Perlite is a kind of volcanic eruption acid lava, vitreous rock formed by rapid cooling. Perlite ore is a raw ore product made by crushing and screening perlite ore. Various specifications of perlite products can be made according to the needs of customers.
Raw ore (crushing, drying)→coarse crushing 21mm~40mm(grinding)→medium crushing 5mm(grinding, sieving)→fine crushing 20 mesh~50 mesh (screening)→50~70 mesh~90 mesh~120 mesh ~200 mesh→bagging (grading)

The industrial value of perlite raw materials is mainly determined by their expansion ratio and product bulk density after high-temperature roasting.
1. Expansion multiple k0>5~15 times
2. Bulk density≤80kg/m3~200 kg/m3
The raw perlite sand is finely pulverized and ultra-finely pulverized, and can be used as a filler in rubber and plastic products, pigments, paints, inks, synthetic glass, heat-insulating bakelite, and some mechanical components and equipment.
