Basic Features

• Easy to clean and backwashable, with strong regeneration capability

• Excellent microbial resistance – does not react with microorganisms

• Good chemical stability – resistant to acids, alkalis, and organic solvents

• High separation efficiency with simple process, minimal auxiliary equipment, low energy consumption, and easy operation

• Crossflow filtration with high membrane surface velocity reduces contaminant accumulation on the membrane surface and improves flux

Overview

This ceramic membrane pilot unit is particularly suitable for research institutes, universities, and manufacturing enterprises. It is widely used in pharmaceutical and bioengineering, food and beverage, chemical, powder processing, environmental protection, and other fields for experimental research in extraction, clarification, and impurity removal. It serves as a powerful tool for researchers and production personnel, capable of solving problems that traditional processes and equipment cannot address.

Our company offers dozens of models in this series, available with different filtration precisions and membrane types (ceramic or ceramic composite), to meet the varying requirements of different customers, systems, technical specifications, and processing capacities. The equipment has been successfully applied in many fields, including food, beverage, botanical/pharmaceutical processing, agricultural product processing, aquatic product processing, biopharmaceuticals, bio-fermentation, and fine chemicals, for clarification, sterilization, impurity removal, separation, and concentration processes.

Performance Description

Using this series of pilot equipment, critical process parameters and the effects of cleaning protocols on membrane flux and performance can be determined, yielding reliable experimental data. Scale-up to pilot and industrial production based on these results is fully dependable, as the process scale-up is purely physical. Our processes are mature, our technology advanced, and our engineering experience extensive.

All equipment is constructed from sanitary-grade stainless steel, ensuring no secondary contamination of the processed materials. The resulting product is of high quality with good long-term stability. The core ceramic membrane elements exhibit excellent regeneration performance and long service life. The system features a high degree of process integration, compact footprint, simple operation and maintenance, and low operating costs.
