Lab-scale filtration system for micro- and ultrafiltration
Simplify complex microfiltration and ultrafiltration tasks with a versatile benchtop system designed for easy setup and high adaptability, ensuring efficient process development and seamless integration into existing workflows.
Enables Continuous Filtration and Membrane Screening
The Vibro-Lab3500 from SANI Membranes is a versatile benchtop vibro membrane filtration system designed for precise microfiltration and ultrafiltration needs. Utilizing patented Vibro® technology, it simplifies continuous filtration by eliminating the need for crossflow pumps, reducing setup complexity and operational footprint. Ideal for applications in algae, biotech, pharmaceuticals, and dairy, it efficiently processes Spirulina extracts, omega-3 supplements, and other liquid products. With a membrane area of 3500 cm² and a drainable working volume of up to 600 mL, the system supports small to pilot-scale operations, capable of handling volumes from 2 to 100 liters. Its transparent housing allows for easy inspection and monitoring of the membrane performance, while quick membrane replacement facilitates rapid adaptation to different process needs. The Vibro-Lab3500’s modular design integrates seamlessly into existing laboratory and production environments, allowing for easy connections and minimal downtime.
