Alpine SO Super Orion
The Alpine Super Orion ball mill has been the mill of choice for years for manufacturing high-grade mineral powders. These legacy mills are still popular due to their low operating and maintenance costs. Alpine Super Orion ball mills ensure low low-wear and cost effective processing for a broad range of materials.

An important decision driver for using a ball mill as the principal size reduction machine is its enormous flexibility in the ultrafine range. With the AlpineSuper Orion ball mill, fine products such as paper fillers in coating quality (D80 = 2µm) as well as coarse fillers such as dolomite powder for bitumen fillers (D97 = 100µm) can be produced.

Even ultrafine mineral fillers are produced directly from the mill/classifier circuit. No additional secondary classification is required. This helps to avoid waste or coarse materials for which there is little market demand.

Typical Mineral Fillers Applications
  • Feldspar
  • Limestone, chalk, marble
  • Dolomite
  • Kaolin, calcined kaolin, bentonite
