China's first high-pressure roller mill off the assembly line
China's first high-pressure roller mill has been successfully developed and manufactured by CITIC Heavy Machinery, marking a significant milestone in the localization of advanced metallurgical grinding technology. This breakthrough represents the country's first domestically produced high-pressure roller mill, which is now equipped with full independent intellectual property rights. The achievement is expected to enhance China's competitiveness in the global mining and metallurgy industry.
The high-pressure roller mill, designed for fine grinding of iron concentrate and pellet preparation, was initially introduced in European countries at the beginning of this century. For many years, only two German models were available in China, limiting domestic access to this cutting-edge technology. Now, with CITIC Heavy Machinery's successful development, China has taken a major step toward self-reliance in this critical equipment.
The newly developed roller mill features a roller diameter of 1.2 meters and can process up to 180 tons of ore per hour, significantly improving efficiency and reducing energy consumption. It has already been deployed in the pellet milling project of the Changzhi Iron and Steel Group’s Sintering Plant. According to reports, this implementation is expected to cut steelmaking costs by over 10 million yuan annually for the company.
CITIC Heavy Machinery has applied for national patents for the technology, signaling its commitment to protecting and promoting this innovation. Looking ahead, the company plans to expand the use of this product across the domestic metallurgical market, aiming to replace imported alternatives and support the growth of China’s heavy industrial sector.
This development not only highlights the technological advancement of Chinese manufacturers but also reflects the nation’s growing confidence in developing world-class machinery independently. As the demand for efficient and sustainable mineral processing solutions continues to rise, the success of this high-pressure roller mill sets a strong foundation for future innovations in the industry.
