The purification of ingredients and final products by the food and beverage
industry is essential to the production of consistent, high quality goods
demanded by the consumer.
Ecosorb products are used extensively in food and beverage processing
including purification and clarification of cane and beet sugar, soft
drink syrups, high fructose corn syrup, wine and juice, distilled spirits
and a variety of other products. Ecosorb products are used to reduce color,
undesirable tastes and odors, turbidity and removal of divalent cations
and anions.
Scepter stainless steel membranes play an important role in clarifying
raw cane sugar, as well as corn wet milling operations used to produce
high fructose sweeteners.
Scepter stainless steel crossflow membranes are widely used in
the food and beverage industry. All materials of construction are FDA
approved for food contact. The membranes can be aggressively chemically
cleaned and can be steam sterilized. The relatively large diameter tubes
and robust construction is ideal for processing high viscosity and high
solids fluids. Minimum pre-filtration. High recovery rates. Rapid cleaning.
Many years of trouble-free service. Proven applications include: Clarification
of starch hydrolysates; sugar juice and syrup; fruit and vegetable juice
and concentrates; wine and beer; still bottoms; caustic and acid CIP solutions;
bottle washing; fines recovery from centrifuge overflows; pre-RO; BOD/COD
from wastewaters.
Powerguard filter products are designed to achieve the critical
factors of freshness, flavor, appearance and taste in beer, wine, bottled
water, spirits and soft drinks. Final product consistency and stability
are assured by providing various media types with optimized surface area,
filter efficiency and capacity while maximizing economy.
Filtration Engineering brand PulseJet systems are self cleaning
and allow continuous use of pneumatic conveyance systems increasing productivity.
And the pleated filter cartridges are much more efficient and effective
than standard bag housings, so more product is recovered from the conveyed
stream, and less product is pulled into the vacuum pump or expelled by
the blower system. Filtration Engineering brand Mist Eliminators are the
most efficient means of controlling expensive pump oil by collecting it
and returning it back to the pump and also to act as a pump silencer.
Consler brand replacement filters help keep the air intakes and
compressed air lines performing efficiently.
