The brine generator for your winter service
We produce systems for the production of salt brine for winter road maintenance. Our brine generators are used in motorway maintenance depots, construction yards or by private companies. The brine generator can be extended with a salt silo and/or a brine storage tank.
Our brine production system – connect and get started
After delivery, simply connect the brine generator to the water connection and the mains supply – and you’re ready to start producing brine. Our brine generation system is available in two standard sizes (see here) and with optional additional equipment. These are
- Digital concentration measurement
- Filling hose with C-coupling
- Double-walled design
Automatic mixing water control - Automatic blow-down
- Automatic feeding
- Dissolving hopper
What is brine?
When talking about the use of de-icing agents in winter road maintenance, the term brine is often used. This is sodium chloride dissolved in water, which has a content of between 20 and 23 per cent. Terms such as liquid salt, brine, FS30, FS100 or NaCl solution are also frequently used.
What is the difference between FS30 and FS100
FS30 is also known as pre-wetted salt. The mixing ratio is 70 % de-icing salt and 30 % brine. FS100 is also known as liquid salt. The brine concentration consists of 20 to 23% brine, depending on the application or requirement.
Is salt brine often used in winter maintenance?
The trend towards the use of salt brine is increasing. Both small and large municipalities as well as numerous motorway maintenance depots are increasingly switching from road salt to FS30 or FS100.
The production of liquid salt – quick and easy
By using our system, we enable you to produce brine easily and safely. The salt concentration can be continuously monitored during production and the current brine content can be easily read off. Depending on the size of the system, the brine is ready after just one hour. It is then ready for filling the gritting vehicles. Alternatively, the 20 – 22% brine is filled into a storage container. The brine volume is circulated regularly. This prevents the salt from settling at the bottom of the container.
