Nanofiltration system for dairy and plant-based applications
Enhance your production capacity with nanofiltration, ensuring superior concentration and demineralization in dairy and plant-based processes, maximizing yield and minimizing waste.
Concentrates and Demineralizes Dairy and Plant-Based Liquids
The Nanofiltration (NF) Membrane Filtration System from SPX Flow offers a versatile solution for dairy and plant-based beverage producers looking to enhance their production lines. This system uniquely combines concentration and partial demineralization, utilizing pressures up to 40 bar to optimize the extraction of small monovalent ions, while rejecting larger ions and organic compounds. It efficiently transforms inputs like skim milk, whey, and plant-based extracts into high-value products such as dairy protein concentrates and demineralized whey powder. Engineered for continuous, high-pressure operations, this system integrates seamlessly with ultrafiltration (UF) and reverse osmosis (RO) technologies for a comprehensive filtration suite. Its energy-efficient design reduces utility consumption, while the pre-assembled structure simplifies installation. High-quality materials ensure durability and compliance with industry standards, and the operator-friendly design facilitates easy maintenance with minimal downtime. Whether integrating into existing lines or deploying standalone, SPX Flow provides engineering support and customization options tailored to your specific processing requirements.
