Reverse osmosis system for dairy and plant-based processing
Enhance your production line with high-pressure reverse osmosis, designed to effectively concentrate dairy and plant-based beverages, ensuring efficient pre-concentration and purification, while minimizing energy use and transport costs.
Concentrates and Purifies Dairy and Plant-Based Liquids
The Reverse Osmosis (RO) Membrane Filtration System is engineered for efficiency in dairy and plant-based processing applications. Utilizing a dense membrane composition and high-pressure operation, it effectively separates water from dissolved and suspended solids, enabling high levels of concentration and purification in liquids and slurries.
Applications include concentrating whey protein, lactose-free milk, and plant-based beverage solutions, with the potential to enhance nutritional profiles, such as producing high-protein milk concentrates. Its integration allows pre-concentration of fluids to minimize transport costs and facilitates downstream processes like evaporation.
With operational pressures reaching up to 40 bar, this system is designed for continuous processing, ensuring minimal downtime and maintenance. The unit supports energy efficiency and operator-friendly interfaces, reducing the carbon footprint while maintaining high-performance membrane life.
Constructed for versatility, it handles various product types and sizes, offering customization in material choice to withstand different chemical environments, including high-grade stainless steel options. Intelligent control systems integrate seamlessly with existing production lines, allowing for remote monitoring and automation enhancements.
Compliant with industry standards, the system delivers robust processing capabilities while providing CIP (Clean-In-Place) features that streamline maintenance and ensure hygiene standards are met, aligning with sustainability goals across dairy and plant-based production environments.
