SEPPE BAUXITE
25083000
▸ Cost-effective shaft calcined bauxite grit, engineered for refractory brick manufacturing and high‑temperature aggregate applications.
★ Al₂O₃ 75‑90% ★ Bulk Density 2.80‑3.25 g/cm³
★ Hardness 7.5‑9.0 Mohs ★ Low Impurities
▸ Shaft calcined bauxite grit is produced by calcining high‑grade raw bauxite in a vertical shaft kiln at temperatures around 1500‑1600°C. The calcined material is then crushed, screened and precisely graded to produce angular, hard‑wearing grit. It is a cost‑effective aggregate widely used in refractory brick production, castables and other high‑temperature applications where a consistent, reliable filler is required.
▸ The shaft kiln method offers distinct advantages for refractory brick grit production:
Cost‑Effective Production — lower energy consumption and higher throughput reduce the cost per ton, making this an economical choice for large‑scale brick plants.
Consistent Grit Quality — strict process control delivers stable chemistry and angular particle shape, essential for good bonding and compaction in pressed bricks.
Good Density & Hardness — bulk density up to 3.25 g/cm³ and Mohs hardness 7.5‑9.0 ensure wear resistance and structural integrity in finished refractories.
Wide Availability — produced in large volumes with stable supply, ideal for long‑term bulk contracts for brick manufacturers.
▸ XRF Chemical Analysis — every batch tested for Al₂O₃, Fe₂O₃, TiO₂, CaO, MgO, SiO₂ content
▸ Bulk Density Measurement — pycnometer method to verify specified density range
▸ Particle Size Distribution — laser diffraction and sieve analysis for accurate grit grading
▸ Magnetic Separation Inspection — removal of iron contamination to meet premium specifications
▸ Batch Traceability — full documentation from raw ore source to shipping container

▸ Yes. It is widely used in fireclay, medium‑alumina and high‑alumina bricks. The grit’s angular shape and consistent chemistry improve compaction and final brick strength.
▸ Typical fractions are 0‑1mm, 1‑3mm and 3‑5mm. We can also supply custom blends to match your specific pressing parameters.
▸ Shaft kiln bauxite offers a lower cost per ton and still delivers good density (2.80‑3.25 g/cm³) and refractoriness. Rotary kiln material provides slightly higher density and uniformity. Shaft kiln is an excellent choice for standard brick applications.
▸ Absolutely. Our standard range covers 75% to 90% Al₂O₃. Specific grades like 80%, 85% or 88% can be selected based on your application.
▸ Yes. With our own mining and processing facilities, we can guarantee stable supply and consistent quality for annual or multi‑year contracts.
▸ Yes. Free samples for lab evaluation, together with TDS, SDS and SGS test reports, are available upon request.
