CERINOX® MF
Cross-flow Filtration Plant
With Ceramic Membranes For wine, cidre, fruit juice, vinegar and other food products
Characteristics
The CERINOX® is a compact cross-flow filtration plant equipped with ceramic tubular membranes. There are standard units available as well as custom-designed installations. Different automation levels are available, from manually controlled units up to fully automated plants.
The special design of the so-called dual-flow mo dules allows high packing density of filter surface, which leads to small footprints and lower heights of CERINOX® plants. Especially because of the latter, the CERINOX® is easy to maintain. Due to the compactness of the plant, its inner volume is small compared to the installed filter area. This leads to low water and energy consumption as well as low product losses. Tailor-made ceramic membranes guarantee high economical benefit and high filtrate quality. The high durability of the membranes, together with a well proven process based on 15 years of experience with more than 50 plants installed worldwide, lead to very reliable systems with very low demand for operator presence and maintenance. This makes the CERINOX® a standard solution for micro filtration of f ood products.
Working principle
The cross-flow principle as shown on the following picture is characterised by the flow directions of the unfiltered and filtered liquid, which are perpendicular to each other. The preferably-turbulent flow of the unfiltered liquid, which is parallel to the membrane’s surface, prevents particles from depositing on the membrane or carries away already deposited substances. Hence the throughput of filtered liquid through the membrane is kept high. A pressure gradient across the membrane forces the filtered liquid to penetrate the membrane.
