▸ Rotary calcined bauxite is produced by sintering high-grade raw bauxite in a rotary kiln at temperatures above 1600°C. This process yields a dense, hard, and chemically stable material with high alumina content and low impurities. It is a critical aggregate for refractory materials, providing the high-temperature strength, thermal shock resistance, and slag resistance needed in castables, bricks, gunning mixes, and other monolithic refractories. Available in precisely graded fractions, it ensures optimal packing density and consistent performance in demanding industrial furnaces and kilns.
▸ The rotary kiln method offers distinct advantages for refractory-grade bauxite:
Uniform Heat Distribution — every particle receives consistent thermal treatment, eliminating under-burned or over-burned material.
Higher Bulk Density — the tumbling action promotes densification, resulting in ≥ 3.10 g/cm³ grains that minimize porosity and slag penetration.
Improved Phase Stability — complete conversion to stable mullite and corundum phases ensures reliability up to 1770°C.
Lower Variability — batch-to-batch consistency that shaft kilns cannot match, essential for repeatable refractory formulations.
▸ XRF Chemical Analysis — every batch tested for Al₂O₃, Fe₂O₃, TiO₂, CaO, MgO
▸ Bulk Density & Porosity — ensures dense, low-porosity grains for long service life
▸ Particle Size Distribution — laser diffraction and sieve analysis for accurate 0-1mm, 1-3mm, 3-5mm fractions
▸ Magnetic Separation Inspection — removal of iron contamination
▸ Batch Traceability — full documentation from raw ore to shipment
