The Challenge
- Dairy heat exchanger scale and limescale increased the cleaning burden
- The milk line required acid cleaning twice every week
- Each clean used a full dose of phosphoric acid
- Milk scale accumulated on the plate-pack heat exchanger
- Cleaning shutdowns cost operator time and lost production
The Solution
Four HydroFLOW® units were installed across the factory — three on water feeds and one HydroFLOW® C45 on the milk line ahead of the plate-pack heat exchanger. The scale-related cleaning burden dropped: the milk line went from two cleans a week to one, and each of those cleans needed half the phosphoric acid it had before.
Testimonial
“HydroFLOW® has proved effective protection against our biggest production headache. I was so impressed with it that I’ve had the domestic version fitted to my water system at home.” — Peter Timotheou, Director, Tims Dairy
