Salt

Salt is necessary for the survival of all living creatures, including humans.Salt is required for life, but overconsumption can increase the risk of health problems.SSP can supply complete plant for salt refining and drying to produce iodised, free flowing salt from crude salt.The crude salt costs Rs.300-400 (US$ 7-8) per Ton and after refining and packing the salt is sold at Rs.4.00 to Rs.5.00 (US$ 0.1) per kg.This is a very profitable project, but it needs a relatively bigger initial investment. The recovery from crude salt to free flowing salt is nearly 85-90%.
