salt drying

Sea salt is salt produced from the evaporation of seawater. Its use is practical only in warm climates where the evaporation rate exceeds the precipitation rate, either annually or for extended periods, and ideally, where there are steady prevailing winds. When an adequate layer of salt has built up on the pan floor, harvesting commences. A machine digs up the salt, deposits it onto a conveyor belt, which carries it to trucks. Contracted workers also harvest by hand. The raw salt is […]

Tema Process is the liquid/solid separation solution provider for Salt production and processing plants.
Salt is the common name for the substance sodium chloride (NaCI), which occurs in the form of transparent cubic crystals.
Salt centrifuge
The Siebtechnik Tema centrifuges are used for continuous solid-liquid separation and provide a long holding time, low material loss and low crystal breakage. The centrifuge enables the salt to be dewatered with a high efficiency before final drying and cooling in the Tema Process fluid bed system.

Production of sea salt begins with evaporation of sea water in shallow pools and ends with the harvest, washing, drying and packing of salts.

Salt is extremely soluble in water. Sea, ocean water or salt brines are the major sources of the world supply of salt. The recovery of salt from sea/brine water occurs by the evaporation of water and until the salt begins to crystallize. Crystallization occurs when the concentration of a chemical exceeds the solubility in the particular solvent. Brine (salt water) is chemically purified and by a process of controlled thermal compression and vacuum evaporation, solidify and crystallize into a spherical […]

Sodium Sulfate Na2SO4 drying. Fluid bed dryers are today’s standard of technology for drying and cooling of all kind of salts. Sodium Sulfate: the largest use is as filler in powdered home laundry detergents, consuming approx. 50% of world production. The glass industry provides another significant application for sodium sulfate.

Salt drying. Commissioning a Tema Process dryer/cooler.
In solution mining, salt is extracted by forcing water under pressure into a bore-hole drilled into an underground salt bed or dome. The salt dissolves, turning the water into brine and creating a cavern in the salt-bed. The salt is produced by evaporating ‘solution-mined’ brine in pressure vessels – a process known as Vacuum Evaporation.
For food and related industries, a salt drier is required. Salt from the centrifuges is fed into fluid bed drier-coolers […]

Salt, or Sodium Chloride, is essential for life , weather for human beings or animals, and it’s history for production goes back a long time. Weather produced by natural evaporation in ponds, or mined as rock salt, in the upgrading process to clean salt crystals, salt drying is a crucial step. Tema Process supplies advanced fluid beds for salt drying applications ( sea-salt, rock salt , vacuum salt or brines) in a large range of capacities , manufactured in corrosion […]
