Jaya Bharath Refractories Vellakkalpatty, Salem, Tamil Nadu

Jaya Bharath Refractories is a Indian industry involved in the processing of the industrial mineral Olivine, and in the production of basic refractory mixes. The company produces a wide range of graded olivine products such as slag conditioner, EBT taphole filler sand, foundry sand, sandblasting media and raw material for the refractory industry. Jaya Bharath Refractories also manufactures refractory mixes mostly for the metallurgical industry but also for the mortar and glass industry, such as tundish unshaped refractories (for ramming, gunning).
EBT filler sand
Thermo Tap hole is produced from selected mineral olivine, a refractory mineral with high percentage of fosterite content and high refractoriness. As a result of long experience and cooperation with the steel making industry, Jaya Bharath Refractories offers optimised grain size distributions that guarantee free and easy opening of the EBT in Electric Arc Furnaces. Standard production of EBT filler sand is 1-6mm, 2-6mm and 3-8mm.
Slag Conditioner
In electric arc furnace (EAF) applications, olivine when introduced as a slag conditioner promotes the development of excellent artificial foamy slag and successfully balances viscosity and volume for efficient sulphur removal and electrode protection.
Olivine is more consistent in quality and aggregate size than calcinated materials and shows uniform dissolution during a heat.Standard production of Thermo slag conditioner is 10-40mm.
Olivine Sand as Foundry Sand
Olivine is a valuable raw material for use in Foundries as Foundry sand for mould construction in both ferrous and non-ferrous metal casting.
Foundry sand from Olivine has an uniform low thermal expansion (0,8% at 1300 ˚C) resulting in better casting accuracy and smoother surface. Its high heat absorption and conductivity, along with its grain shape which leads to optimal porosity, help degasing during casting. Olivine is compatible with non-organic binders such as Betonite, demands small quantity of water and is suitable for use in alkaline resin bonded system
Furthermore Olivine, not containing free silica, contributes to provide a high standard work environment for the workers and a high health and safety performance for the foundry.
Sandblasting
Olivine is a dynamic natural mineral abrasive. Having a hardness between 6.5 and 7.0 mohs, it is suitable for restoring aluminum, fiberglass, marble/stone facades and wood as well as cleaning and providing a medium profile on steel. It is particularly suitable for wet-blasting abrasive systems, creating a high performance and high economy slurry blast mixture. Olivine also has the advantage of reduced disposal concerns in some cases.
