Microfiltration system for dairy and plant-based applications
Enhance your production capacity and reduce waste with advanced microfiltration, optimizing separation and clarification for superior end-product quality in dairy and plant-based processing.
Processes and Clarifies Dairy and Plant-Based Liquids
The Microfiltration (MF) Membrane Filtration System from APV is engineered to enhance the quality and yield of dairy and plant-based beverages. Utilizing ceramic and polymer membranes, this system efficiently separates non-dissolved particles, bacteria, and spores through debacterisation, fractionation, and clarification processes. Ideal for applications such as skim milk, whey, cheese milk, and almond milk, it supports continuous, automated operations with operator-friendly controls. Pre-assembled for seamless integration, the system offers robust ceramic membranes for long lifespan and minimal maintenance. With proven components and an energy-efficient design, it reduces waste by valorizing sub-products and recovering water, meeting rigorous industry standards. Optional SW polymer membranes and custom process configurations provide flexibility to meet diverse production needs.
