Iron Ore Pelletizing Bentonite – Reliable Binder from India’s Leading Manufacturer
At Jetta Bentonite, we manufacture and export high-performance Iron Ore Pelletizing Grade Bentonite—a critical binding agent used in the agglomeration of iron ore fines into strong, uniform pellets for use in blast furnaces and direct reduction processes. Our bentonite is derived from high-purity sodium bentonite mines in Gujarat, India, and processed under strict quality control standards to meet the demanding specifications of pelletizing plants across the world.
As a Manufacturer, Supplier, and Exporter from India, we provide cost-effective, bulk-grade pelletizing bentonite that delivers exceptional mechanical and thermal stability to the iron ore pelletization process.
Global-Grade Bentonite for Iron & Steel Production
Iron ore pelletizing is a key stage in iron and steel manufacturing. Our bentonite plays a pivotal role by:
- Binding iron ore fines during the wet pelletizing process
- Improving green pellet formation, reducing breakage during transport and handling
- Enhancing dry and fired pellet strength, ensuring performance in high-temperature sintering
- Increasing plant productivity, with fewer rejections and higher yield
Whether you’re producing hematite-based or magnetite-based pellets, our product offers proven results with various ores and pelletizing systems.

FAQ
1. What is Iron Ore Pelletizing Bentonite used for?
Iron Ore Pelletizing Bentonite is used as a binding agent to agglomerate iron ore fines into strong, uniform pellets. It enhances green pellet strength and improves durability during drying, sintering, and transportation.
2. Why is bentonite preferred in pelletizing over other binders?
Bentonite, especially sodium-based bentonite, offers excellent swelling and bonding properties. It provides better green strength, thermal resistance, and sintering performance compared to synthetic or organic binders, while also being cost-effective and environmentally safe.
3. How much bentonite is typically used in iron ore pelletizing?
Generally, 0.5% to 1.0% bentonite is added by weight to iron ore fines during the pelletizing process. The exact dosage depends on the ore characteristics, plant setup, and pelletizing method used.
4. What are the key technical specifications of your pelletizing bentonite?
Our standard grade offers:
- Montmorillonite Content: > 85%
- Swelling Index: 24–28 ml/2g
- Moisture: ≤ 12%
- Fineness: 90% passing through 200 mesh
- LOI: 8–13%
Custom grades are also available on request.
5. Is your bentonite compatible with all types of pelletizing equipment?
Yes. Our bentonite is suitable for both disc pelletizers and drum pelletizers, and performs efficiently with hematite or magnetite ores.
6. Do you offer export support and global shipping?
Absolutely. We are an experienced exporter and provide complete export documentation, third-party inspection (if needed), and fast dispatch from major Indian ports like Mundra, Kandla, and Nhava Sheva.
7. Can you provide bentonite in bulk packaging?
Yes. We offer multiple packaging options including 25kg/50kg bags, 1 MT jumbo bags with liners, and custom bulk loading solutions as per your plant requirements.
8. How do you ensure product consistency and quality?
Our products are tested in-house at every stage—mining, processing, and packaging. We also support third-party testing (SGS, Intertek, etc.) to meet your technical standards and quality expectations.
