Perlite production equipment

SITIX offers “turn-key” industrial complexes for perlite production:

Production plants

Foamed perlite production units

Foamed perlite production process

  1. Raw perlite is supplied in big-bags and is blown into the tank for raw perlite storage via filling line.
  2. Through the weigh hopper, perlite sand gets into the distributor, from which it is delivered to the . expansion burner.
  3. In the burner, the crushed perlite is shortly affected by temperatures over 1000°С and becomes plastic; the water contained in the perlite evaporates. Thermal process makes the material expand by 15-20 times as compared to the initial volume; bulk density reaches 50-120 kg/m³.
  4. The airflow carries the foamed perlite from the burner to the cyclone. where perlite is separated from the airflow and passes through the cooler, where its temperature reduces approximately to 100°C. Then, perlite is released through a rotary valve.
  5. The foamed perlite is transported either pneumatically or mechanically (with belt system, screw conveyor or elevator).
