From raw material crushing and powder grinding to classification, collection, storage and delivery, Liming Heavy Industry provides complete limestone powder preparation systems for flue gas desulfurization applications.
Particle size, powder consistency, moisture and continuous feeding directly affect downstream slurry preparation and FGD operation. Each line is configured around your limestone properties, target fineness, hourly demand, plant layout and powder delivery method.
The correct choice is based on required capacity, final fineness, feed moisture, site conditions and maintenance strategy—not only on initial equipment cost.
Large-scale production
Designed for medium-to-large continuous limestone powder production. The integrated system combines grinding, classification and conveying functions for organized plant layouts and automated operation.
Flexible configuration
Well suited to small and medium FGD powder projects, mill replacement and independent limestone powder supply. Its flexible configuration supports a range of capacity and fineness requirements.
The configurations below are for preliminary planning. Final engineering should be based on limestone assay data, feed size, finished-powder specification, available utilities, plant layout and delivery distance.
For 3–15 TPH demand, an MTW mill can be integrated with crushing, feeding, dust collection and finished-powder storage for efficient start-up and stable output.
View solution details →For medium-scale plants and regional powder supply, the design focuses on feed buffering, negative-pressure dust control, finished-powder storage and continuous delivery.
View solution details →For centralized high-volume powder production, the LM solution emphasizes integrated process design, automation, maintenance clearance and efficient material logistics.
View solution details →| Project demand | Recommended mill | Typical fineness | Configuration focus | Suitable application |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3–15 TPH | MTW European Mill | 60–400 mesh | Crushing + storage + milling + bag filter + finished silo | Small utility units and starter powder projects |
| 15–55 TPH | MTW European Mill LM Vertical Mill | 60–400 mesh | Stable feeding, closed-circuit classification, storage and delivery | Medium power plants and regional supply |
| 30–100+ TPH | LM Vertical Mill | 60–400 mesh | Integrated milling, larger storage, automation and maintenance planning | Large plants and centralized FGD powder supply |
| Higher feed moisture | Evaluate LM Vertical Mill first | As process required | Hot gas conditions, drying capacity, sealing and dust collection | Wet limestone sources or variable feed moisture |
Feed size, CaCO₃ content, hardness and moisture are considered before the crushing and milling system is defined.
Uniform feeding, adjustable classification and negative-pressure collection support consistent finished-powder quality.
Maintenance access, lifting space and wear-part replacement routes are considered in the layout from the start.
Finished silo capacity, bulk loading, pneumatic conveying and slurry-preparation interfaces are planned as one system.
Before launch, replace this placeholder with an authorized project reference including feed material, product fineness, equipment configuration, commissioning date, site photos and public operating data.

A common target range is 200–325 mesh, but required fineness, residue and particle-size distribution depend on the specific wet FGD, dry FGD or in-furnace desulfurization process. Confirm the final powder specification at the start of the project.
LM vertical mills are commonly evaluated first for large, continuous and centralized powder supply projects. MTW European mills are often suitable for small-to-medium capacities, retrofit projects and flexible powder production. Feed moisture, capacity, site conditions, budget and maintenance plan should all be considered.
The feed size must be within the allowable range of the selected mill. The crushing stage should be chosen according to maximum raw-stone size and mill requirements, with screening, iron removal and buffer storage considered where needed.
Evaluate moisture variation, available hot gas and final product moisture requirements. LM vertical mill systems can combine drying and grinding functions; other systems may require pre-drying or adjusted air-system design depending on site conditions.
A complete line can include raw material receiving and feeding equipment, crushers, elevators and conveyors, storage silos, the grinding mill, classifier and dust collection system, fans, finished-powder silos, bulk loading or pneumatic conveying equipment and electrical controls.
Stable output depends on uniform feeding, appropriate grinding and classification settings, reliable air-volume control, regular wear-part inspection and management of feed-size and moisture variation.
Yes. Feeding, mill operation, fans, dust collection, material levels and finished-powder conveying can be integrated into interlocks, monitoring and data-collection functions for continuous operation and fault alerts.
Finished powder is generally stored in silos and transferred by bulk loading, screw conveying, bucket elevators or pneumatic conveying. Silo capacity, conveying distance, supply rhythm and anti-moisture or anti-bridging requirements should be clarified during design.
Please provide limestone type and test data, maximum feed size, moisture, target fineness, hourly or annual capacity, operating schedule, site layout or building dimensions, electrical conditions and required finished-powder storage and delivery method.
