Cooling

2. Though not always needed, a
cooling step in potash processing
is often utilized after a drying
stage.

4. Benefits of
Cooling Potash

5. Increased Efficiency:
Adding a potash cooler means potash
can immediately be bagged,
handled, or stored after processing.

6. Reduced Storage Issues:
Cooling potash prior to bagging
prevents caking and sticking issues
during storage.

7. Enhanced Granules:
Cooling potash creates a more robust
and resilient granule.

8. Choosing A Potash Cooler:
Rotary Cooler or
Fluid Bed Cooler?

9. Cooling potash can be carried out in
either a rotary cooler, or fluid bed
cooler, but rotary coolers are
considered a more robust choice.

10. Rotary coolers
are prized for their high throughput, heavy-
duty build, and ability to accept variability
in feedstock conditions.

11. Fluid bed coolers
are valued for their smaller footprint, and
modular capacity ideal for operational
growth. However, they cannot accept
variance in feedstock.

12. Conclusion:
Potash cooling offers many benefits to the
end product, as well as to the processing
operation. Both rotary coolers and fluid bed
coolers are a suitable choice for a potash
cooler.
