Salt Processing Plant
Salt processing steps
Mining
Salt mining in the Himalayas was carried out using the “chamber and pillar” method
Raw material storage
We collect large quantities of salt directly from the salt mines and store it on our premises.
Washing
Since salt is an entirely natural product, it may contain stone fragments or impurities.
Drying
We place an oven and dry the stone with hot, dry air, as the salt should not be exposed.
Quality control process
After drying, the salt is checked again for foreign substances.Â
Crushing plant
Efficiently crush and process raw materials with our cutting-edge crushing plant.
Sieving on plant with different Meshes
The large pieces of salt are ground at the factory.
Separation
The salt is placed in a separator where foreign particles are filtered out.
Metal detectors
We test the salt with a metal detector to make sure there are no foreign objects, ncluding iron, present.
Packaging, wrapping
The bags are packed and sealed, after which they are opened and checked
Laboratory testing
The laboratory carries out quality assurance procedures and tests the product for various.
Storage in Warehousing and delivery
The salt is stored in our warehouse until final loading
Salt Plant
Standard Salt’s salt processing plant is the only plant in Pakistan that uses a complete purification process, including a computer-controlled optical separator and a magnetic separator. Accurate weighing also sets us apart from other salt companies. Our methods are designed to increase efficiency and recovery while reducing waste. Our aim is to increase productivity and efficiency by ensuring high sorting capacity and consistent rock salt quality.
All production equipment is made of 316L stainless steel, which significantly reduces the risk of corrosion from salt. Several magnetic traps are installed in the process to separate and remove metal particles trapped in the rock salt. Our optical separators sort the particles in an automated process. Rock salt naturally occurs in various shades of grey and other colours. The optical separator separates pink salt from other colours and discards the rest. This advanced technology distinguishes pink salt from other Pakistani salt producers and makes it truly edible.
The entire production plant is monitored by CCTV cameras and each quality control center has cameras pointed at each location for surveillance and monitoring. In addition, all our products have internal batch and lot numbers that can be tracked by quality control managers and quality control personnel on the production line.

Salt mining
Salt mining in the Himalayas was carried out using the “chamber and pillar” method (also known as the “dome and pillar” method), a construction method invented by the British in the early 19th century. This method guaranteed mine safety. Only 50% of the salt was extracted from each “chamber” in the mine. The remaining 50% was stored in columns to preserve the structure of the chamber and the mountain.
Storage and transport of raw materials
We collect large quantities of salt directly from the salt mines and store it on our premises.

Quality control
Although salt is a naturally occurring product, it may still contain impurities or stone fragments. To ensure the quality of our production, we meticulously select stones that are free of any defects prior to commencing manufacturing. Additionally, we conduct rigorous testing throughout the production process to ensure that our final product meets our high standards for purity and quality. By taking these precautions, we are able to provide our customers with a premium product that is both safe and of the highest quality.
Washing
Introducing our innovative cleaning solution for your large items – using water from the top of our machine to ensure thorough cleansing and polishing. Our process maintains the natural purity of Himalayan salt, unlike any other in the industry. Trust us to elevate your salt experience with our cutting-edge technology.
Drying
We place an oven and dry the stone with hot, dry air, as the salt should not be exposed to moisture. We leave the salt in the oven for 5-6 hours until it is completely dry. Unlike other factories that dry salt in the sun, we have a dryer that is time-efficient, weatherproof and protects the salt from environmental pollution.
Sieving on plant with different Meshes
At our facility, quality control is our top priority. We go the extra mile to ensure that every grain of salt is pure and safe for consumption. Our state-of-the-art metal detector technology is used to detect and eliminate any foreign objects, including iron, from our salt. Trust us to deliver only the highest quality Himalayan salt to your table.
Colour separation technology
We pride ourselves on being a company that is constantly evolving and innovating screen technologies and new processes. We have installed state-of-the-art colour sorting machines that separate particles and unwanted material from the salt to truly account for the quality of our product.
Separation
Experience the epitome of purity with our Himalayan salt. Our advanced separation process effectively filters out any foreign particles, while our diligent quality controllers ensure that only the cleanest salt reaches your table. Trust us to provide you with the finest and most pristine salt available on the market.
Metal detectors
We test the salt with a metal detector to make sure there are no foreign objects, including iron, present.
Packaging and sealing of bags
The bags are packed and sealed, after which they are opened and checked. The quality team is involved in this process and checks the packed finished product. Internally, we call this quality control.
Laboratory tests
The laboratory carries out quality assurance procedures and tests the product for various parameters such as sodium chloride, calcium, magnesium, sulphate, moisture content, water solubility, particle size and iodine content to ensure that we send a quality product to our customers.
Storage and delivery
The salt is stored in our warehouse until final loading. Raw salt from the mines is efficiently bagged and transported directly to state-of-the-art salt processing plants in Pakistan. To meet strict food safety and quality principles, all our salt products are further processed and packed here using our patented technology, machinery and experienced and competent salt experts.
