High-Purity Silica Sand Supplier in Bharuch, Gujarat
Gujarat Minerals supplies ultra-low iron silica sand tailored specifically for solar PV glass and float glass melting furnaces in Jhagadia and Dahej. Triple-washed through high-intensity magnetic separators and desliming hydrocyclones to maintain Fe2O3 consistently below 184–300 ppm for maximum solar optical transmittance.
Industrial Cluster Overview: Jhagadia GIDC, Dahej PCPIR & Ankleshwar Industrial Zone
Bharuch and Dahej host India's largest glass manufacturing complexes, including solar glass pioneer Borosil Renewables and multinational float glass producers. These high-tonnage furnaces operate 24/7 for 15+ years continuously, making iron oxide stability and consistent batch grain size distribution paramount.

Frequently Asked Questions: Bharuch Supply
What iron oxide (Fe2O3) level can Gujarat Minerals guarantee for Bharuch glass plants?
Our solar-grade silica sand delivers certified Fe2O3 between 184 ppm (0.0184%) and 300 ppm (0.030%), with high-intensity rare-earth magnetic separation and XRF lot verification accompanying every consignment.
What is the delivery capacity for large continuous float glass furnaces in Jhagadia GIDC?
We can supply up to 300 MT/day in scheduled multi-axle tippers and closed bulker tankers to maintain uninterrupted furnace feed silos at Jhagadia.
How is grain size controlled to prevent unmelted silica stones in the glass melt?
Our sizing screen decks eliminate oversize grains (+30 mesh) that take too long to melt, while removing ultrafines (-140 mesh) that can cause batch dusting and refractory crown corrosion inside regenerative furnaces.
