Bentonite Binder for Iron Ore Pelletizing
Bentonite is a key binder in iron ore pelletizing, used to convert fine iron ore particles into strong, uniform pellets for efficient blast furnace and direct reduction processes. Its binding properties ensure the mechanical strength and durability of green and fired pellets.
Iron Ore Pelletizing Binder
Soda-ash treated bentonite binder engineered for high swelling capacity — for stronger green and fired iron ore pellets at lower addition rates.

- Immediate drop-number improvement at 1.2% addition
- Low silica percentage improves yield and TFe%
- High swelling capacity for strong green and dry compressive strength
Sourced and Processed for Export-Grade Consistency
Pellet-Maker™ is processed from Amrfeo’s own Kutch, Gujarat bentonite reserves under ISO 9001:2015 quality systems, with Star Export House-backed logistics from Mundra and Kandla ports. For iron ore pelletizing plants and binder distributors sourcing pelletizing-grade bentonite internationally, that means a traceable, quality-controlled supply chain rather than a variable commodity spot-buy.
Frequently Asked Questions
Pellet-Maker™ is a binder additive for iron ore fines pelletizing, forming green and fired pellets for blast furnace and direct reduction (DRI) feed.
As low as 1.2% by weight delivers an immediate improvement in drop number compared with untreated binder dosing.
Soda-ash treatment raises the bentonite's swelling capacity and montmorillonite activity, giving both green (wet) and dry compressive strength with strong binding force.
Its low silica percentage means less inert material dilutes the ore charge, so yield and TFe% typically improve versus higher-silica binders at the same addition rate.
90% passes through 200 mesh, giving a large reactive surface area for fast, even binding across the ore fines.
Yes — it's a drop-in binder for standard balling drum and disc pelletizers; only the dosing rate needs adjusting against your current binder addition.
