Global Calcium Carbonate Plant Solution Provider
A calcium carbonate plant is producing calcium carbonate products through physical methods or chemical reactions. A calcium carbonate plant is primarily classified into two categories: GCC plant and PCC plant. A GCC plant produces its product by grinding raw materials. It has a simple process, low energy consumption, and low investment. A PCC plant produces its product through calcination, hydration, and carbonation. It has a complex manufacturing process. Constructing a calcium carbonate plant can meet the needs of industries such as plastics, papermaking, coatings, and rubber.
What AGICO can offer you
AGICO can offer complete calcium carbonate plant solutions. This includes the industrial design of both the GCC plant and the PCC plant production lines. All equipment required for the production line can be custom-manufactured. Whether establishing a new production line or retrofitting a production line, AGICO can help customers achieve stable production.
The Two Major Types of Calcium Carbonate Processing Plants
The PCC plant produces calcium carbonate through chemical means. First, the raw materials are calcined at high temperature to produce quicklime. Finally, the carbonization reaction. The particle size, crystal form, and purity of precipitated calcium carbonate can be controlled through crafts.
- Features: Product performance is highly controllable. Complex manufacturing process. High product quality.
- Applicable Raw Materials: limestone
- Application:
Papermaking: Precipitated calcium carbonate can improve the whiteness and printability of paper.
Plastic: Precipitated calcium carbonate can improve the surface gloss and stability of plastic products.
Medicine: Precipitated calcium carbonate can be used as a calcium supplement. It can also be added to toothpaste.
- Core Equipment List:
Limestone crusher, vertical lime kiln, limestone rotary kiln, lime slaker, dust collector.
GCC Plant is use physical grinding method to production of calcium carbonate. The limestone, marble, and calcite are processed through crushing and grinding into the required powder. It does not change the chemical structure of calcium carbonate. The process is simple, and the energy consumption and investment are lower than those of a PCC plant.
- Features: The process is simple. Low investment. Low energy consumption. Strong environmental performance.
- Applicable Raw Materials: Limestone, Marble, and Calcite.
- Application:
Paint: Ground calcium carbonate can improve whiteness and abrasion resistance.
Rubber: Ground calcium carbonate can improve the hardness, wear resistance, and tear resistance of rubber products.
Glass: Ground calcium carbonate can improve the chemical stability of glass.

Key Factors for Constructing a Calcium Carbonate Production Line
- Choosing Between a PCC Plant and a GCC Plant:
Before building the calcium carbonate production line, you need select PCC plant or GCC plant according to market and product positioning.
PCC Plant: If your customers are in industries such as papermaking, food, pharmaceuticals, or coatings. They need high-purity and controllable particle size products. And the area has abundant limestone resources. PCC plant is the ideal choice.
GCC Plant: The GCC plant has high electricity requirements. It is suitable for large-scale, low-cost production. If your customers are in the fields of plastic fillers, coatings, and construction. GCC plant is the ideal choice.
- Site Selection and Layout:
Reasonable site selection and layout of calcium carbonate production lines can effectively reduce operating costs.
Proximity to raw materials reduces raw material transportation costs.
It has a stable water and electricity supply.
Ensure the shortest path between each area.
Reserve space for future expansion.
- Environmental Treatment:
All crushing, grinding, and packaging stages of the calcium carbonate production line must be equipped with baghouse dust collectors. Ensure that workshop emissions meet national standards. Soundproofing treatment for high-decibel grinding machines. PCC plants should be equipped with carbon dioxide purification systems. The waste gas generated by the lime kiln is converted into production raw materials.
- Automated Control System:
The automated control system for the calcium carbonate production line ensures product quality stability. Reduce energy consumption and labor costs. You need to choose between DCS or PLC.
