Chromite sand 20-60# 20-70#
Description for chromite sand:
Chromite sand, with its main chemical component Cr2O3, and boasts thermal stability, high thermal conductivity, and excellent resistance to alkali slag. So it prevents metal penetration and sand sticking, making it ideal for various stainless steel, alloy steel, and carbon steel core-making applications.

Production Flow for chromite sand:
- Step 1
Raw material preparation: chromite ore, already crushed into powder in South Africa, undergoes water washing to screen particle size, eliminating impurities and mud.
- Step 2
Drying step: the washed raw material is dried to remove moisture.
- Step 3
Particle sizing: The dried material is then passed through a vibrating sieve to attain the desired particle size required by customers.
- Step 4
Magnetic separation: Sieved particles undergo magnetic separation to remove iron and silicon. Post-separation, chromite content reaches above 46%, while silicon content remains below 1%.
