Chrome ore use 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.
Chromite Sand in the foundry industryIts properties enable the material to be used in high duty grey iron and steel foundries as core and mould making sand. Chromite Sand in the steel industryIn 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 industryWhen ground to a fine flour, Chromite Sand is used for the production of green glass beverage containers
