Salt processing is a unique industry. Processors need equipment that can reliably produce consistent particle sizes while also resisting the natural corrosive effects of salt. RMS roller mills make the ideal industrial salt grinder. They offer control, consistency, efficiency, and durability, even in the most unforgiving and corrosive conditions.
In this video, you can see how a roller mill takes rock salt and consistently and precisely grinds it to two specifications with a minimal of fines:
What Makes an RMS Roller Mill Perfect for the Salt Industry?
With a deep understanding of the salt industry and its unique challenges, we offer machines engineered for durability and efficiency. RMS roller mills offer a solution optimized for the salt industry:
Minimal Fines
Fine particles represent lost material and lost profits. Other rock salt crushing machines and milling technologies produce a lot of wasteful fines. Our roller mills deliver more usable product at the desired particle size and less waste because they consistently produce fewer fines than other types of mills.
Low Cost of Ownership
Compared to a traditional salt rock crusher, our roller mills use up to 60% less energy. This means the cost of owning and operating a roller mill is significantly less than other styles.
Particle Size Versatility
Salt grinding for different applications requires different particle sizes. Our technology makes it easy to control size and to switch easily between sizes without too much downtime.
Corrosion Resistance
Salt is a tough material that can be challenging to grind. One of the major issues processors face is corrosion. Salt naturally corrodes many materials, causing them to rust and wear down. RMS roller mills are designed to be tougher than other equipment. Our machines last longer and resist the wear and tear of salt grinding better than the competition.
FAQs
We know you have other options when it comes to purchasing roller mills, but choosing RMS has several advantages. We have a dedicated service team of nine experienced professionals who provide ongoing support, troubleshooting, and hands-on solutions for roller mills. Our team is on-site every week, working directly with the equipment to ensure optimal performance.
In addition to their deep expertise with RMS machinery, they have also completed over 1,000 roll changes on CPM/Roskamp mills. This extensive, specialized experience means we know our machines, and those of our competitors, inside and out—because they are our focus.
Maintenance events cost time and money, so we aim to minimize them by offering maintenance-related technology that can increase uptime. One popular example is our Endurance Roll Program. We install these state-of-the-art rolls to improve the roller mill’s run time three to five times over standard rolls.
Our automatic greasing systems focus on preventative maintenance, so you never have to worry about greasing or shutting down the process to ensure the equipment is moving and operating smoothly. We have you covered for these and other types of preventative maintenance that can otherwise slow operations, and we can install them on other brands’ machines, like CPM/Roskamp.
Absolutely. Our roller mills are engineered for the salt processing industry and are built with corrosion resistance as a top priority. We utilize high-grade, corrosion-resistant materials specifically selected to endure harsh processing environments and extend equipment life span.
We recognize that the salt industry demands versatility—ranging from coarse crushing to fine grinding with precise particle sizes. That’s why RMS roller mills are designed for easy adjustability, allowing operators to seamlessly switch between different processing requirements.
Our systems can also be fully automated, with customizable “recipes” that adjust machine settings for specific grinds. These recipes can be managed via an intuitive touchscreen interface or integrated into plant- or line-level control systems for automated operation.
