Superior Coal Dust
for Iron Foundries

Coal Dust finds diverse applications across industries. Primarily, it is a crucial component in foundries for green sand mould production, contributing to the casting process by creating a smooth lustrous finish on iron castings. It’s also used to produce friction materials like brake linings, enhancing their performance and durability. Additionally, Coal Dust is employed in specific chemical processes and other industrial applications, such as producing carbon-based products and as a reducing agent in certain metallurgical processes, where its carbon content is essential.

Unlike many suppliers who source from various locations, James Cumming & Sons focuses on premium Australian coal, ensuring a consistent and reliable source material. This allows us to maintain tighter control over the quality and characteristics of our coal dust. Furthermore, our extensive experience allows us to offer customised solutions, including specific particle size distributions and other tailored properties, that directly address unique customer needs. This level of customisation and control over the supply chain is what truly sets us apart.

Lead times for coal dust orders vary depending on the quantity ordered and current production schedules. We strive to provide efficient and timely delivery to all our customers. We recommend contacting our team directly to discuss your specific requirements and receive an accurate lead time estimate. We can also discuss expedited options if needed. We typically keep at least 100MT in stock at all times.

James Cumming & Sons offers a range of flexible packaging options to suit your needs. We provide bulk delivery in pneumatic tankers, typically ranging from 8 to 40 metric tonnes per delivery. For smaller quantities, we offer convenient one-tonne or 500kg woven polypropylene bulk bags, we can also pack in 20kg small woven polypropylene sacks. Should you require a specific packaging solution, we can also accommodate custom packaging requests to meet your unique requirements.

The calorific value of coal dust is critical in many industrial applications, particularly those involving combustion. A higher calorific value indicates greater energy content, which translates to increased energy output and improved efficiency in processes like fuel combustion for industrial heating and power generation. At James Cumming & Sons, our coal dust typically exhibits a calorific value greater than 6,600 kcal per kg, ensuring that our customers benefit from maximum energy output and optimised operational efficiency.
