About Astrapin Pharma
Astrapin Pharma (Pharmazeutische Präparate Dr. Klaus Hoffmann GmbH & Co. KG) is a pharmaceutical manufacturer located in Pfaffen-Schwabenheim, Germany.
The Challenge
As a manufacturer of medicines, Astrapin required consistently high water quality for their distillation process. Previously, they relied on a salt-based water softener, which experienced failures causing water quality fluctuations.
Water softener failures eliminated
Installation Details
Location
Company: Astrapin Pharma
Location: Pfaffen-Schwabenheim, Germany

Original Testimonial
"Dear Sir or Madam,"
"We are using your water treatment system and would like to confirm that we are very satisfied with the system."
"As a manufacturer of medicines, we are particularly interested in a good water quality. We installed the water treatment system unit in the water pipe before our water distillation on a trial basis. For the test period we stopped the salt-based water softener."
"After weeks of trial operation, the water quality remained consistently good, whereas previously fluctuations were observed due to failures of the water softener."
"After several weeks, an inspection of the internal heating pipes of our distiller showed no scale deposits, which had previously led to reduced performance and the failure of several cardiac coils."
"After these positive results, we have decided to install your water treatment system centrally and hope for continued successful performance."
"With kind regards"

Protecting Critical Pharmaceutical Equipment
For pharmaceutical manufacturers, equipment failure is not just a cost issue – it can impact production schedules and product quality.
Before Vulcan:
- Scale deposits led to reduced performance of distiller
- Several cardiac coils failed due to scale buildup
- Water softener failures caused quality fluctuations
After Vulcan:
- No scale deposits in heating pipes
- Consistent water quality throughout trial
- Cardiac coils protected from failure
- Salt-based softener no longer needed
