MANUFACTURING PROCESS
Procured from solar salt field is subjected to wet milling, three stage washing by raw salt saturated brine, centrifuging, blending with potassium lodate and ferricyanide and then to drying. Dried salt is graded. The crystal size between – 850 to + 150 microns are blended with the suitable quantity of a free flowing agent and packed in consumer pack of net weight 1 kgs. The crystal size of-150 microns are directly packed in laminated iidpe bags in 50 kgs. Lot and sold to chemical, food and various processing industries. 85% – 90% of the products are sold in the consumer market as edible salt and the balance to industries as chemical, bulking or souring agent. The brine rejected after washing of salt is sending to settling pond where it is chemically treated for removing the excess load of calcium, magnesium & sulfates and then allowed to settle down for removing the insoluble impurities. The brine thus generated is sent back again to the plant for washing the common salt. The brine over loated with dirt and insoluble shall be disposed off in the salt creeks near to out plant site. The process as above is indigenously developed and well tried. The above is a continuous process and hence suitable holding up capacities at various stages is provided for ensuring a smooth operation.
