Moisture and Caking Control in Bulk Salt

Salt can absorb moisture under certain conditions, so storage and logistics can affect flow behavior. Caking may result from packaging and environmental conditions as well as product characteristics.
Separate moisture sources
Warehouse humidity, floor contact, damaged bags, container condensation and temperature changes are different sources of risk.
Control pallet and floor contact
Avoid direct contact with damp floors and maintain pallet integrity.
Review packaging barrier
Outer bags, liners and packaging structure should be selected for expected transport and storage conditions.
Use FIFO and monitor storage time
First-in-first-out rotation and avoiding unnecessary long storage can reduce risk.
Investigate complaints with context
Record transport date, warehouse conditions and packaging integrity in addition to the product lot.
