MANUFACTURING PROCESS

We manufacture Activated bleaching earth at our state of the art plant with the latest technology. The outcome of our advanced process is production of high performing wash clay with improved surface area.

Mined from high quality bentonite reserved in Gujarat, the selected bentonite lots are crushed to manageable lumps for further processing.

Granulation :

Crushed lumps are moved for granulating. Bentonite wet granules are converted from the lumps in granulation process. The quality is checked for batches ready for activation process.

Acid Activation :

The granulated wet granules are through activation process with acid. Activation and washing of clay takes place. The 10 hours of acid action of bentonite is flowed by washing of activated bentonite granules with water. Washing is a 12 hr. cycle that helps reduce acidity in output. The helps in better shelf life of vegetable oils. This activation process leaches out impurities and heavy metal while increasing the surface are of bentonite.

Neutralisation :

Spent acid/water is neutralized with lime in neutralization plant. The neutralized water after filtration and RO is reused again. While gypsum produced in process is supplied to cement industry.

Drying :

The acid activated bentonite granules thus produced is very wet and not fit for further use. It is dried in high capacity driers to reduce moisture making them good enough for further processing and packing.

Milling and Packing :

Milling and Packing of dry activated bleaching earth is carried out. Packing is with Paper, Jumbo Bags or in Bulker trucks which are directly supplied to oil refineries the end users of BENTON wash clay.
