Gypsum continues to be a critical mineral for construction, cement, agriculture, and chemical industries. With demand for high-quality powders on the rise, vertical roller mill (VRM) technology has become the preferred option for large-scale gypsum processing plants.

Key Advantages of VRMs

Unlike traditional grinding systems, vertical roller mills combine drying, grinding, and classification in one compact system. This integration simplifies process flow, lowers plant investment, and reduces long-term maintenance costs. For gypsum, VRMs can consistently produce powders from 200 to 400 mesh with uniform quality. Built-in classifiers ensure precise particle size control, crucial for plaster, wallboard, and cement formulations.

Efficient Drying and Grinding

Raw gypsum often contains free moisture. VRM systems incorporate hot air for simultaneous drying and grinding, eliminating the need for separate drying equipment. This saves both time and energy. The grinding process—where rollers compress material on a rotating table—ensures high efficiency, low vibration, and reduced power consumption compared to ball mills or older Raymond mills.

Environmental and Operational Benefits

VRMs also stand out for their clean operation. Enclosed design, negative pressure working conditions, and advanced dust collectors minimize emissions and help plants meet strict environmental standards. Automated control systems allow real-time adjustments and stable operation with minimal manual oversight.

Scalability for Industrial Needs

For producers requiring 10 to 100+ tons per hour, VRMs offer modular design and flexible capacity expansion. This scalability makes them particularly attractive for regions with strong demand for construction-grade gypsum powder.

Conclusion

By combining high efficiency, integrated drying and grinding, low energy use, and strong environmental performance, vertical roller mills provide the modern standard for gypsum powder production. For manufacturers seeking long-term competitiveness, VRM technology delivers both quality and sustainability.
