Product Overview
Dense medium ferrosilicon is produced by melting plate steel and 75% FeSi in a batch process. Atomized products are water‑atomized to the required size distribution, while milled products are coarse granulated and then milled to achieve the required size grade. The production process is carefully controlled to ensure that the correct chemical and physical qualities are achieved in every batch. For a side‑by‑side look at the two production methods, see our milled vs. atomized ferrosilicon comparison; if a specific size grade is what your circuit calls for, we also supply milled ferrosilicon powder direct to spec.
Each melt is sampled and tested for chemical analysis, with a batch number assigned for full traceability and independent laboratory verification available on request. VPA Minerals & Alloys operates across Iran, Armenia and Türkiye.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is DMS Ferrosilicon 15%?
It's ferrosilicon supplied for dense medium separation (DMS) in mineral processing. It's produced by melting plate steel and 75% FeSi in a batch process, then supplied as atomized grades (water‑atomized to size) or milled grades (granulated, then milled to size).
What are the main applications of DMS Ferrosilicon?
- Diamond processing
- Coal washing
- Iron ore beneficiation
- Lead & zinc processing
- Chromite separation
- Manganese processing
What is the difference between Atomized and Milled DMS Ferrosilicon?
Atomized ferrosilicon is water‑atomized to the required size distribution, available as Coarse, Fine, Extra Fine, Cyclone 60 and Cyclone 40. Milled ferrosilicon is coarse granulated and then milled to a required size grade — 65D, 100D, 150D, 270D and 270F, with the 100D/150D/270D core grades passing 45 micron at 61–93%. See the full milled vs. atomized comparison.
What is the chemical composition of DMS Ferrosilicon 15%?
Iron (Fe) 80% min, Silicon (Si) 14–16%, Manganese (Mn) 0.8% max, Chromium (Cr) 0.6% max. The milled grade has a pycnometric density of 6.7–7.1 g/cm³, non‑magnetics of 0.5% max, and magnetic susceptibility of 58 min.
How is quality controlled?
Each melt is sampled and tested for correct chemical analysis. The final product is sampled and tested, and a batch number is allocated to ensure traceability. Samples of the product are also tested and verified by independent laboratories.
