and filler, improving brightness, opacity, and printability.

Challenges: Achieving 2–20 micron particles, minimizing impurities, and controlling energy use—all without sacrificing yield.

MTW European Trapezium Mill Solution

The MTW series (including MTW175, MTW215, MTW218) addresses these demands through:
