What is Mineral Casting?
Mineral casting, also known as synthetic marble or epoxy granite, is a high-performance composite material widely used in the production systems of epoxy granite mixers and polymer concrete mixers. It is mainly composed of natural minerals (quartz sand, crushed stone, etc.), mineral fillers, and epoxy resin or polymer binders. Through vibration compaction and curing, a high filler structure (filler content up to 90% or more) is formed. Due to its high damping, high stability, and high precision characteristics, mineral casting has become the core material foundation for high-end equipment manufacturing (such as machine bed casting mixing equipment applications).
Mineral Casting Manufacturing Process
Mixing Core Step
Mixing is the most critical step in mineral casting. Professional mineral casting mixers are typically used, including:
In high-performance polymer concrete mixers or epoxy granite mixers, the following can be achieved:
Ensuring uniform mixing of all raw materials (sand, filler, binder, etc.). Mixing time must be appropriate; too short results in uneven mixing, affecting subsequent casting quality.
Application Fields of Mineral Casting Mixers
Mineral casting mixers are widely used across multiple high-end industrial fields:
Machinery Manufacturing
Used for key structural parts such as machine beds, columns, and bases — a typical application of machine bed casting mixing equipment.
New Energy & Lithium Battery
Extensively adopted for the fabrication of precision equipment bases for lithium battery rolling mills, coating machines and slitting machines. Mineral castings processed by this mixer deliver high density, minimal deformation and superior vibration resistance, fully satisfying the high-precision operational requirements of lithium battery production lines
Comparison of Core Parameters for Two Mixing Processes
Core parameter differences between CO-NELE planetary mineral casting mixer and high‑intensity mineral casting mixer for mineral casting mixing are as follows (tailored to casting production requirements and precisely matched to the two models):
