Products and services

• Patented New Material Forged Grinding Steel Balls Wear-resistant forged grinding steel balls made from HM series wear-resistant alloy steel, diameter Ø20–150mm, designed for ball mills and SAG mills in metal mining and cement processing. Reduces ball consumption per ton of ore by 20–30% versus cast alternatives.
• Heat-Treated Grinding Rods Heat-treated steel grinding rods Ø40–120mm in lengths of 2–6m with HRC48–55 hardness, used in rod mills for coal chemical, silicon mine, aluminum mine, and other mineral processing operations. HM new material and patented heat treatment extend service life.
• Casting Iron Balls Cast iron grinding balls Ø17–120mm in three grades: high chromium (≥10% Cr, HRC≥58), medium chromium (3.0–7.0% Cr, HRC≥47), and low chromium (0.5–2.5% Cr, HRC≥45). Sold to mines, cement plants, power plants, and chemical industries.
• Forged Cylpebs Forged cylpebs sized Ø20mm×30mm to Ø50mm×60mm, supplied to mines, cement plants, and power plants for fine grinding applications.
• Mill Liners Wear-resistant mill liners for ball mills, sold alongside grinding media to mining and cement customers.
• Rotary Cutting Grinding Ball Automatic Production Line Patented automatic production line for rotary cutting grinding balls Ø20–90mm, sold to metal mining, coal chemical, and power industry manufacturers.
• Patented Heat-Treated Steel Grinding Rod Automatic Production Line Patented automatic production line for heat-treated steel grinding rods Ø40–150mm in custom lengths, supplied to mineral processors handling coal water slurry, quartz sand, silica sand, and bauxite.
