How we Make Salt
We produce salt from the purest water sources surrounding Australia
High quality, natural sea salt is harvested from clean water using a natural evaporative process
The Process of Making Salt
The process begins when seawater is pumped into shallow concentrating ponds. The concentrating ponds take full advantage of the natural topography to minimise the energy required for pumping.
As the sun and wind evaporate the water, the solution becomes denser. We then guide it slowly through a series of ponds by gravity or pumping for further evaporation. The salt settles into a thick layer on the crystalliser floor and we then use mechanical harvesting equipment to separate and lift it from the crystalliser.
The salt is then crushed, washed and screened into specific particle sizes. We can then package it to suit the needs of customers. Some refined products go through a drying process to remove any excess moisture and to produce clean, consistently sized particles.
