Procesing the Salt Product


Our Rock Salt is produced by room and pillar dry mining. The salt bed is undercut, then drilled and blasted, followed by roof scaling by Webster rotary cutting head, designed specifically for the purpose.

This broken salt is then loaded by Cat 980 front-end shovels into 30 tonne Terex dump trucks and hauled to the crushing plant.

Crushing and screening is completed underground, the finished product being transported via a 2km network of conveyors to the surface.

The salt, ready for use, is treated with an anti-caking additive and then stored undercover for dispatch by sea or road.




It is I.S.M.E. policy to promote and ensure the health and safety of all personnel. We set out our obligation to provide a safe workplace for all employees, by risk assessment, full training and promotion of safety awareness throughout our entire mine operation.


Testing and sampling of the product is supported by the independent analysis provided by Sanderg of London, a NAMAS approved laboratory.

June 1995 saw our accreditation to BS EN ISO 9002 Quality Management Systems, our auditors being NQA. This assures our customers of the best performance at all service stages, including planning, production and delivery.

Regular and thorough internal and independent external audits ensure compliance with the Management system.
