with Mr. Balasubramanian to form Transgold Garnet
Malaysia SDN BBD (TGM) in 2007.
TGM distributes exclusively |OGS Garnet and is located in
Seri Kembangan Selangor and bonded Warehouse at Port
Klang which has storage capacity ranging between 500 and
700mt of each grade.
10GS 20/40 Grade 30/60 Grades are certified under ISO
11126- 10:2000 (Preparation of steel substrates before
application of paints and related products -- Specifications
for non-metallic blast-cleaning abrasives -- Part 10:
Almandite garnet) by SIRIM QAS International SDN. BHD,
Malaysia.Mining
The mines are situated on the south east coast of
peninsular India along the Gulf of Mannar. IOGS mines are
rich in high grade natural Alamandine Garnet with particle
size ranging from 8 to 120 mesh. With over 1000 acres of
captive mining areas along the beach that are renewable in
nature, and estimated reserve of up to 2 million metric
tonnes of high grade garnet, IOGS is one of the prime source
of Garnet from South India.
Processing
The mined sand is concentrated using spiral gravity
concentrators and cross flow Separator. Concentrated
garnet is washed using fresh water from RO Plant to remove
the chloride and conductivity. AFluid Bed Drier and a Rotary
drier prepares the concentrated ore for dry separation.
The company has two Dry processing Plants situated in
Tuticorin to produce sand-blasting grades of Garnet and
high precision Garnet meant for water jet cutting.
Magnetic separation using Rare Earth Magnetic Separators
for removal of magnetic and nonmagnetic impurities and
graded using modern vibrating screens (Rotex
Screens, Vibro-Screens etc.) to various grades of Garnet.
Packing
Buyer specific Packing is done using automatic packing
machines to ensure quality packing with accurate weight.
