After salting hams, it is necessary to wash them with water to eliminate the remains of salt on the surface. Currently, this generates a high uncontrolled consumption of water, which is discarded with a high amount of salt, causing contamination problems and high purification costs, in addition to the cost of disposal of the waste generated.

The DSA-17-SA desalting machine recovers the salt dry by means of high pressure air blowing, achieving an 80% reduction in the exterrnal salt that is discarded in the washing process and a very important reduction in energy and water consumption.

The ham and/or shoulder is placed on a special stainless steel conveyor by which it is transported into the desalting machine. The action of the high pressure air coming out of the nozzles spreads the grains of salt from the surface of the ham. The salt is collected in the lower hopper of the machine and is recovered by means of an endless tube.

Combining it with our MINICON washer machine with low water consumption gives a perfect result in the cleaning of the hams and contributes to the preservation of the environment.
