Description
Cost Effective Design for Food
and Biopharmaceutical Applications
The new Membralox HCS module range takes advantage of the unique hexagonal shape of the Membralox ceramic membranes to obtain a high membrane packing density up to 240 m2/m3, thus significantly reducing filtration system costs. This new generation of Membralox HCS modules perfectly match reliability and cost requirements of the main applications in food and biopharmaceutical industries. Membralox HCS module range features internal gasketing and assembly designed according to high sanitary standard (3-A certified). Membralox filtration modules are the corner stone for process reliability. The Widest Separation Range
The exceptional structure of Membralox filtering elements has enabled the development of the widest range of micro and ultrafiltration ceramic membranes. A complete range of modules help for scale-up from laboratory separations to full size industrial needs.Cost Effective Separations
The remarkable physical and chemical stability of Membralox membranes allows reproducible performance over a long life - a key feature in a cost/benefit analysis proven in numerous industrial installations. Products in this datasheet may be covered by one or more patents, including EP 442,410; US 5,143,614.Specifications
