The centrifuge
is the heart of your salt processing

Worldwide 30’000 t/h salt is separated with Ferrum centrifuges.

Process Heart, Blue Blood:
Where Every Spin Infuses
Freshness and Purity With Care

The slurry, as the process’ «blue
blood», holds essential ingredients
for quality separation. The centrifuge,
acting as the heart, spins it into
­ purity, driving efficient and precise
separation at the core.

Various Applications
Your trusted source for quality salts

De-icing road salt

De-icing road salt


Salt from rock mines is used for de-icing and requires no high purity. Ferrum centrifuges, with robust screens and efficient pusher systems, offer high throughput and low residual moisture – ideal for coarse salt.

Chemical industry salt

Chemical industry salt


Chlor-alkali and soda ash processes demand high-purity salt. Ferrum centrifuges minimise crystal breakage and filtrate loss, while maintaining consistent moisture and quality.

Food grade salt

Food grade salt


Food-grade salt requires strict hygiene and purity. Extracted via solution mining or sea water, it’s processed in Ferrum centrifuges designed for safe cleaning and high, stable performance.
