Key results
$803 annual chemical savings
22% less milk scale remover
22-day chemical life vs 15

Case Study from K2 Group

The Challenges

  • Daily chemical cleaning needed after every milking session
  • High consumption of milk scale remover and alkaline cleaner
  • Extraordinary deep clean required every 21 days
  • Frequent corrective and preventive maintenance on the piping
  • Hygiene risk from inconsistent residue removal

The Solution

One HydroFLOW® S38 unit (currently known as i Range unit) was fitted to the cold water inlet of the electric water heaters serving the raw milk piping cleaning system in August 2022, on 1/2″ CPVC pipe with no shutdown required. The signal disrupts the conditions that bond milk scale to surfaces, so existing residue loosens during washing and new scale doesn’t build up between cleans.

Key Outcomes
