Why source your bleaching earth from Umiya Minerals
Choosing the right activated bleaching earth manufacturer in India means weighing four things: product quality, batch-to-batch consistency, production scale, and reliable logistics. Umiya Minerals (Umiya Resources Pvt. Ltd.) delivers on all four. Operating since 2002 from a 3 lakh sq.ft. facility in Bhuj, Kutch, Gujarat — near Mundra Port — we run India's second-largest activated bleaching earth plant, giving refiners the capacity and consistency that large-volume contracts demand.
Bleach Master — technical specifications
Our flagship product, Bleach Master, is an acid-activated montmorillonite clay engineered for high bleachability, low oil retention and fast filtration:
| Parameter | Bleach Master |
|---|---|
| Bleachability | ~75% |
| Surface area | 290–310 m²/g |
| Oil retention | ≤ 20% |
| Moisture | 5–8% |
| Bulk density | 0.55 g/cc |
| pH (2% suspension) | ~4.0 |
| Material | Acid-activated montmorillonite clay |
A high surface area of 290–310 m²/g and ~75% bleachability let refiners hit colour targets at lower dosage — reducing both raw-material cost and spent-earth volumes.
Oils and industries we serve
Bleach Master is used to decolorize and refine a wide range of edible and industrial oils, including:
- Soybean, sunflower, rice bran, palm, mustard, groundnut, cottonseed, coconut and corn oil
- Industrial applications such as transformer oil reclamation, used-lubricant re-refining and biodiesel feedstock pretreatment
Nationwide supply and export reach
We supply oil refineries across India with efficient logistics from Bhuj-Kachchh, close to the Mundra and Kandla ports. Beyond India, we export Bleach Master to the Middle East and East Africa, and we are actively expanding our international footprint. Our scale lets us serve everything from 50 TPD crushing plants to 500 TPD integrated refineries.
Quality you can rely on, batch after batch
Every shipment is tested against the full specification panel in our in-house laboratory before despatch.
