Industrial filter drum for whey extraction

Streamline your cheese production with a rotary drum filter designed to efficiently separate whey from curd, ensuring high-quality end products like ricotta and paneer while preserving curd integrity without external pressure.

Separates and Transports Curd for Dairy Production

The Filter Drum from Uzermak is a crucial component in the dairy and food processing industries, designed to efficiently separate whey from curd while minimizing curd damage through a gentle transport on a rotating drum surface. Capable of processing up to 25,000 liters per hour, this equipment plays a vital role in producing whey protein concentrate, cream cheese, Greek yogurt, and other dairy products.

The drum operates with a diameter of Ø625 mm and a length of 1150 mm, featuring an adjustable rotation speed between 0-10 rpm, allowing precise control over filtration processes. Its energy-efficient motor requires only 1.5 kW, contributing to reduced operational costs. The integrated CIP pump supports a throughput of 30 tons per hour, ensuring swift cleaning cycles that maintain hygiene standards and reduce maintenance downtime.

Built for continuous high-speed operations, the Filter Drum easily integrates into existing production lines, providing seamless upstream and downstream connectivity. The equipment is also equipped with an emergency button on the electrical panel for enhanced safety standards. Suitable for environments demanding robust and reliable filtration solutions, the Filter Drum from Uzermak is a strategic choice for optimizing dairy processing operations.
