The Mashhad Packaging
Industries Company in Iran
makes metal cans for
factories and food industries.
Its factory is in a hard water
area and limescale build up
around solenoid control
valves on a welding machine
used to weld can sides to
their base meant inaccurate
and inefficient welding
leading to damage to the
metal.
Following a successful
trial, two of Hydropath’s HS-
38 water conditioners were
fitted permanently.
The Hydroflow range will
fit pipe sizes to 5in nominal
bore size; custom units can
be ordered.
Hydropath technology
emits randomly varying
electric fields producing
nuclei throughout the water
system.When water is heated,
precipitate that is usually
deposited on hot surfaces
grows in suspension and
develops as a crystal on the
nuclei, which is then washed
away in the flow. Scale is
dissolved in just a few months.
It is over a year since the units
were installed and no limescale
problems have been reported.
