Maximize the performance of your membrane filtration systems and generate new revenue streams through the recovery of high-purity whey cream.
This system executes a coordinated sequence of unit operations designed to condition raw whey from the curd vat.
Through centrifugal clarification, precision skimming, and a high-temperature, short-time thermal treatment, the equipment eliminates the components that degrade membrane performance (solids, fats, and lactic bacteria).
The result is a biologically stable and physically clean raw material, ready for concentration or demineralization processes, ensuring a return on investment based on the reduction of cleaning shutdowns and the protection of costly components.
•Automatic Centrifugal Clarification: Mechanical removal of casein fines to prevent physical clogging of the spacer channels in filtration membranes.
•High-Efficiency Skimming (Residual fat <0.05%): Prevention of irreversible hydrophobic fouling on membranes and recovery of whey cream for sale or processing into butter.
•Pasteurization and pH Stabilization: Stopping lactic culture activity to prevent precipitation of calcium salts (calcium phosphate), eliminating the formation of mineral scale on equipment.
•Controlled Thermal Conditioning (10°C - 15°C): Precise regulation of outlet temperature to inhibit bacterial growth during extended production runs in nanofiltration systems.
