US 2026/0257443 A1 · SYSTEM AND PROCESS OF MANUFACTURING OF A SALT BRIQUETTE

Abstract

A system and method for manufacturing briquette of hygroscopic metallic salt is disclosed. The system (100) comprising a feed hopper unit (101), a vibrating sieve unit (102), a briquetting unit (104), a belt conveyer (105), a bucket elevator (106), a double deck vibrating sieve unit (107), a sifter (107a), a product hopper unit (108), a by-product hopper unit (109), and a product and by product packing unit (110). the briquetting unit (104) comprising an inclined screw conveyer unit (103) configured for pushing hygroscopic metallic salt material into the briquetting unit (104), one or more briquette rollers configured for compression of hygroscopic metallic salt material into briquette stripes, a breaker unit (112) configured to break the briquette stripes into small pieces, and a cutting assembly configured to cut the briquette stripes and to obtain the briquette of hygroscopic metallic salt. The briquette of hygroscopic metallic salt manufactured by the process (200) is easy to handle, transportable, storage stable and causes minimum loss of salt before the end use.

A process (200) for manufacturing a briquette of hygroscopic metallic salt comprising steps of:

feeding (201) hygroscopic metallic salt material to a feed hopper unit (101);
removing (202) lumps from the hygroscopic metallic salt material using a vibrating sieve unit (102) to obtain the hygroscopic metallic salt material having a uniform powder of a predefined sieve size;
inclined conveying (203) of the hygroscopic metallic salt material having the uniform powder of a predefined sieve size to a briquetting unit (104) using an inclined screw conveyer unit (103);
feeding the hygroscopic metallic salt material within the briquetting unit (104) using a feeder assembly (111);
compressing (204) the fed hygroscopic metallic salt material using one or more briquette rollers having at least one roller and a plurality of grooves to form briquette stripes, wherein feeding and compressing are independently controlled using separate Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) associated with the feeder assembly (111) and the one or more briquette rollers, respectively;
breaking (205) the briquette stripes into small pieces using a breaker unit (112), and cutting (206) the briquette stripes using a cutting assembly to obtain the briquette of hygroscopic metallic salt;
transferring (207) the briquette of hygroscopic metallic salt using a belt conveyer (105) to a bucket elevator (106);
passing (208) the briquette of hygroscopic metallic salt through the bucket elevator (106) to a double deck vibrating sieve unit (107) and a sifter (107a);
separating (209) the briquette of hygroscopic metallic salt and by-product based on size and breaking loosely bound material;
and
separately collecting (210) the briquette of hygroscopic metallic salt in a product hopper unit (108) and the by-product in a by-product hopper unit (109).
