Industrial bag filter for powder collection

Optimize powder yield and maintain strict hygiene with a high-capacity filtration system tailored for dairy and nutritional powders, ensuring efficient particle recovery and reduced emissions.

Filters and Recovers Dairy and Nutritional Powders

The Tetra Pak® Bag Filter is engineered to enhance efficiency and purity in powder processing for dairy and nutritional product manufacturers. Employing state-of-the-art automation, it integrates seamlessly into continuous, fully automatic operations, utilizing smart pulsing control to minimize operating costs and emissions. With airflow capacities ranging from 26,000 to 287,000 m³/h, it effectively manages filtration and recovery for whole milk powder, whey protein isolate, and more. Computational fluid dynamics optimize geometry and flow, ensuring energy efficiency and prolonging filter bag life. Its construction prioritizes hygiene with a unique cage locking system, and it supports clean-in-place (CIP) processes for efficient maintenance. The bag filter is also adaptable, featuring multiple inlets to reduce plant footprint and process adaptive pulsing to decrease compressed air consumption. Available in materials compliant with stringent food safety standards, it positions itself as a sustainable choice for modern processing lines.
