Industry solution
Hygienic filtration for syrups, juices and process solids
Stainless wetted parts and food-grade cloth for clarification and by-product recovery on food lines.
What makes this duty different
Three constraints that shape the specification
- 01
Clarification must stay consistent between batches.
- 02
Washdown and sanitation take time away from production.
- 03
By-product solids need to be recovered, not discarded.
Food and beverage duties prioritise cleanability, corrosion resistance and consistent filtrate clarity. Wetted parts are supplied in stainless steel, cloth is finished for food contact, and the frame is detailed to allow washdown. Plate and frame presses remain useful for batch clarification and recipe changes.
