	NRDC Technology offer-FREE FLOWING IODISED SALT
		Common salt is always associated with many impurities and some of them are hygroscopic in nature and therefore when powdered to the requisite grain size it may not be free flowing which is a much required property.
		The salt obtained by this process is a free flow iodised salt which is almost similar to physical as well as chemical properties to salt obtained by forced evaporation techniques.
		The process involves loading of the raw salt to grinders, washing in a wash column, draining of wash liquor, submerging washed salt crystals in solution containing iodating and anticaking chemicals, loading of wet washed salt to mechanical devices, removal of solution from salt in mechanical devices, drying, sieving and packing.

		Therefore, choosing iodised salt as the vehicle and extending its use in measured steps is a strategy consistent with the experience of the worldwide campaign to virtually eradicate the scourge of IDD.
		Since the critical supplemental iodine in all these countries comes from iodised salt, the explanation for the decline is straightforward: consumers are preparing less food at home now than a half century ago; a greater portion of their food intake comes from foods processed commercially or cooked in restaurants for dine-in or take-away consumption.
