Salt – an all-important mineral in our lives
How to avoid problems in transport to your end consumers
Although many people might first think of salt in relation to food, it’s an essential mineral that turns up in many other places, too.
In the past, salt was used exclusively for the conservation of food. Today, however, industrial salts have many applications. Some are used to make chemicals (like chlorine, sodium hydroxide, PVC, etc.), paper, or glass. Others are spread on our roads in wintertime to prevent icing, or used in water treatment or farming. Still others find uses in beauty and healthcare. Good packaging and safe transport are therefore extremely important
The task depends on the product
We have the solution
As with many other industries, the salt industry faces major challenges in terms of achieving advanced and sustainable processing and packaging solutions.
- As salt is hygroscopic, suitable moisture barriers are therefore needed to ensure optimum transport. Machinery needs to be designed specifically for handling salts.
- Salt must be securely transportable, without any product losses. The means of transport chosen must therefore offer adequate stability, protection, and leak-tightness.
- Salt producers are also being called on to make their industry more sustainable. The perfect packaging will therefore be environmentally friendly.
