Garnet is ground to a variety of sizes to be used as an abrasive. Garnet sandpaper was the original appliion of this mineral. It is also used to make a number of similar products, including sanding belts, discs, and strips. Today, the vast majority of garnet is used as an abrasive blasting material, for water filtration, in a process called water jet cutting, and to make abrasive powders. A number of natural and synthetic materials could be used in place of garnet for abrasive purposes. The natural materials include the minerals staurolite, quartz, diamond and corundum. The synthetic materials include fused aluminum oxide and silicon carbide.

Only iron garnet, almandine and to a lesser extent, glosularite are used in the manufacture of abrasive like coated garnet paper and cloth and discs glued with sodium silie. The common bonding materials used for the manufacture of discs are magnesium oxide and magnesium chloride. Garnet is crushed, sieved and graded into various sizes and thus coated abrasives of various fineness are prepared. Garnet abrasives are used mostly for wood polishing. Finer grains of micron sizes are used as tumbling chemicals, grits for optical glass polishing and also ceramics and glasses. In modern practice, broken garnet pieces are preheated to a temperature varying from 700° to 1000°C before crushing to various grain sizes. It is reported that the toughness, fracture and colour of the garnet is improved on heating and quenching.

Garnet crusher is manufactured by Zenith applied for crushing garnet ore. Garnet crusher is also called garnet crushing machine. As the garnet’s appliion in industry you should use our garnet crusher and garnet grinding mill. When you get the primary stone of garnet, it is always in different types of big block, so the garnet need to be crushed sieved and graded into various sizes and thus coated abrasives of various fineness are prepared. In the process you may be use the jaw garnet crusher, impact garnet crusher, cone garnet crusher, vsi garnet crusher, mobile garnet crusher, etc.

Garnet grinding mill is also known as garnet grinding machine. Garnet grinding mill is the grinding mill that Zenith designed specially for garnet ore. zenith garnet grinding machine is widely used in area like metallurgy, building materials, chemicals, mining minerals in areas such as grinding materials processing. Zenith garnet grinding mill has excellent performance in garnet grinding. What’s more, Zenith grinding mill also do well in grinding stones such as dolomite, gypsum, marble, dolomite, coal, iron ore, bauxite, copper ore, gold ore, gold ore and granite, etc. Zenith grinding machine has six series: trapezium garnet grinding mill, high pressure garnet grinding mill, ball garnet grinding mill, coarse garnet powder grinding mill, vertical garnet grinding mill, Raymond garnet grinding mill and supper thin garnet grinding mill.
