Oyster shell is the hard outer protective layer that surrounds the soft tissue of oysters, a type of bivalve mollusk. The shell is made up of calcium carbonate and other minerals, and it is produced by the oyster to protect its soft body from predators, physical damage, and other environmental stressors.
Oyster shells are typically irregularly shaped and have a rough, scaly texture on the outside, while the inside is smooth and shiny.
They are commonly used for a variety of purposes, including as a decorative element in landscaping and gardening, and even as a material for crafting and art projects. Oyster shells are also a popular material for making jewelry and other accessories.
Oyster shell powder is a natural product made from finely ground oyster shells. Oyster shells are typically sourced from oyster farms or seafood processing plants, where they are a byproduct of the shucking and processing of oysters for consumption. The shells are cleaned, crushed, and ground into a fine powder.
Oyster shell powder is rich in calcium carbonate, which makes up the majority of the shell. Calcium carbonate is a natural source of calcium, a mineral that is essential for healthy bones and teeth.
Oyster shell powder is often used as a dietary supplement for people who need to increase their calcium intake, such as those who are lactose intolerant or who are at risk of osteoporosis.
In addition to its nutritional benefits, oyster shell powder is also used in a variety of other applications. It can be used as a soil amendment to raise the pH of acidic soil, as a natural abrasive in toothpaste or cleaning products, and as a filler in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals.
There are various types of machines available for processing oyster shells powder depending on the scale and capacity of the operation. Here are some of the most commonly used machines:
Hammer mill: A hammer mill is a machine that is used to crush or shred oyster shells into smaller pieces. The smaller pieces can then be further processed into oyster shell powder.
YGM series high pressure suspension grinding mill: YGM series high-pressure suspension grinding mill can grind oyster shell powder to 50-325 mesh.
CLRM series enhanced roller grinding mill: CLRM series enhanced roller grinding mill can grind oyster shell powder to 80-500 mesh.
HGM series ultrafine powder grinding mill: HGM series ultrafine powder grinding mill can grind oyster shell powder to 150-2500 mesh.
CLUM series ultrafine vertical roller mill: CLUM series ultrafine vertical roller mill can grind oyster shell powder to 600-3000 mesh.
Ball mill: A ball mill is a type of grinder that is used to grind and blend materials for use in mineral dressing processes, paints, pyrotechnics, ceramics, and selective laser sintering. A ball mill can be used to grind oyster shells into fine powder.
