Potash: Leading solutions for potash separation and drying

Are you looking to boost throughput? Improve product quality? Or discover innovative ways to save space, water, and energy? Whether it’s dewatering, thickening, compacting, or after-treatment, we can recommend the optimal solution to improve your productivity in any type of potash separation.

Solid-liquid separation is a critical process in potash mining, playing a pivotal role in enhancing operational efficiency, resource recovery, and environmental management. Starting with the first potash centrifuge installed in 1926, ANDRITZ is proud to be a well-experienced leader in potash separation technoogies, tailoring the right solutions and services for any capacity, process conditions, or end product. We offer the broadest range of dewatering, brine, and tailings treatment solutions for any type of end product. Combined with process simulation technology, machine and process control and proven local service, we are proud to be able to offer the full package from from simulation to installation and process optimization.

As soon as your raw materials are above ground, we’ve got you covered with a total production solution – every single process step along the way.
