APPLICATIONS
The B&P UF 200 ultrafiltration
system has been designed for use with food processing technology.
The UF 200 is mainly used for filtering juices such as apple, pear,
berry and stone fruit juices, as well as fruit wines.
OPERATION
PRINCIPLE
The UF 200 is a patented and fully
automatic cross-flow filtration system with certificate of
innovation issued by the European Certification Centre. The tank in
the circulation unit consists of 3 chambers: two chambers are used
as a batch tank, while the third chamber is used for the finished
product (permeate).
A feed pump is used to pump the raw
juice from the raw juice tanks into the batch chambers. A
re-circulating pump pumps the raw juice (retentate) at a high rate
through the modules. In this process, a thin and homogenous coat is
formed on the membrane surface. A portion of the fluid penetrates
the membranes and is pumped as the finished product (permeate) into
the permeate chamber. During the sequential double batch process
(SDV), the retentate is condensed automatically at cyclic intervals
in the batch tanks until it reaches a maximum concentration. As
soon as the maximum concentration of solids is reached, the
retentate can undergo diafiltration in order to maximize the
product yield.
All filtration processes are
managed by a program developed by B&P and can be conveniently
controlled via a 17” touch panel.
