Microfiltration system

Solid-liquid separation for the pharmaceutical and food industries

The MFS is a compact, fully automatic filtration plant for solid-liquid separation.

The heart of the plant is a tubular stainless steel membrane. A layer of stabilization material is applied to the membrane surface for separation purposes. The choice of stabilization material depends on the liquid and/or solid being filtered. The layer of stabilization material enables a filtration process down to a level of 0.1 micron. Impurities are separated from the liquid within the stabilization material. As soon as the filtered liquid flow rate drops below a set level, the filtration process stops, and the layer of stabilization material is dried and automatically removed from the tubular stainless steel membrane. Subsequently, a new layer of stabilization material is applied, and filtration can begin again. The stabilization material can consist of (combinations of) the following substances, among others: cellulose, diatomaceous earth, zeolite, perlite, and activated carbon.
