Cotto Tiles faced a complex cooling system challenge where both scale and oil contamination made treatment difficult.
As part of the Thai Cement group, the plant relies on mould machines cooled by a recirculating water system. The circuit suffered from silica and calcium deposits, made worse by heavy oil contamination. Various chemical and non-chemical treatments had been tried previously, but none were successful.
A Magcat water conditioner was installed on the cooling circuit, sized to manage the full system flow and target both new and existing scale.
After six months, the results showed:
Scale deposition stopped completely.
70% of existing scale was removed.
Cooling efficiency improved across the machines.
Energy and maintenance costs were lowered.
Continuous protection was achieved without the need for chemicals.
This case highlights how Magcat performs in demanding ceramics manufacturing environments where conventional methods fail.
