Aluminium oxide Abralox

Emery products are based on bauxite. After the melting process the material is milled and classified. Two techniques for grading are used:

  • Grading by means of vibratory sifter = MACRO GRAIN
  • Grading by means of sedimentation = MICRO GRAIN

Different follow-up treatments, e.g. removing of iron particles by magnets, calcinating etc., make different grades available for applications.
