With over 500 operating foundries across Shapar-Veraval, Aji, and Metoda, Rajkot is one of Asia's most concentrated gray iron casting clusters. High pouring volumes demand dependable daily supply with consistent grain fineness number (GFN) to avoid mold thermal distortion during heavy iron casting.

Solving Key Technical & Foundry Challenges in Rajkot
Heavy CNC machine beds poured in Shapar-Veraval often weigh several tons and remain molten for extended periods, causing severe scabbing when inferior sand vitrifies prematurely. Our high sintering point (>1650°C) and low thermal expansion prevent scabbing and mold wall dilation.

Frequently Asked Questions: Rajkot Supply
How fast can Gujarat Minerals deliver bulk silica sand to Shapar-Veraval or Metoda GIDC?
Because our main mineral reserves and hydrocyclone processing plants are located in Bhuj-Kutch (220 km away), we offer same-day or within 8-hour delivery using dedicated 25 MT and 40 MT pneumatic and open tippers.
Which grain size is recommended for Rajkot diesel engine and tractor part foundries?
For diesel engine blocks and agricultural tractor parts, AFS 45-52 with low clay content (<0.18%) is our most popular specification, providing an optimal balance between mold permeability (110-130) and smooth cast surface finish.
Can Rajkot foundries inspect the Kutch processing plant before placing bulk orders?
Absolutely. We actively welcome foundry technical heads and purchase managers to visit our Madhapar washing and grading facility to inspect raw deposit veins, hydrocyclone washing batteries, rotary dryers, and on-site lab testing equipment.
