Hard Water Treatment in Food & Beverage Industry Facilities
Good Food & Soft DrinksWithout the Limescale
Whether you’re involved in processing foods or beverages, starting with purified water is imperative. Hard water affects approximately 90% of facilities like yours, however, causing issues such as limescale buildup in plumbing systems. American Valve proudly presents ScaleRx, an innovative zero-maintenance scale inhibitor that effectively treats hard water, preventing limescale formation in pipes, filters, and water-using appliances.
By incorporating ScaleRx into your facility, you can extend the lifespan of your water system and appliances, reduce maintenance downtime, increase energy efficiency, and improve product quality. When it comes to beverage production, limescale is unwelcome. Eliminate it with ScaleRx.
ScaleRx Limescale Prevention for Cost Efficiency
To combat hard water challenges, you might currently rely on a water softener, which demands substantial labor, salt, and maintenance. Enter ScaleRX, American Valve’s innovative maintenance-free scale inhibitor solution engineered to provide a robust defense against hard water deposits in your water lines, equipment, and finished product.
ScaleRx effectively addresses hard water problems by preventing limescale formation in your piping system and other critical beverage production equipment. By integrating ScaleRx into your facility, you can significantly extend the lifespan of equipment, reduce maintenance expenses, and enhance energy efficiency.
Our ScaleRx solutions enhance the efficiency and reliability of your equipment, effectively managing hard water and limescale buildup in your equipment. By addressing limescale issues with ScaleRx, you can optimize the performance and longevity of your food and beverage production equipment and process water in a way that ensures the consistent quality of your products. ScaleRx is a wise investment, providing immediate ROI as well as long-term cost savings, and it contributes to a more sustainable and efficient water management strategy for your beverage production process.

Your Pain Points, Our Solutions
4000 Series Valve Advantages
One of the primary concerns with traditional valves lies in their susceptibility to leaks. Gate and butterfly valves have obstructions and exposed seating surfaces that accumulate minerals and debris. Over time seals become compromised, leading to leaks and inefficiency. 4000 Series ball valves from American Valve are free of obstructions and feature a patented PFA*-fused solid metal ball. This means that you can trust these valves to maintain a positive shutoff, eliminating the risks associated with damaging leaks and expensive maintenance operations to “exercise” valves periodically.
The 4000 Series stands out for its reliable ease of operation, a crucial feature for facility management teams who often need to make valve adjustments quickly. The non-stick lubricity of a PFA*-fused ball allows maintenance teams to act quickly and efficiently without the need of cheater bars or come-alongs to operate valves. This ease of use not only enhances the overall efficiency of your systems but also minimizes the downtime associated with maintenance tasks.
American Valve pioneered the process to fuse PFA* .008” into a solid metal ball, providing exceptional durability and resistance to corrosion even where acidic waste is present—a common reason for valve failure. With a cast iron ball used in a cast iron body and a stainless steel ball inside a ductile iron or stainless steel body, 4000 Series ball valves can be used in applications where thermal expansion causes dissimilar metals to fail.
4000 Series ball valves have the same flange dimensions, bolt patterns, and ANSI B16.10 end-to-end dimensions to seamlessly replace any 125/150 class gate valve. The 4000 Series is also lighter and takes up less space. With a full port design, you won’t need to worry about flow restriction, providing a more efficient and modern solution tailored to the specific needs of food and beverage facility management.
