    The Challenge

    Scale build-up can increase energy consumption or block drains, while chlorine, chloramines, and chlorides may increase equipment corrosion, meaning more service calls and reduced service life.

    In your industry, you rely on your valuable equipment to perform at a high level at all times. Downtime for repairs can impact the quality of your product, and replacement costs could affect your bottom line. Chloramine is known to be corrosive and can damage equipment using water, including steamers, combi-ovens, coffee and tea brewers and espresso machines. The 3M™ High Flow CLX Series gives you the industry's highest chlorine and chloramine reduction* in one easy-to-use solution.

    Finding the right 3M™ Water Filter for your steam equipment.

    Hard water is especially problematic for combi ovens and steamers. When hard water is converted to steam, it leaves impurities behind. Over time, you’ll notice hard scale build-up, increased operating costs and maintenance downtime. With a wide array of filter types available, it can be daunting to decide which filter is most appropriate.

    Consider the following to help you find the right water filtration system for steam equipment:
     

    • Size and type of equipment equipment (flash steamer, proofer, combi oven, number of water connections to the steamer, etc)
    • Your peak period for water demand
    • Water usage during the peak period and for the entire day
    • Local water conditions (TDS, hardness and minimum water temperature)
    • Water-pressure of your incoming water supply
