Membrane filtration unit for dairy applications
In dairy processing, achieving high solids concentration efficiently is crucial. Conventional methods can be energy-intensive and risk heat damage to the product. A compact, efficient solution is required to handle varied feedstocks while maintaining product integrity.
Concentrate dairy feedstocks with minimal thermal stress
The GEA EasyCon Filtration Unit is designed to concentrate dairy feedstocks using nanofiltration (NF) or reverse osmosis (RO) membrane technology. This plug-and-play unit is suitable for small-to-medium feed rates and can concentrate feed up to 25% total solids content. Operating at low temperatures around 10–15°C, it prevents thermal stress on the product. The EasyCon is frame-mounted for easy installation and includes filtration modules, pumps, instruments, a clean-in-place (CIP) system, and control technology for automatic operation. With capacities ranging from 2,000 to 32,000 liters per hour and a volumetric concentration factor of 4.0, it efficiently removes up to 1,500 liters of water per hour.
Benefits
