USED Snowex Brine Pro 2000 Electric Brine Maker Liquid Salt

Here is a Used Snowex Brine Maker This is the Brine Pro 2000. These units are not easy to find. This is an Automated Brine maker, It is in good condition has an upgraded pump on it. 

The SnowEx Brine Pro 2000 is a Brine Maker system designed specifically for independent contractors or Municipalities to make the process of finding brine easier and more reliable. It is a user-friendly brine making system which removes unnecessary sophistication and guesswork, letting you confidently take brine making into your own hands. A simple garden hose attachment and 220VAC are all you need to run this machine, which almost every shop has available.

How do you make brine?

The Brine Pro 2000 has three modes, Automatic, Batch, and Cleaning, which are selected with a user-friendly, intuitive, multilingual digital control. For the brine to be effective, it must have the right amounts of salt and water. The Brine Pro 2000 comes with an automatic salinity control meaning less work and more time for you.

Salt is first added to the dry poly hopper on top. This prevents splashing, as you do not add salt directly to the mixing chamber. The hopper holds 1 cubic yard or 27 cubic feet (.764555 Cu. Meters). The hopper has a 5/16" steel rod top screen with a grid pattern which offers visual salt level indication, helping you know when to refill.

A good brine mixture is made by adding salt at a specific rate. To accomplish this, the Brine Pro 2000 comes with a rotary vane feeder which measures out the right amount of salt before passing it on to the grinder.

The built-in hammer mill grinds the material into consistent sized particles before being added to the mixing chamber, thus accelerating the dissolve rate and expediting the clean-up process afterwards.

The polyethylene mixing tank holds 265 gallons and contains a high volume centrifugal circulation pump (5 hp single phase and 210 gpm). The pump ensures that the brine is a uniform mixture. It can mix brine at a rate of 1,050 gallons per hour (3,974.7 liters). Between batches, the cleaning mode will drain the mixing chamber.

After mixing the brine, it is sent to the 285 gallon brine tank for temporary storage before you pump it to your spraying system or to a storage tank. The brine tank is also poly and built with a sloped bottom for easy clean-out.

At a salinity level of 23.3%, 1 ton of salt will produce 870 gallons of brine (or 1.01605 MT to 3,293.32 L). For best results, use pure white salt with no additives.

Other Key Features:

• Dimensions of 100" x 89" x 86"

• 1 hp discharge pump, greater than 66 gpm at 10' head height and fully stainless steel
• Toroidal conductivity salinity sensor
• Powder coated steel frame with stainless steel components
• Vibrator that uses standard, industrial electric 220V

Accessories to go with your Brine Pro 2000 include a 25' Transfer Hose Assembly (EHA-250) to transfer brine to holding tanks and sprayers,  Gas Engine Transfer Pump (TPS-200) which works with the Transfer Hose Assembly to transfer the brine to storage tanks and sprayers, a 3000 Gallon Brine Storage Tank (VTA-500), and a 5000 Gallon Brine Storage Tank (VTA-500).

Statistics show that falls caused by improperly treated icy surfaces account for the second highest number of lawsuits, second only to auto accidents.  For this reason, it is of prime importance to your company to make sure that you get the job done right the first time. Studies have shown that treating ice with a brine mixture or a pre-wetted mixture is superior to dry ice-melting materials when it comes to anti-icing and post-treatment. In addition, it saves your company money by significantly reducing the amount of salt used.

Using a dry salt mixture, the average contractor will need .75 tons (1,500 pounds) of salt to melt an acre of pavement, or $52.50 per acre and $70 per ton. However, using a salt brine, a contractor will only use 150 gallons an acre (345 pounds) which is equivalent to $12 per acre or 80 cents per gallon. This is a reduction of 77% per acre.

In addition, using bagged ice pellets will cost an average of $8 for 50 lbs ($3.20 per square foot),  whereas using a salt brine will only cost .08¢ per gallon or .32¢ a square foot. This is a reduction of 90%.

Keep in mind that for a more efficient and cost effective ice treatment it is ideal to treat surfaces before the ice forms, thus reducing the bond ice will make with the surface. Ice melted from the bottom up will melt faster than from the top down, and it will take up to 4 times the amount of salt to melt the ice afterwards. This is one more great way to save on salt costs and time and ensure a slip-free surface for your customers, not to mention wear and tear on your equipment.

You can refer to the charts below for measuring the salinity of your brine. Notice that the ideal concentration is at the eutectic point, the point at which your brine will have the lowest freezing temperature - approximately 23.3%.
