Membrane microfiltration unit R-100

for dairy products

X-Flow’s R-100 capillary microfiltration membranes are the number one choice for the filtration of still and sparkling wines, must, and juices. Due to the great improvements in product quality and taste, production costs, and environmental impact, more than 20 percent of global wine production is now filtered with our membranes. Although the R-100 module was specifically developed for wine filtration, it is also an exceptional choice for dairy products and for oil/water separation. The module contains an outer housing (vessel) and an insert composed of about 2,100 capillaries. FEATURES: Microfiltration (MF) technology Capillaries based on modified polyethersulfone 9.3 m² filtration area per membrane Surface properties allow greater control of colloid retention in wine Reduces yeast and bacteria count to less than 1 cell/100 ml Reduces turbidity level to less than 1 NTU Maximum pore size of 0,2 micron (0,1 micron on average) Unique asymmetric pore structure results in better backflush efficiency Fully automatic operation Testable and repairable Suitable for high temperatures
