Plant-based protein extraction technology
Achieve optimal purity in plant-based milk, yogurt, and cheese production with cutting-edge extraction and filtration technology designed for precise protein isolation and formulation.

Extracts and Processes Plant-Based Proteins
The Membrane Filtration and Vegan Protein Extraction System from ALPMA Alpenland Maschinenbau GmbH integrates cutting-edge membrane filtration with efficient extraction processes, enabling precise protein separation and purification. Designed for dairy and plant-based food producers, this system is essential for producing high-quality soy milk, almond milk, and other plant-based beverages, alongside vegan cheese and yogurt alternatives.
Using a combination of microfiltration, ultrafiltration, and fermentation, the system efficiently processes liquids and solids while ensuring consistent product quality. Its scalable design supports both pilot and industrial-scale operations, with throughput capacities catering to varying production needs. PLC-controlled, the system offers seamless integration into existing production lines, featuring remote monitoring for enhanced oversight.
Built with energy-efficient components, the system reduces operational costs by optimizing motor speeds, while its construction from stainless steel ensures durability and corrosion resistance. It complies with industry standards for hygiene and safety and includes a CIP (Clean-In-Place) system for effortless maintenance. Tailored engineering support is available for customization, addressing specific operational requirements.
