Salt dosing unit

Car and lorry drivers expect snow-free and ice-free roads throughout the whole year. With an average of 1.6 million tonnes of de-icing salt used in Germany per winter, combating frost, freezing, ice and snowfall is a significant cost factor and has a high environmental impact. Saves salt while simultaneously increasing the effect of de-icing and good adhesion on the road Due to the use of wet-salt technology, however, winter maintenance service has become much more economical. Investigations by the German Federal Motorway Research Institute (BASt) show that with the use of wet-salt solutions, ice formation can be effectively prevented or at least delayed BASt estimates that the annual savings potential on federal motorways alone are approximately 100,000 tonnes. The cost of technical equipment is therefore amortised quickly by the savings of de-icing salt. Storage, mixing and loading stations for calcium and magnesium chloride for winter maintenance service Likusta, the specialist for solutions for waste-gas and waste-water treatment, has developed systems for the storage, mixing and loading of dispersal vehicles with wet-salt agents. They have been used reliably for years at our customer stations as needed - from manually operated to fully automatic systems. How the systems work The storage tank is filled with salt solution via a tanker. A level display with adjustable contacts indicates the minimum/maximum filling levels. An overfill protection system provides a warning with an optical and acoustic alarm. The emptying of the tank follows via a double-walled pipeline. In the event of leakage, a valve immediately closes in the tank crest.
