Reclaimed Foundry Sand for Construction & Civil Engineering Applications

RATHORE EXIM is an India-based exporter supplying reclaimed foundry sand and recycled foundry sand to international buyers seeking technically suitable, environmentally compliant, and performance-reliable sand materials. We supply processed foundry sand, graded foundry sand, and reclaimed silica sand suitable for bulk infrastructure use, engineered fill, and controlled blending applications, with a strong focus on quality consistency, tight tolerance, and documentation accuracy for global trade. Reclaimed foundry sand is a recycled silica-based material offering consistent grain size, controlled tolerance, and low impurity levels. Graded and clean reclaimed foundry sand is widely used in road base, embankment fill, flowable fill, and engineered fill applications where performance, compaction stability, and uniform gradation are required.

Product Overview: Reclaimed Foundry Sand

Consistent Grades | Controlled Size | International Compliance

Our reclaimed foundry sand is recovered and processed from used foundry sand streams and made suitable for secondary industrial and civil use through controlled cleaning, grading, and quality checks.

Depending on application requirements, we offer:

• Reclaimed molding sand and reclaimed casting sand

• Fine foundry sand and coarse foundry sand

• Uniform grain sand with minimal variation

• Low impurity sand with reduced organic residue and clay content

This material is widely accepted as an alternative to virgin sand in applications where flowability, compaction stability, and thermal performance are required.

Size Range and Gradation Control

Particle size consistency is critical for buyer performance expectations. We export controlled gradation sand in commonly specified ranges, including:

• Reclaimed foundry sand size 0–2 mm for fine blending and flowable fill

• Reclaimed foundry sand size 0–4 mm for structural and civil fill

• Fine grade reclaimed foundry sand for smooth compaction

• Coarse grade reclaimed foundry sand for load distribution

Each shipment is supplied as consistent foundry sand with documented gradation tolerance, ensuring predictable behavior during application.

Quality Parameters and Consistency Standards

International buyers rely on stable material characteristics across shipments. Our clean foundry sand offerings focus on:

• Uniform gradation and controlled particle size

• Low moisture reclaimed foundry sand for reduced handling issues

• Low clay content and low organic residue

• High silica content where required

• Minimal variation across lots

These parameters support use as construction grade foundry sand, civil grade foundry sand, and industrial reclaimed sand.

Technical Suitability and Performance Expectations

Our reclaimed foundry sand is evaluated for functional performance rather than origin, making it suitable for a wide range of secondary applications:

• Reclaimed foundry sand for construction use

• Reclaimed foundry sand for civil projects

• Reclaimed foundry sand for road base and embankment fill

• Engineered fill material and stabilized foundry sand

• Reclaimed foundry sand for concrete blending

• Reclaimed foundry sand for asphalt mix

• Thermal sand fill and refractory sand reuse

• Geotechnical use where compaction and stability are required

Performance characteristics such as high flowability, stable compaction, load-bearing suitability, and thermal stability are aligned with infrastructure and industrial requirements.

Application Compatibility Across Industries

International buyers source recycled foundry sand from India for applications including:

• Infrastructure and civil engineering projects

• Road sub-base and engineered backfill

• Flowable fill and trench fill systems

• Industrial reclaimed sand applications

• Environmentally compliant bulk fill material

Our material is commonly specified as performance tested reclaimed foundry sand for projects where consistency and compliance are more critical than origin.
