The BERKEFELD PurBev® Softener is a water softening plant engineered according to hygienic design guidelines food and beverage production.
Overview
The fully automatic unit features flow control for alternate operation, counter-current regeneration and economic brine consumption with the lowest water losses.
Applications
- Supply of soft water for utility processes (e.g. cooling, boiler feed, CIP, bottling areas)
- Reduction of hardness/carbonate scaling
- Improvement of product quality in food production processes (spirits, food, etc.)
Benefits
- Hygienic frontal piping and sanitary disc valves
- Minimal water demands per regeneration
- Lowest salt and water demand due to counter-current BerCoRe regeneration process
- Safe and reliable operation and regeneration due to a fully automatic control system
