Harvesting

When an adequate layer of salt has built up on the pan floor, harvesting commences. We harvest our salt mechanically with a machine specially designed for this purpose. The machine digs up the salt, deposits it onto a conveyor belt, which carries it to our trucks. Contracted workers also harvest by hand. The raw salt is then washed with a brine solution (to prevent it from dissolving again), where silt and other impurities are removed. The clean washed salt is then stockpiled, ready to be processed.
