Cotto Tiles case study
Magcat stopped scale and removed existing deposits in Cotto Tiles’ cooling system within six months.
Client:Â Cotto Tiles
Region:Â Thailand
Application:Â Cooling water for tile mould machines
Sector:Â 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.
Results
Scale deposition stopped entirely following installation
Within six months, 70% of existing scale deposits had been removed
Cooling efficiency improved, reducing energy and maintenance costs
A simple, chemical-free solution that continued to provide long-term system protection
Prior to installation
6 months of Magcat treatment with over 70% scale removed
