Weingut Adam Müller: German Winery Replaces Salt-Based Softener with Vulcan at Wine Filling Station – No Scale at 14-90°C

Weingut Adam Müller in Leimen, Germany, successfully replaced their salt-based water softener with a Vulcan system at their wine filling station. Operating at 8 m³/h with water hardness of 25-28 °dH and temperatures ranging from 14°C to 90°C, they report no scale deposits—even in the critical warm water and alkaline zones of the cleaning machine.

About Weingut Adam Müller

Weingut Adam Müller is a German winery located in Leimen, a town in the Baden-Württemberg region. Like all wineries, maintaining impeccable hygiene and equipment performance is essential for wine quality and production efficiency.

The winery operates a wine filling station with a cleaning machine that must operate flawlessly to ensure bottles and equipment are properly sanitized. Previously, they relied on a salt-based water softener to protect this equipment from scale. However, they made the strategic decision to replace it with Vulcan's chemical-free technology—a move that has proven successful.
