Perfecting Salt

Logistics Flowchart
Logistics Flowchart
  • Optical Color Sorting: Detects particles that mimic the appearance of salt (like clay, stone and rock) as well as salt crystals that have inclusions or may otherwise be less desirable. Once identified, this material is instantly removed with a targeted burst of air.
  • Rare Earth Magnets: Any ferrous metal and magnetic contamination is removed by the strongest rare earth magnets in the industry.
  • Aspiration: Removes objects lighter than the salt, such as plant matter, fibers, wood and other undesirable materials.
  • Metal Detection: In addition to rare earth magnets, the salt goes through a final metal detection step to ensure that the processed and packaged salt is free of ferrous and non-ferrous metals.
  • Sieving: The salt is specially sieved to exacting sizes, ensuring consistency every time.

What gets removed?

Rocks, rubber, sand, sticks, and more.

Optically Clean Technology

SaltWorks proprietary Optically Clean® technology distinguishes our salts as the purest on the market. Here’s why:

  • Our extensive processes eliminate foreign materials such as metals, sticks, sand, rocks, clay, flawed crystals and other insoluble matter, leaving only 100% natural salt that is ready for use in food manufacturing.
  • No chemicals or artificial processing agents are ever used, leaving the salt just as pure as the day it was harvested and keeping prized mineral content intact.
  • Every grain is reviewed for quality using high-definition cameras.
  • Our custom-engineered equipment can detect undesirable foreign particles that are smaller than a grain of sand.
  • If foreign material is detected or a grain does not meet our strict quality guidelines, a targeted burst of air instantly removes it from production.
