Integrated Solution – Thermaflo https://www.thermaflo.co.nz Liquid Food Process Systems Wed, 29 Jan 2025 20:42:26 +0000 en-NZ hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 https://www.thermaflo.co.nz/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/cropped-TF-Icon-32x32.png Integrated Solution – Thermaflo https://www.thermaflo.co.nz 32 32 Dynamic Crossflow Filter https://www.thermaflo.co.nz/equipment/dynamic-crossflow-filter/ Fri, 23 Aug 2024 03:01:49 +0000 https://www.thermaflo.co.nz/?post_type=product&p=16707 Pore sizes membranes/ filters:
  • Ceramic (asymmetric): Ultrafiltration 1–80 nm; microfiltration 0.2–2 µm
  • Metal: 1–200 µm
Membrane area: 0.03–32 m2 Processable viscosity: up to 7,000 mPas Crossflow velocity: up to 7.3 m/s Shear stress: up to 140,000 Pa Operating feed pressure: 0-6 bar (isobaric processing possible) Operating TMP: 0.3–2.0 bar (lower than other crossflow technologies) Applications: Dairy, clarification of wine/beer/juice, neutraceuticals and functional ingredients (proteins, enzymes), industrial fermentation (proteins, enzymes, yeast, E. coli), animal processing, bioprocess engineering products, chemical or solvent recovery    ]]>

Unlike traditional crossflow filtration methods, the Andritz Dynamic Crossflow Filter (DCF) can concentrate the retentate to achieve a pasty or sludge consistency – making it much more effective.

 

The overlapping ceramic membrane disks rotate in the same direction to create a turbulent crossflow without using a pump to circulate the rentate. The wall shear stress generated is 50% higher than found in conventional crossflow filters – greatly reducing the formation of a clogging layer, while substantially improving the filtration rate at the same time. This advantage is most evident when dealing with high-viscosity retentates.

The system can calculate and automatically adjust the fat content based on different parameters.

Lattomatic enables accurate dosing of cream to the skimmed milk flow and thus, continuous production of fat-standardized milk. Surplus cream is discharged separately. With its high level of automation, parameter adjustments are possible during operation without stopping the process. The touchscreen panel is user-friendly, easy to set up, and allows direct control of all operations. Signal exchange and operating modes (CIP, water, product) can be changed easily using the control system. Lattomatic can be used to upgrade milk skimming separators and be integrated into existing systems as well as new installations.
