Heat transfer Foundry chromite sand

Foundry Chromite sand is used as a highly fireproof sharpener for moulds and cores. Originally from South Africa. The sand is produced by crushing chrome ore and its washing in spiral concentrators, subsequent drying, dust cleaning, screening and sorting as per grain size.

We import crushing Chrome ore from South Africa,wash,dry ,dust cleaning,sieve and pack in China port,then export to all over the world directly.

Chromite Sand in the foundry industry

Its properties enable the material to be used in high duty grey iron and steel foundries as core and mould making sand. Its high thermal conductivity gives it good chilling properties, low thermal expansion gives rise to good dimensional stability. Its basicity being close to neutral allows the use of a wide range of resin bonding systems and inorganic binders, it has a high refractoriness and a broad sieve distribution.

Chromite Sand in the steel industry

In steel production, Chromite Sand is used as well filler for protection of the sliding gate in large steel holding ladles.

Chromite Sand in the glass industry

When ground to a fine flour, Chromite Sand is used for the production of green glass beverage containers.
