NWS20 600K Twin Alt System w/5060 BT
The problem
Hard water in meat and poultry processing plants causes scale buildup on boilers, cooling systems, and crucial process equipment.
This scaling insulates heat-transfer surfaces, clogs spray nozzles, and fouls membranes, leading to costly downtime and increased maintenance.
How it works — the softening resin that fixes it
The twin 600,000-grain NWS20 tanks use premium softening resin to remove hardness minerals from water continuously.
A Nelsen 2" Motorized Alternating Valve switches tanks seamlessly, while a 2" stainless steel electronic meter triggers regeneration precisely at demand, ensuring optimal salt and water efficiency at this massive scale.
What it handles
Built for meat & poultry processing
In meat and poultry processing, water quality directly impacts food safety and equipment longevity.
The NWS20 600K Twin Alternating System is specifically designed for these high-demand environments, delivering continuous soft water to prevent scale formation on boilers, spray nozzles, and membranes critical to your process. Its large 600,000-grain capacity tanks and automated alternation ensure your facility never faces hard water interruptions, safeguarding production uptime and compliance.
Built on a genuine Nelsen valve — not a disposable clone
This system runs on a Nelsen control valve — the industry-standard brain of the system. Its parts are stocked by water dealers nationwide and stay available for decades, so a worn seal or piston is a quick, low-cost rebuild — never a throwaway. For a meat & poultry processing where downtime is expensive, that serviceability is the whole point. We never build on unbranded clone heads that strand you when they fail.
Genuine, serviceable, warrantied — a system you keep for 15 years instead of replacing in four.
