How We Process Our Salt
The highest purity salt is produced in what are called "evaporation plants." These large, modern facilities produce a variety of salts for which purity is essential such as table salt, food processing salt, salt for animal feeds, and water softening salt. Sifto Salt operates evaporation plants in Goderich, Ontario; and Amherst, Nova Scotia.

The evaporation process is a modern and highly sophisticated method of salt production. In order to reach the salt deposits, a hole is drilled through the overlying soil and rocks. Water is pumped in to dissolve the salt and brine is pumped out. The brine is then evaporated in a series of large vessels called vacuum pans. As the water evaporates, salt settles and is removed as a slurry to a classifier tank where sulfates are removed. In the final phases, salt is passed to a filter-dryer and then on to a processing area. The end result is a high-purity, perfectly-crystallized product consisting of over 99.8% sodium chloride.
