Rock Salt

AIMR started its Rock Salt trading operations few years ago through the group minerals trading arm AMTC, and achieved firm steps towards expanding in USA and Canada Markets. Recently, AIMR Started mining operations for the Egyptian Deicing Salt in one of the best spots all over the world which is Siwa oasis in Egypt producing a premium grade Bulk Rock Salt (Halite) with purity up to 99.2%.

AIMR supplies all commercial grades of Deicing Salt from Egypt for use in the snow clear of roads, runways and highways through an exceptional supply chain delivering shipments from our Halite mines in Siwa and graded in our stocking area inside Alexandria Sea-Port so that largest vessels can be loaded within few working days with loading rate exceeding 9000 tons/day.

AIMR now is one of the largest suppliers of Bulk Rock Salt ( Deicing Salt ) products in USA, Canada and Europe. We are unique manufacturers and distributers of our own range of Rock Salt products either in bulk or sieved to different grain size and moisture content less than 1%.

What is Rock Salt ?

Rock salt, or Halite, is mined all over the world. The byproduct of dried up enclosed seas and ancient lakes, the resulting halite was, over time, covered in sediment and natural material. Mining for this salt requires locating and extracting sodium chloride from vast stretches of underground salt beds. AIMR specializes in just this type of extraction. Focusing on both the indigenous salt mines and on the Siwa Oasis in Egypt, we offer two types of rock salt products: pure Egyptian rock salt and also that which is mixed with 23% sea salt. Rock salt extracted from Siwa boasts a purity of 99.2% with a maximum moisture content of 1%

Available Types of Rock Salt

AIMR provides a variety of sodium chloride products for both commercial and residential uses. With access to the best mines and resources available, our product stock is certainly considerable.

Raw Salt

Containing rather large crystals, this unrefined form of mined Egyptian rock salt bulk often contains a large amount of sediment and dirt. Still, however, it has proven useful certainly for de-icing bulk applications along with a variety of industrial applications.

Washed Salt

Washing bulk rock salt in its brine, the undesirable matter is thus removed and the product is essentially cleaned, leaving it whiter in appearance, closer to what many would consider the “true” color of salt. Useful in industrial and chemical applications, this washed salt can also ultimately be used toward the production of table salt and can be shipped in bulk or jumbo bags.

Crushed Salt

Once mined and extracted, large salt crystals will often go through a cycle in which it may get crushed three or four times. Using grinding mills, we can create smaller particles suitable for use in a number of industries.

Sieved Salt

With Sieved Salt, the material is taken through a screening process in which the resultant particles (and what AIMR consequently is able to supply)

Are available in the following sizes:

0-1mm, 0-3mm, 0-6mm, 0-8mm, 0-10mm, 0-12mm

Where can you find rock salt?

Siwa :

Our salt begins with the ancient seas surrounding the Siwan Oasis. Located in Egypt’s western desert, Siwa is rich in the byproduct of this evaporated ocean: halite.

Extracting this Egyptian rock salt from beneath layers of sand, we are able to harvest sodium chloride that has a purity level of over 99%.

Packaging

Eager to accommodate your needs, we offer a variety of packaging and shipment options for our Egyptian rock salt products. Supplying to countries worldwide, we often ship rock salt in bulk utilizing various vessels sizes and containers.

Depending on your country’s regulations and restrictions, we can come up with a solution and packaging option to deliver your Egyptian mineral product safely and efficiently. Additionally, we can fulfill smaller orders and package rock salt in jumbo bags or retail bags for convenience of use and delivery.

Usage and Industries

Salt Applications

Obviously the primary use for rock salt and related products is for the removal of ice and snow. As sodium chlorine has a much lower freezing temperature than water, ice melts quite efficiently with the use of Rock Salt Products. Roughly 60-80% of mined salt is used in this capacity.

Chemical and pharmaceutical industries also rely upon the use of halite for various products that they manufacture. The saline component is instrumental in the Pharmaceutical industry; while chemical companies utilize sodium chloride in detergents and solvents.

Sea Salt

aimr_dev — Wed, 17 Aug 2016 10:11:11 +0000

What is Sea Salt ?

Living in a planet which has a surface mostly covered with a too salty water, and with having one of the best extracting facilities, equipment and a highly experienced team of professionals, dedicated to the extraction of sea salt and the transition of a liquid to a gaseous, vaporized state.

As the water vaporizes after capturing it in shallow ponds the salt remains behind, creating a more saline water which is crystallized by the effect of wind and sun, leaving the salt crystals in its harvesting state.

Sea salt in Deicing

Using Sea salt as a deicer on the snowy roads is considered the most environmentally friendly and natural salt that exists for the use of snow melting.

The sea salt is the main factor reaching the “Freezing point depression”; salt helps lowering the freezing point of the water, which is the main component of snow and consequently the melting point of it, and prevents the water from freezing or re-freezing.

When the salt is sprinkled on snow or ice, it makes a brine with the thin film of water covering snow and ice, leading to a start of melting process once the ice sprinkled on part is touched with.

What is Phosphate Rock?

Phosphate rock (or Phosphorite) basically refers to any form of rock that possesses a high phosphorous content. Often extracted by means of surface drilling, this rock is mined through a blasting and harvesting process. Its uses are quite varied. Frequently it is utilized to make calcium phosphate nutritional supplements, and more regularly it is put into fertilizers for agricultural use.

Where can you find Phosphate rock?

Nearly 80% of the world phosphate rock is currently mined from sedimentary deposits of phosphate rich material endemic to areas such as China, the Middle East, Africa and the US. Now produced almost exclusively from surface mines (versus underground mines), phosphate rock is an extremely useful mineral.

Our Phosphate Origin

We export the raw phosphate rocks directly from the mines. The origin of such rocks is generally Aswan. Located along the Nile, there are numerous well-known quarries in this area. Rich in minerals and varying types of stone, Aswan is a major mining region.

Available Grades

Phosphate rock is measured by content of phosphate present in the
particular sedimentary particle.

Our phosphorite products come the following phosphate densities:
31%, 30%, 29%, 28%, 27%, 26%, 25%, 24%, 23%, and 22%
