Shaft Calcined Bauxite Powder 200 Mesh

What Is Shaft Calcined Bauxite Powder?

▸ Shaft calcined bauxite powder is produced by calcining high‑grade raw bauxite in a vertical shaft kiln, followed by precise grinding and classification to a nominal 200 mesh (≤75 µm). This fine powder retains the high alumina content and refractoriness of the base material, making it an excellent filler and matrix component in refractory castables, gunning mixes, repair mortars, and ceramic bodies.

Why Choose SEPPE Shaft Kiln Calcination for Bauxite Powder

▸ The shaft kiln method delivers cost‑effective base material for fine grinding, ideal for high‑volume powder users:

  • Consistent Feedstock — stable calcination ensures uniform grindability and consistent particle size distribution after milling.

  • Cost Advantage — lower energy costs in shaft kilns translate to competitive powder pricing for large‑scale refractory plants.

  • High Purity Retention — carefully controlled calcination preserves alumina content, resulting in a powder with excellent refractory performance.

  • Reliable Supply — integrated mining, calcining and grinding operations guarantee long‑term availability of 200 mesh powder.

Quality Control & Laboratory Testing

▸ XRF Chemical Analysis — every batch tested for Al₂O₃, Fe₂O₃, TiO₂, CaO, MgO


▸ Particle Size Distribution — laser diffraction analysis to verify 200 mesh cut (D50 ≤45 µm)


▸ True Density Measurement — helium pycnometer method to confirm ≥3.70 g/cm³


▸ Moisture Content — controlled drying and monitoring to keep moisture ≤0.5%


▸ Batch Traceability — full documentation from raw ore source to finished powder shipment

Key Benefits

▸ Ultra‑Fine Grind — nominal 200 mesh particle size improves packing density and reactivity in castable matrices.


▸ High Alumina Content — available from 75% to 90% Al₂O₃ to tailor the refractoriness and slag resistance of your formulation.


▸ Low Impurity Levels — carefully controlled Fe₂O₃, alkali and moisture levels minimise detrimental reactions at high temperatures.


▸ Excellent Workability — fine powder easily disperses in water or binder systems, improving the rheology of castables and mortars.


▸ Versatile Applications — suitable for a wide range of monolithic refractories, repair mixes, and ceramic bodies.

Typical Applications

▸ Typical uses: refractory castables and gunning mixes, repair mortars, ramming masses, foundry coatings, ceramic kiln furniture, and as a filler in high‑temperature adhesives.

FAQ

❓ What is bauxite powder used for?

▸ It is mainly used as a fine filler and matrix component in refractory castables, gunning mixes, repair mortars, foundry coatings, and high‑temperature ceramics.

❓ How do you ensure the powder is consistently 200 mesh?

▸ We use air classifiers and laser particle size analysers. Each batch is checked for top size (≤75 µm) and median particle size (D50 ~40‑45 µm).

❓ Can you supply finer or coarser powders?

▸ Yes. In addition to 200 mesh, we offer 325 mesh and custom micronised grades upon request.

❓ Is the powder calcined in a shaft kiln suitable for high‑alumina castables?

▸ Absolutely. With alumina contents up to 90% and high true density, it provides excellent hot strength and slag resistance in castables.

❓ How do you prevent caking during transport?

▸ The powder is dried to ≤0.5% moisture and packed in moisture‑resistant bags. For long‑distance shipping, we can add pallet wrapping and desiccants.

❓ Do you provide samples and technical documents?

▸ Yes. Free samples for lab evaluation, TDS, SDS and SGS reports are available upon request.
