Laboratory crossflow filtration test system
Efficiently test and determine optimal filtration parameters with this portable crossflow system, ideal for analyzing complex suspensions and selecting appropriate filter media for diverse operations.
Performs Dynamic Crossflow Filtration for Small Samples
The BoCrossTest from BOKELA is an innovative laboratory-scale dynamic crossflow filtration device designed to evaluate filtration processes with small sample volumes. It distinguishes itself with its dynamic crossflow filtration technology, leveraging shear stress to prevent solid build-up on filter media. Applicable across industries like chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and ores and minerals, it effectively processes liquids, slurries, and cakes. BoCrossTest supports both batch and continuous operations, with flexible filter media options such as polymer membranes, metal mesh, and ceramic membranes. Its compact, portable design makes it ideal for laboratory settings, with easy integration into R&D and quality control departments. Operating under a maximum pressure of 10 bar and temperatures up to 170°C, it’s available in materials like stainless steel for enhanced corrosion resistance. Offering fast media changes and straightforward handling, the BoCrossTest supports extensive filtration testing, providing crucial data for optimizing industrial-scale processes and ensuring product purity.
