How to choose food and beverage filtration equipment?

Filtration is an integral part of food and beverage processing and directly affects the appearance and taste of products. The selection of filter equipment is a subject that must be studied by the manufacturer. 

Factors affecting turbidity of food and beverage:

1 Solids and suspended solids in raw materials are caused by turbidity.

2 Poor water quality, calcium, magnesium, iron and other precipitation caused by turbidity after heating.

3 Turbidity caused by macromolecular proteins.

Filter method selection:

1 Coarse filtration

A coarse filter is the first step in a filtration system for food and beverage processing, primarily to remove larger particles and suspended solids.The coarse filter generally uses the bag filter, USES the 100-300 mesh nylon bag. The coarse filter will still become turbid and precipitate after placing. This connection is low-cost and provides protection for subsequent fine filters, extending the service life of fine filter equipment.

2 Fine filter

Fine filters are an important part of the food and beverage processing filtration system to remove fine particles above 0.1 micron.Fine filters generally use microporous filter cartridge filter housing, diatomite filter.Fine filter products are clear and transparent, but some products will still have some small floc after crossing the net with large molecules, which requires more complex filter link-ultrafiltration.

3 Ultrafiltration

Ultrafiltration is a complementary part of the food and beverage processing filtration system, mainly used to remove large molecular particles.Generally use RO membrane filter cartridge. Fine filters can remove large molecular particles of 0.0001 micron. Clarification after ultrafiltration also removes some protein nutrients from the product. High cost of use.

Selection of filter equipment and consumables:

1 Stainless steel cylinder body process requirements: mirror polishing, weld for one-time welding double forming, no sanitary dead Angle.

2 Process requirements for filter consumables: The consumables used for filtration must meet the requirements of food contact materials.
