Filters and Clarifies Liquids and Slurries
Kovalus Separation Solutions offers the ROMICON® and ROMIPRO™ Hollow Fiber Membrane Filtration Cartridges, designed for effective filtration and clarification across various industries, including dairy, food, beverage, and life sciences. The ROMICON® cartridges feature a crossflow hollow fiber design that efficiently manages continuous filtration tasks, offering inside-out fiber structures for optimal separation performance. These cartridges serve applications like cheese production, protein fractionation, and beverage clarification, meeting both USDA and FDA compliance standards.
ROMIPRO™ cartridges are specifically crafted to meet stringent pharmaceutical regulations, being USP Class VI compliant, and are accompanied by a Certificate of Quality. They suit pharmaceutical and cosmetic applications, ensuring the highest purity levels.
Engineered for robust use, these cartridges maintain excellent control of transmembrane pressure (TMP), ensuring demanding fractionations are handled efficiently. Options are available for handling liquids and slurries with various fiber lumen sizes, enhancing versatility in processes such as protein recovery and endotoxin removal.
Designed for easy integration into automatic systems, these cartridges support continuous operations and are backwashable, providing high cleanability and reduced maintenance. They are also available in corrosion-resistant materials and can be customized with various process sizes to fit specific plant needs.
