Brine production made simple, on specification and on budget

Brine, whether used to wet salt or as an anti-icer, is a highly effective and surprisingly economical solution for combating snow and ice issues on roadways. Now, Cargill Deicing Technology makes brine production more efficient and cost-effective with the unique AccuBrine automated brine maker. Available in four configurations to suit particular needs, the AccuBrine automated brine maker provides the benefits of brine use — with none of the typical production and supply headaches, according to Cargill.

The AccuBrine system allows users to consistently achieve ideal brine concentrations, and easily create “customized blends” using additives injected anywhere from 0% to 100%. Cargill’s research has shown that Municipalities and DOTs have found that costs are quickly recouped through reduced operational costs. What’s more, the AccuBrine automated brine maker is built to endure. Its low maintenance fiberglass construction is both reliable and durable.

The AccuBrine automatic brine maker features a programmable Logic Controller- the PLC initiates the production process while a patented sensing system monitors salinity levels. Product not at desired concentration will be sent back to the salt tank. Features also include an Accurate Data Tracking system allowing the PLC to track daily and seasonal data including production volume, water, salt and additives usage, and operator hours. For rapid cleanout operators can simply open the cleaning valves and start to flush sediment through the built-in sump.

System Includes:

• Salt tank
• Control panel
• 1 Level Sensor: Measures volume in brine storage tank.
• LAN Access: Connects the AccuBrine to a customer’s local network and allows for remote access for monitoring and operation.
• Air Purge: Automatically purges plumbing lines to help avoid freezing.
• Warning Beacon: Informs operator of system faults.
• Roll Tarp: Prevents debris from contaminating the salt tank.
• Compact physical footprint
• Dimensions: Salt tank: 65.5”H x 125.5”W x 62.25”D. Control panel: 71”H x 33.5”W x 20”D
• Three AccuBrine Systems Available

AccuBrine RTF – Automated brine maker PLUS remote truck fill package

System operators can turn brine operations into a self-serve fill station. With the push of a single button, the remote truck fill option simplifies the process of loading finished brine into application vehicles. It eliminates the time-consuming manual labor of putting product in your truck tanks and gets you on the road applying quicker. What’s more, the data-logging feature uses RFID technology to automatically track each unique truck’s usage for easy inventory review — post-storm or post-season.

AccuBrine ABS – RTF PLUS additive blending system

The ABS allows operators to create custom blends of salt brine and various other liquids designed to augment the performance of anti-icers. Whether it is a liquid additive used to lower the freeze point of the finished product, or a corrosion inhibitor to help extend the life of the application equipment, the AccuBrine ABS automated brine maker does it at the touch of a button.

AccuBrine ABS2 – PLUS 2 additive blending systems

Users can take customized blends to the next level. The AccuBrine ABS2 automated brine maker allows for multiple additives to be blended into the finished product. This eliminates the headaches and manual labor involved in creating customized anti-icers. It also removes any guesswork and human error from manually measuring ingredients.
