Bucher Unipektin UltraStar XL filtration plant

Click2Contact

The Bucher Unipektin UltraStar XL has been designed for applications in the food industry. Due to its tubular membranes with large diameters it can clarify aqueous suspensions with medium to high suspended solids content.

The product is mainly used for the filtration of juices (apples, pears, berries, stone fruits, citrus fruits and pineapples), fruit wines and fermenter broths. It is a semi-continuous cross-flow filtration plant.

Any product that needs clarifying is circulated via a circulation tank through the inside of the ½″ diameter membrane tubes. A portion of the liquid phase then passes through the membrane and leaves the system as permeate.

Fresh product is continuously added into the circulation tank. As soon as the maximum concentration of suspended solids has been reached, the retentate can optionally be diafiltered (leached out with water) to maximise the yield.

Due to the modular design, a wide capacity range is covered. Membranes with different cut-offs enable adaptation to various applications. The integrated control system can manage the up- and downstream product tanks. It also features a hygienic design with automated CIP, including the circulation tank.
