Cotto Tiles case study

Magcat stopped scale and removed existing deposits in Cotto Tiles’ cooling system within six months.

Client: Cotto Tiles
Region: Thailand
Application: Cooling water for tile mould machines
Sector: Cement & ceramics manufacturing
Product: Magcat water conditioner

Cotto Tiles, part of the Thai Cement group, manufactures ceramic tiles using mould machines cooled by a recirculating water system. The cooling circuit was suffering from both silica and calcium deposition, which were made worse by oil contamination in the water.

The challenge

Persistent scale deposits inside pipelines and cooling circuits

Heavy contamination with oil made treatment more complex

Multiple chemical and non-chemical treatment methods had been attempted, but none had worked

Scale build-up was reducing cooling efficiency and creating ongoing maintenance costs

The solution

A Magcat conditioner was installed on the cooling water circuit supplying the mould machines. The unit was sized to treat the full system flow, targeting both new scale prevention and gradual removal of existing deposits.
