Introduction

Salt is the common name for the substance sodium chloride (NaCI), which occurs in the form of transparent cubic crystals. Although salt is most familiar as a food supplement, less than 5% of the salt produced in the United States is used for that purpose. About 70% is used in the chemical industry, mostly as a source of chlorine. Salt is also used for countless other purposes, such as removing snow and ice from roads, softening water, preserving food, and stabilizing soils for construction.

Manufacturing Process

The manufacturing process involves preparing of brine from raw salt. After multiple washing stages the slurry undergoes centrifugation process. The sale cakes obtained at the outlet of centrifuge are devoid of impurities such as iron and other insoluble material. Multiple washing also controls both the impurities(soluble and insoluble) like calcium, magnesium and sand etc. These salt cakes are dried in the fluid bed dryer and after sieving for proper granules size and blending of free flowing agent the final product is obtained. The cyclone collects fines which are packed separately. The final product has alt content as high as 99.5% in form of NaCI. The entire process is automatic and the salt is produced and packed in most hygienic condition with highest purity up to 99.5% NaCI contents.
