Aseman Balaghi Kaolin Mine:

The Aseman-Balaghi kaolin mine is located in West Azerbaijan province and in the Takab County Conservation Area. Access to this mine is possible from West Azerbaijan and Takab City, but the easiest route is from Zanjan and via the Bijar Road.

This mine was discovered in 1380 AH by one of the company’s colleagues, Mehdi Pirvian, and after extensive testing and initial research and completing all legal steps, a license was obtained for its exploitation in 1384. Over the following years, steps were taken to equip, extract, and sell it.

Most consumers of this particular mineral are tile and ceramic manufacturing companies, and it is sometimes used for glazing and low grades for the production of refractory bricks and similar items. Large tile and ceramic manufacturing companies are customers of this kaolin.

Due to the low coefficient of this mineral and the strength and resistance it has in the production of sanitary porcelain tiles and ceramics, most tile manufacturers are interested in using this kaolin. Despite the distance of more than a thousand kilometers from this mine to the tile production centers, customers still favor using this kaolin in the main body of their manufactured tiles and ceramics. Famous companies and those that produce slab and first-class tiles are looking to use this special mineral.

Some consumers and ceramic experts believe that this mineral is similar to Ball-Clay and has many of the properties of Ball-Clay. That is why consumers are not willing to change their production line once they first use this product, and for this reason, the company is proud to have permanent, regular, and traditional customers who continuously and continuously send thousands of tons of kaolin from the company’s Aseman-Bolaghi mine to exhibitions for such customers.
