Water conditioning dosing system fitted at Cranswick Foods

Hugh Crane recently fitted a water conditioning dosing system to pre-dose a hot water system storage tank to reduce the build up of scale.

Water conditioning is crucial in food factories to reduce scale build up, ensuring efficiency, hygiene and equipment longevity. Here's why it matters

• Prevents Scale Formation - Hard water contains calcium and magnesium, which form limescale in pipes, boilers, heat exchangers and steam systems. Scale reduces heat transfer efficiency, increases energy consumption, and can cause equipment failure.
• Maintains equipment efficiency - Scale build up in boilers, cooling systems, and steam generators reduces their efficiency, leading to higher energy costs and potential downtime.
• Ensures Food Safety and Quality - Scale can harbour bacteria, leading to contamination risks. Clean water is essential for food processing, cleaning, and sterilisation.
• Reduces Maintenance Costs - Regular descaling and repairs due to hard water damage can be costly. Water conditioning minimises these expenses.
• Improves Cleaning Effectiveness - Conditioned water enhances detergent and disinfectant performance, ensuring proper sanitation of equipment and surfaces.
• Regulatory Compliance - Food factories must adhere to strict hygiene and safety regulations. Proper water treatment helps maintain compliance with industry standards.
• Extends Equipment Lifespan - Reducing scale buildup prevents wear and tear on critical equipment, extending it's operational life.

This system uses Hugh Crane water conditioner, an advanced solution designed to prevent scale buildup in food factories by treating hard water at its source. Preventing limescale deposits from forming in pipes, boilers, and steam systems. This ensures optimal heat transfer efficiency, reduces energy consumption, and extends the lifespan of critical equipment. By maintaining clean water flow, the system enhances cleaning and sanitation processes, improving hygiene and food safety. The Hugh Crane water conditioner also supports compliance with industry regulations, reducing maintenance costs and downtime while promoting sustainable water management in food production environments.
