How it works
Stainless steel enclosed conveying protects salt from external contaminants. The closed system limits the release of salt and brine into the workplace while maintaining a continuous transfer.
Its place in the process
A screw conveyor connects process steps through an enclosed transfer path. Route length, inclination and discharge position influence the arrangement; wet salt and dry salt need separate handling assessments.

PROSALT Screw Conveyor, which is completely made of stainless steel, performs the salt conveying process in a closed circuit.
- Closed Circuit Conveying: This closed system ensures that the salt is protected from external factors. As a result, the salt is processed with higher quality.
- Prevents Ambient Pollution: The screw conveyor ensures that the working environment is cleaner and healthier by conveying the brine solution in a closed system.
- Efficient Conveying: It conveys salt quickly and efficiently. This increases production capacity and saves time.

Equipment questions
Is a screw conveyor suitable for both wet and dry salt?
Both duties can be considered, but screw geometry, drive sizing, sealing and access must suit the actual material. A conveyor selected for dry salt should not be assumed suitable for a wet brine mixture.
Can this equipment be integrated into an existing salt plant?
A retrofit is assessed from the existing process flow, material analysis, available dimensions and utility connections. The upstream and downstream equipment must be reviewed together before the scope is agreed.
