Bentonite Granules for Fertilizer โ Agriculture Grade Specifications
Fertilizer manufacturers are the largest consumers of bentonite granules in India. Bentonite granules for fertilizer serve as a binding agent in NPK granulation, a carrier for micronutrients, and a soil conditioner when applied directly. Our agriculture-grade bentonite granules meet the requirements of major fertilizer companies including consistency in size (8โ16 mesh), moisture below 12%, and dust levels under 2% for clean processing.
Bentonite granules for agriculture improve soil water retention by 25โ40%, reduce fertilizer leaching, and enhance cation exchange capacity (CEC) of sandy and degraded soils. Farmers across Gujarat, Rajasthan, Maharashtra, and Madhya Pradesh increasingly use bentonite granules as a standalone soil amendment โ a market growing at 15%+ annually.
We supply fertilizer-grade bentonite granules in bulk โ 25 kg bags on pallets, 50 kg bags, or jumbo bags (1 MT / 1.5 MT) for blending plants. Custom granule sizing is available for buyers whose equipment requires specific sieve ranges.
Bentonite Granules for Foundry & Industrial Applications
Beyond agriculture, bentonite granules are critical in foundry green sand systems where they act as a binder for molding sand. Foundry-grade bentonite from Radhe Enterprises offers controlled swell index, thermal stability, and consistent fines that casting operations depend on for defect-free molds.
Industrial applications include oil well drilling (as a viscosifier), construction waterproofing, pond and lake sealing, iron ore pelletization, and waste containment lining. Each application demands specific bentonite properties โ we help you match the right grade to your process.

How Bentonite Granules Are Manufactured โ Our Process
Step 1 โ Mining: Raw bentonite clay is extracted from open-cast mines in the Bhavnagar region. We source from multiple mine faces to maintain chemical consistency.
Step 2 โ Drying & Crushing: Raw clay is sun-dried to reduce moisture, then crushed and screened to remove oversize material and impurities.
Step 3 โ Granulation: Processed bentonite is formed into granules using rotary disc/pan granulators. Ball size is controlled by disc speed, angle, and moisture addition. Red, black, and brown variants are separated based on iron oxide and organic content.
Step 4 โ Screening & Grading: Granules pass through vibrating screens to achieve target mesh sizes (8โ16, 8โ30, or custom). Undersize material is recycled.
Step 5 โ Quality Control: Each batch is tested for moisture (target 8โ12%), sieve analysis, swell index, and bulk density. Results are recorded for lot traceability.
Step 6 โ Packing & Dispatch: Finished granules are packed in laminated PP bags (25 kg or 50 kg) or jumbo bags and stored in covered sheds awaiting dispatch.
