Since 1920, Salles Frères has been a pillar of the regional olive industry. Facing scale buildup in their production lines, the family-owned business turned to Vulcan to protect their equipment and maintain the highest quality of their 100% Made in France products.
Salles Frères has been a specialist in olive processing for over a century. As a key player in the Regional Olive sector since 1920, they produce 100% Made in France products with a catalog exceeding 400 items.
Their portfolio includes olives, gherkins, capers, dried tomatoes, garlic, peppers, and a renowned line of spreads such as green and black tapenade, eggplant caviar, and confinade. Operating under three brands—La Colombe (since 1920), Les Jardins de St Benoit, and Les Jardins de Gellone—Salles Frères exports to eight countries across three continents.

In the food confectionery industry, water quality directly impacts product consistency and equipment longevity. Salles Frères encountered several issues related to hard water:
Rapid limescale buildup in pipes feeding washing and rinsing tanks for olives and vegetables.
Frequent clogging of nozzles in spray systems used for brining and marinating.
Reduced heat exchange efficiency in hot water boilers used for pasteurization processes.
Increased downtime for manual descaling of mixing vessels used for tapenades and spreads.
The facility required a solution that would not introduce chemicals or salts into their production water, ensuring their "Organic," "Vegan," and "Gluten-free" certifications remained uncompromised.
