Below are two case studies showcasing how ZFENG’s tailored solutions are transforming the industry.

Case Study 1: Empowering a Ceramic Industry Leader with Efficient Production

Client Background

A leading ceramic tile manufacturer in Guangdong, China, producing 10 million square meters annually, faced challenges with its traditional ball mills. High energy consumption (approximately 35 kWh/ton) and frequent maintenance due to steel lining wear increased production costs, necessitating an upgrade to enhance competitiveness.

ZFENG Solution

In 2023, ZFENG deployed the Ball Mill Dedicated All-in-One Machine, customized for the client’s needs:

• High-Density Ceramic Linings and Media: Alumina ceramic linings and grinding balls (3.4 specific         gravity) minimized wear and contamination, ensuring high-purity grinding for glaze and body materials.

• Intelligent Control System: Integrated real-time monitoring and parameter optimization for precise control of rotation speed and media load, achieving a uniform particle size distribution (P80 of 0.075 mm).
• Energy-Saving Motor: Equipped with an auto-decompression start motor, reducing starting current by 20% and lowering energy consumption.

Results

1. 20% Energy Reduction: Grinding energy consumption dropped from 35 kWh/ton to 28 kWh/ton, saving approximately $50,000 annually in electricity costs.
2. Enhanced Quality: Uniform particle size distribution reduced tile defects by 15%, boosting product market competitiveness.
3. Lower Maintenance Costs: Ceramic linings extended maintenance intervals from 6 months to 18 months, cutting downtime by 60%.
4. Sustainability Impact: Annual CO2 emissions reduced by 200 tons, supporting the client’s green development goals.

Client Testimonial:
“ZFENG’s Ball Mill Dedicated All-in-One Machine has significantly reduced our production costs while improving product quality. Their professional solutions and exceptional service give us confidence in future collaborations.”

Case Study 2: Enabling High-Purity Grinding in Metallurgy

Client Background

A copper ore processing plant in Jiangxi, China, with a throughput of 500 tons/hour, struggled with iron contamination from steel grinding media in its secondary grinding stage, impacting copper extraction purity. High energy costs and equipment instability further necessitated an efficient solution.

ZFENG Solution

In 2024, ZFENG installed the Ball Mill Dedicated All-in-One Machine, optimized for wet grinding environments:

• High-Purity Ceramic Grinding Media: Alumina ceramic balls eliminated iron contamination, ensuring high-purity copper extraction.

• Wet Grinding Optimization: Supported wet grinding for ores with Mohs hardness of 8–8.5, with a grid liner enabling efficient discharge at 340 t/h throughput.

• Durable Design: Combined cast steel hollow shaft and wear-resistant ceramic linings ensured stability under high-intensity conditions.

Results

1. 5% Recovery Rate Increase: Eliminating iron contamination boosted copper recovery, generating an additional $200,000 in annual revenue.
2. 15% Energy Savings: Grinding energy consumption decreased from 40 kWh/ton to 34 kWh/ton, saving $75,000 annually.
3. Improved Stability: Unplanned downtime reduced by 50%, lowering maintenance costs.
4. Seamless Integration: The machine integrated effortlessly into the existing circuit without requiring adjustments to other equipment.

Client Testimonial:
“ZFENG’s solution perfectly addressed our iron contamination issue while reducing energy and maintenance costs. Their technical expertise and responsive support make them a true partner.”
