　　Huawai Intelligent Equipment's independently developed high-pressure roller mill has achieved large-scale industrial application in the Xinjiang ilmenite beneficiation project, becoming a "technical benchmark" in the mining crushing process due to its significant energy-saving and consumption-reducing advantages. Meanwhile, the equipment has recently been successfully exported to Southeast Asian markets such as Malaysia and the Philippines, marking a continuous improvement in the competitiveness of my country's high-end mining equipment in the international market.

I. Xinjiang Ilmenite: Industrial Application Verifies Technological Strength

Xinjiang, as an important ilmenite resource-rich area in my country, has ilmenite deposits characterized by high ore hardness, fine particle size, and high separation difficulty. Traditional crushing processes suffer from high energy consumption, low efficiency, and rapid equipment wear. The successful application of high-pressure roller mills provides a breakthrough solution to this problem.

Currently, several high-pressure roller mills are operating stably in Xinjiang ilmenite beneficiation plants. Statistical analysis of measured data from the crushing process shows that the overall power consumption of the equipment has been stably controlled at ≤3kWh/ton of ore, a reduction of 40%-60% compared to the traditional "two-stage crushing" process of jaw crusher + cone crusher (power consumption generally 5-8kWh/ton of ore).

Furthermore, the high-pressure roller mill utilizes a layered crushing principle, inducing micro-cracks in the ore, significantly improving the efficiency of subsequent grinding stages. This increases the mill's processing capacity by approximately 15%-20%, further reducing overall energy consumption.

After the equipment was put into operation, the company's annual comprehensive energy consumption in its crushing workshop decreased by nearly 8 million yuan, not including reductions in equipment maintenance costs. The high-pressure roller mill's wear-resistant roller surface design, intelligent hydraulic system, and online monitoring function enable it to operate stably for over 10,000 hours, achieving industry-leading levels in both process indicators and economic efficiency.

III. Technological Iteration: Focusing on the Core Needs of Mines to "Reduce Costs and Increase Efficiency"

　　High-pressure roller mills, a new type of crushing equipment developed in the 1980s, are widely used in cement, metal mining, and other fields due to their high efficiency and energy saving characteristics. However, due to the large differences in mineral hardness and particle size distribution, different types of minerals have extremely high requirements for the adaptability of the equipment. Since the research and development of high-pressure roller mills began in 2004, continuous efforts have been made to tackle technical challenges in metal ore crushing, resulting in three core advantages:

PART.01 New Column Nail Roller Surface Technology

　　It uses high-quality cemented carbide pins, which are arranged in a way that is optimized by computer simulation to form a uniform material layer to protect the roller surface. It is installed with imported adhesive, which makes it highly wear-resistant and easy to replace.

PART.02 Upgrading of Intelligent Control Technology

　　Equipped with a self-developed "intelligent optimization system for crushing process", the crushing force and feed rate are dynamically adjusted by real-time monitoring of parameters such as roller gap, pressure, and motor power, ensuring that the equipment always operates in the optimal energy efficiency range.

PART.03 Process Adaptability Design

　　To address the multi-stage crushing requirements of ilmenite from coarse crushing to medium crushing to fine crushing, a closed-circuit crushing process of "high-pressure roller mill + screening" was developed, which increases the proportion of -3mm particles in the final product to over 85%, creating ideal feeding conditions for subsequent grinding operations.

IV. Southeast Asian Market: "Made in China" Accelerates Global Expansion

Following its success in the Xinjiang market, the technical reputation of Huatai Magnetoelectric's high-pressure roller mills has rapidly expanded overseas. In the first half of 2025, the company signed orders for multiple units with clients in Malaysia and the Philippines. The equipment has already arrived on-site and is currently undergoing installation and commissioning.

It is understood that Southeast Asia possesses abundant nickel and iron ore resources. In recent years, with the development of new energy and stainless steel industries, the demand for high-efficiency and energy-saving crushing equipment in the local mining industry has continued to grow. The high-pressure roller mills exported by Huatai Magnetoelectric Group this time have a single-unit processing capacity ranging from 180 to 300 tons/hour, suitable for mining projects of different sizes. Their comprehensive energy consumption is 15%-20% lower than similar imported equipment, while the price is only about 70% of imported equipment, demonstrating a significant cost-performance advantage.

V. Industry Outlook: Key Equipment for Green Mine Construction

With the advancement of global "dual carbon" goals, the mining industry faces increasingly stringent requirements for energy conservation and emission reduction. Data from the China Metallurgical Mining Enterprises Association shows that energy consumption in the crushing and grinding process accounts for 60%-70% of total energy consumption in mineral processing, making it the "main battlefield" for energy conservation in mines. High-pressure roller mills, as one of the most efficient and energy-efficient crushing devices known, have been included in policy documents such as the "Green Mine Construction Standards" and the "Catalogue of Comprehensive Utilization Technologies for Mineral Resources," becoming key equipment for green mine construction.

For Huawai, "From Xinjiang to Southeast Asia, our high-pressure roller mill is not just a piece of equipment, but also a microcosm of the 'technology export' of Chinese mining equipment. In the future, we will continue to increase our R&D investment in wear-resistant materials, intelligent control, and other fields, providing 'customized solutions' for different mineral characteristics worldwide, helping more mines achieve 'green transformation'."

Currently, it has been applied in more than 10 provinces in China and in several countries such as New Zealand, Malaysia, and South Africa, with cumulative sales exceeding 100 sets.

With its breakthrough in the Southeast Asian market, its global market footprint continues to expand, further demonstrating the rise of "Made in China 2025" in the high-end equipment sector.
