Overview

The magnesium source the steel industry trusts.

Dolomite — CaMg(CO3)2 — is the preferred flux material wherever both calcium and magnesium are needed. VAMM's dolomite is mined from the Birmitrapur belt of Odisha, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh, guaranteeing MgO content of 18-22% and CaO of 28-32%.

We supply lumps at five size fractions — from 0-10mm fines for powder grinding up to 80-150mm for blast-furnace flux. Sintered dolomite (dead-burnt) is also available for refractory applications.

Movement by rake to steel plants, and by truck to cement kilns and glass batch houses.

Dolomite
Applications

Where dolomite goes.

Steel Flux

Basic flux in blast furnaces and basic oxygen furnaces — forms slag with silica and alumina impurities.

Glass Batch

Essential magnesium input in container and float glass — improves durability and chemical resistance.

Refractory Bricks

Dead-burnt dolomite for basic refractories lining steel converters, kilns and high-temperature vessels.

Cement Clinker

Magnesium-bearing raw material in special clinker compositions and magnesium-rich Portland cement.

Agricultural Lime

Magnesium-calcium soil corrector — preferred over pure limestone for Mg-deficient soils.

Construction

Decorative-stone aggregate, terrazzo chips, and architectural concrete applications.

Variants

Five size fractions, one consistent chemistry.

0-10mm

Dolomite Fines

Small-fraction feed for grinding to powder, agricultural lime and flue-gas desulphurisation.

MgO 18%+
10-25mm

Mid-Grade Chips

Glass batch feed and mid-size cement kiln charge — consistent grade, easy handling.

MgO 19%+
25-50mm

Standard Lumps

Steel flux lumps — the workhorse grade for BOF and blast-furnace steel operations.

MgO 20%+
50-80mm

Large Lumps

Direct BF-charge material — larger lumps allow gas permeability through the burden stack.

MgO 20%+
80-150mm

Oversize

For plants that crush on-site — lowest delivered cost per tonne for bulk orders.

MgO 18-22%

Dead-Burnt

Sintered refractory-grade dolomite — MgO 35%+ after calcination, for basic refractories.

Quality & Certifications

Per-rake chemistry confirmed.

Every rake tested for MgO, CaO, SiO2, Fe2O3, Al2O3 and LOI before dispatch. Dead-burnt grades additionally tested for bulk density, apparent porosity and refractoriness.

Size distribution verified by sieve analysis — contracted fraction delivered ±5% by mass.

Why VAMM Dolomite

Six reasons steelmakers return.

01

Consistent MgO

MgO 18-22% guaranteed — critical for predictable steel slag chemistry.

02

Five Size Fractions

From 0-10mm to 80-150mm — in-house crushing and screening to your contracted size.

03

Low Silica

SiO2 under 2% on standard grades — reduces unwanted slag bulk in BOF operations.

04

Dead-Burnt Option

Sintered refractory-grade dolomite available — a one-stop-shop for BOF and LD converter customers.

05

Rake Dispatch

Mine-to-plant rail rake movements — no intermediate handling, no size degradation.

06

Low LOI

Loss-on-ignition below 45% — tighter than industry norm, less fuel burn at the kiln.
