At Gorle Global Group, we are deeply engaged in the mining, crushing, and screening industry, specializing in the extraction and processing of minerals. Our operations integrate advanced technologies and efficient processes to optimize production, reduce costs, and ensure the highest quality output. Throughout our activities, we place the utmost emphasis on safety, environmental sustainability, and strict adherence to industry regulations.
As a part of our commitment to delivering superior products, we proudly offer Original MIXBAG Sand, a high-performance manufactured sand that outperforms natural river sand in strength, durability, and environmental sustainability.
The Advantages of Original MIXBAG Sand
- Superior Particle Shape
- Original MIXBAG Sand is free from elongated and flaky particles due to its cubical shaping process using VSI (Vertical Shaft Impactor) machines. This unique cubical shape contributes to stronger, more durable concrete structures, ensuring long-lasting performance.
- Adherence to Standards
- Our sand is manufactured in strict compliance with IS 383 (1970) zone II grading. The perfect grading and cubical shape of MIXBAG Sand result in 10-15% higher compressive strength for concrete and 25-30% increased strength for masonry works compared to traditional river sand and crusher dust.
- Consistent Water Absorption
- Original MIXBAG Sand maintains a particle size distribution with less than 10% of particles smaller than 150 microns and less than 2% smaller than 45 microns. This control helps ensure that the water absorption rate in concrete stays below 2%, supporting consistent and reliable concrete quality.
- Optimized Fineness Modulus
- Precisely graded through advanced screening techniques, MIXBAG Sand achieves a higher Fineness Modulus Index compared to river sand and crusher dust. This provides excellent workability, making construction tasks faster and more efficient.
- Multiple Grades for Different Applications
- MIXBAG Sand is available in two distinct grades, tailored for concreting and plastering. This eliminates the need for additional filtration, reducing waste and lowering costs for construction projects.
MIXBAG Sand Quality Assurance
Our commitment to quality is reinforced by rigorous testing, ensuring that every batch of MIXBAG Sand adheres to the highest standards. Quality tests include:
- Sieve Analysis
- Optical Microscopic Study to confirm particle shape
- Workability Test using the Slump Cone Method
- Cube Test for compressive strength
- Adulteration Check for impurities such as sea sand or muddy soil
Comparison with River Sand
While river sand was historically a popular choice, excessive mining has resulted in ecological imbalances. The coarse and silt-laden river sand now available often weakens concrete, promoting dampness and reducing strength. Natural river sand is also laden with impurities like mica, coal, and organic materials, making it less suitable for construction.Additionally, the scarcity and high cost of river sand have driven some to adulterate it with salty sea sand, posing further risks to builders.

MIXBAG Sand Specifications
- Greater Durability
- MIXBAG Sand’s balanced physical and chemical properties ensure enhanced durability, capable of withstanding aggressive environmental and climatic conditions. Its use helps eliminate common concrete defects such as honeycombing, segregation, and void formation.
- Enhanced Strength
- With its superior shape, precise gradation, and smooth texture, MIXBAG Sand provides greater strength to concrete. This helps mitigate issues like bleeding, voids, and segregation, resulting in more durable structures.
- Improved Workability
- Unlike the flaky and angular nature of crusher dust, MIXBAG Sand’s cubical shape and well-graded particles offer superior plasticity and workability, making it easier for masons to handle during construction.
- Elimination of Construction Defects
- MIXBAG Sand’s optimized setting times and consistent particle distribution help prevent defects like honeycombing, voids, and capillary action in concrete.
- Cost Efficiency
- By eliminating impurities and reducing waste, MIXBAG Sand ensures zero wastage and reduces the need for cement in concrete mixes. This not only lowers overall construction costs but also contributes to a more efficient use of resources.
- Eco-Friendly Solution
- MIXBAG Sand is an environmentally sustainable alternative to river sand. The extraction of river sand has led to groundwater depletion, damage to infrastructure, and ecological threats. With increasing regulations against sand dredging, MIXBAG Sand provides a safer, eco-friendly option for the construction industry.
By choosing MIXBAG Sand, you are not only investing in a superior product but also contributing to a more sustainable future. Let Gorle Global Group provide the materials you need for your next project with the assurance of quality, reliability, and environmental responsibility.
