Microflow® XL-E Brine Crossflow Microfiltration Systems

Easy Choice for Cheese Makers

The Microflow XL-E Brine systems are specifically designed to meet needs and requirements of brine purification in modern cheese plants. Clarification is achieved without the need for filter aids or centrifuge. The fully automated Microflow system provides an environmentally friendly solution for longer brine life, with a reliable microbial stabilization which reduces the risk of cheese contamination from spoilage or pathogenic microorganisms during the brine salting process.

The system utilizes Pall's proven high area, hollow fiber membranes with unique mechanical strength and excellent chemical resistance, which allow high productivity and repeated exposure to aggressive cleaning regimes. When coupled with the user friendly software with cycle programming and a compact footprint, the Microflow XL-E Brine series is the easy solution for reliable cheese brine regeneration.

Benefits

With Pall's extensive experience in crossflow filtration of food and dairy streams and dedication to simplified process design and control logic, the Microflow XL-E Brine system incorporates unique features which enable dairies to perform clarification at low operating costs while providing constant and high brine filtrate quality.

These include:

  • PVDF membranes with high mechanical strength for longer service life
  • High area, high flow modules for more compact and more economical systems
  • Backpulse capability for increased system productivity
  • Hollow fiber membrane with 1.4 mm open channel for optimized cleaning
  • automated production and cleaning cycles for unattended operation and reduced labour and downtime
  • Transparent module housing to confirm filtrate quality and enhance troubleshooting capabilities
  • On board tanks, for easy cleaning, concentration and integration
  • User friendly interface and automated chemical dosing for reliable operation
