Vulcan S150 Units

Company: Froneri Finland (Pingviini brand)

Location: Turenki ice cream factory, Janakkala, Finland

Status: One of the largest and most modern ice cream factories in the Nordic countries

Froneri Ice Cream Factory

The Challenge

The factory has one tank and six pipes that carry water to the roof at all times. Pumps cool things as needed. Protecting these critical water lines from scale is essential for continuous ice cream production.

The Solution: 6 Vulcan S150 Units

Individual Units

Installation: 2 x Vulcan S150 Anti-Scale Systems

Single units protecting key water lines.

Twin Sets

Installation: 4 x Vulcan S150 Twin Sets

Twin sets provide additional capacity and redundancy for critical applications.

Installation Approach

"There is one tank and six pipes that carry water to the roof at all times. We put one device and one coil in each pipe. The pumps cool things as needed."

Vulcan Model Used

This ice cream factory installed the Vulcan S150, ideal for large industrial applications with pipe diameters up to 8 inches and flow rates up to 790 GPM.

Installation Configuration

System Layout

  • One central tank feeds six pipes to the roof

  • Water flows continuously to support cooling needs

  • Each pipe received one Vulcan device with one coil

  • Total: 2 single S150 units + 4 S150 Twin Sets = 6 protected lines

This configuration ensures every drop of water circulating to the roof is treated, protecting all cooling equipment from scale buildup.
