Salt

The Qemetica is the largest Polish manufacturer of evaporated salt and one of the biggest producer in Europe with two factories in Germany and Poland. 

Evaporated salt is widely used in the following industries:

• Food - alone or as a component of supplements enriching the diet of wild and farm animals (cows, horses, sheep, goats and forest animals). In this case, feed salt or in the form of licks is enriched with minerals(copper, cobalt, selenium, zinc, manganese, iodine),

• Water treatment and softening processes, thanks to which it contributes to the reduction of water, detergent and fuel consumption. It also extends the life of household appliances.

• Chemical industry and other branches of heavy industry- mainly in electrolysis processes.

The salt plant in Stassfurt is one of the most modern facilities of this type in Europe. Evaporated salt is produced there using a different technology than in the Polish plant. Instead of steam-heated evaporators (MEE technology), we used a fully automated production line based on MVR technology (evaporation of water by supplying compressed steam). Based on Boyl's physical law, the technology results in significant savings and increases the efficiency of salt production.
