ZOOMRY
Potash Handling Conveyor Solutions
ZOOMRY provides corrosion-resistant, enclosed conveyor systems for potash handling — from underground mining and flotation processing to compaction, storage, and rail or port loading. Our equipment withstands the corrosive chloride environment while protecting product quality and controlling dust throughout the fertilizer supply chain.
Potash handling combines multiple demanding challenges: hygroscopic salts that absorb moisture and cake aggressively, corrosive chlorides that rapidly degrade standard steel components, abrasive crystals that accelerate wear on conveying surfaces, and stringent product quality requirements for the global fertilizer market. ZOOMRY's HDPE roller systems, enclosed Pipe conveyors, corrosion-resistant spiral scraper conveyors, and specialized ship loaders are engineered specifically for these conditions. Whether you operate a conventional underground potash mine, solution mining facility, or compaction and granulation plant, our solutions deliver reliable, long-life operation in the most corrosive bulk material environments.
Recommended Equipment for Potash Handling
Each system is engineered for the specific demands of potash: extreme chloride corrosion resistance, moisture-proof conveying, dust containment, and gentle crystal handling.
Corrosion Resistant HDPE Roller
HDPE conveyor rollers are the foundation of reliable potash handling. Non-corrosive HDPE shells provide complete immunity to potassium chloride attack, achieving 40,000+ hours service life where standard steel rollers seize within months. Sealed stainless steel bearings with labyrinth protection prevent potash dust and moisture ingress — essential for underground potash mines and surface processing facilities where roller failure causes costly production interruptions.

Pipe Conveyor System
Fully enclosed pipe conveyors protect hygroscopic potash from rain and humidity that trigger caking and clogging, while preventing corrosive chloride dust emissions along the conveying route. The tubular design with HDPE liners and stainless steel contact surfaces resists potassium chloride attack while navigating tight curves — ideal for potash mines and processing plants that must route conveyors around existing infrastructure without creating dust-generating transfer points.

spiral scraper conveyor
Fully enclosed spiral scraper conveyor for dust-free potash transfer between flotation cells, centrifuges, dryers, compaction, and storage. Stainless steel construction throughout resists potassium chloride corrosion, while the sealed design prevents moisture ingress that causes aggressive potash caking. Low-speed, gentle handling minimizes crystal degradation — preserving potash sizing specifications for premium fertilizer markets.

Fertilizer Shiploader
Corrosion-protected shiploader for potash export terminals — such as Canpotex facilities in Vancouver, Portland, and Saint John. Stainless steel contact surfaces, galvanized structures, and specialized marine-grade coatings withstand decades of potassium chloride exposure in coastal environments. Enclosed loading chutes with dust extraction control potash dust during vessel loading while telescopic and radial functions enable precise hatch trimming at high capacity.

Radial Telescopic Stacker
Corrosion-resistant radial telescopic stacker for building high-capacity potash stockpiles in bulk storage warehouses. Galvanized structures, stainless steel hardware, and specialized coatings withstand years of potassium chloride exposure. Telescopic and radial functions build higher, more uniform piles — maximizing warehouse capacity while minimizing crystal degradation that occurs with mobile equipment on the pile.

Long Distance Curved Belt Conveyor
High-capacity overland potash transport from mine portal to processing plant or rail load-out facility. Steel cord belts handle thousands of tons per day across the Saskatchewan or Ural landscape, with curved designs that follow natural terrain and eliminate transfer stations. HDPE roller systems along the entire route ensure corrosion-free operation — replacing truck fleets and reducing transport costs by over 40%.

Truck Unloader
Corrosion-protected truck unloader for potash receiving at processing plants, compaction facilities, and rail load-out terminals. Stainless steel hopper liners and galvanized structures withstand aggressive potassium chloride exposure. Integrated dust extraction controls potash dust at the source — protecting workers, preventing corrosive dust accumulation on nearby structures, and meeting occupational health regulations for the potash industry.

Heavy Duty Hopper Feeder
Corrosion-resistant heavy duty hopper feeder for controlled potash feeding to flotation cells, crushers, compactors, and load-out systems. Stainless steel contact surfaces and HDPE liners resist potassium chloride attack, while variable speed drives ensure precise feed rates for consistent processing. Dust-tight covers with corrosion-resistant seals prevent potash dust escape and moisture absorption that causes caking and handling blockages.

Chloride Corrosion Expertise
HDPE rollers, stainless steel contact surfaces, galvanized structures, and marine-grade coatings throughout — our potash handling equipment withstands aggressive potassium chloride attack for decades, where standard steel equipment corrodes and fails within months of exposure.
Moisture-Proof Conveying
Enclosed pipe conveyors, dust-tight covers, and sealed transfer points protect hygroscopic potash from rain, humidity, and snow. Prevents the aggressive caking and clumping that clogs chutes, blocks conveyors, and causes costly production stoppages in the potash supply chain.
Potash Dust Containment
Enclosed conveying systems, dust extraction at transfer points, and sealed loading spouts control corrosive potash dust — protecting workers from respiratory exposure, preventing structural corrosion on nearby equipment and buildings, and meeting stringent occupational health regulations for the potash mining industry.
Gentle Crystal Preservation
Low-speed spiral conveyors, controlled discharge designs, and precise stacking systems minimize potash crystal degradation — preserving the sizing specifications essential for premium fertilizer markets and reducing dust generation that creates downstream handling problems.
Potash Handling in Action: Laos 2M TPY Potash Project
ZOOMRY has successfully delivered specialized potash handling equipment for challenging environments. Our project portfolio includes proven solutions tailored to the unique demands of potassium chloride handling — from corrosion-resistant long-distance conveyors to intelligent PLC-controlled systems for continuous, reliable operation.
Zhongnong International Laos 2M TPY Potash Expansion Project
ZOOMRY delivered a 3km extendable belt conveyor system for the Zhongnong International potash expansion project in Thakhek, Laos. The project required a complete long-distance conveying solution from mine to processing plant, handling corrosive and hygroscopic potash at 400 t/h. ZOOMRY engineered a customized system featuring a three-layer anti-corrosion coating (epoxy zinc-rich primer + epoxy micaceous iron oxide intermediate + polyurethane topcoat, ≥260μm total dry film thickness), fully enclosed protective covers to prevent moisture ingress, 304 stainless steel for all material-contact components, and PLC centralized control with remote monitoring. The system successfully replaced truck haulage, significantly reducing transport costs while meeting Laos' environmental dust emission standards — enabling the customer's capacity expansion to 2 million tons per year.
