VT Pipe
Casa Grande, AZ
Indu Installation | Commercial Line
Overview:
VT Pipe was experiencing persistent scale-related issues within its production line water system. High mineral content led to buildup affecting components critical to manufacturing operations. Vulcan Water Products partnered to provide a non-chemical, non-invasive solution capable of addressing scale without disrupting operations.
Challenge:
Hard water conditions resulted in mineral scale accumulation within the production water system, most notably impacting spray nozzles used along the manufacturing line. High mineral content in the supply water led to calcium carbonate buildup affecting spray nozzles and process components critical to manufacturing operations. Scale accumulation reduced spray effectiveness, increased cleaning frequency, and introduced variability into production conditions. Scale buildup restricted flow, distorted spray patterns, and required frequent manual cleaning to maintain consistent operation. Traditional treatment options would have required chemicals, filtration, or ongoing service intervention, increasing operational complexity and risk of process interference.
Solution:
Vulcan Water Products installed an S500 Vulcan electronic anti-scale system on the water supply feeding the production line. The Vulcan system uses electronic impulse technology to influence the crystallization behavior of dissolved calcium carbonate minerals in the water. Instead of forming hard, adherent scale on internal surfaces and spray components, the minerals convert into stable, non-adhesive micro-crystals that remain suspended in the water and are carried through the system without attaching to nozzles, piping, or process equipment. The installation was completed without interrupting production, required no plumbing modifications, and did not alter water chemistry.
Results:
