Hydrodynamic filtration unit DCF series

for liquidscross flow

The Krauss-Maffei dynamic crossflow filter DCF is suitable for the clarification of liquids and for concentrating and washing of solids in a broad variety of chemical and biochemical products. No matter if the valuable products are solids or liquids, the Krauss-Maffei dynamic crossflow filter DCF increases yield and product quality. Technological advantages Highest possible yields by processing of highly concentrated suspensions up to viscosities of 7,000 mPas Optimum product quality due to single-pass filtration concept, short residence times, no contact with gases, and minimum thermal and mechanical impact Highly accurate membranes with different cut-offs achieve a clear filtrate, typically with residual turbidity of less than 1NTU Smaller installed filtration area due to higher permeate flux 80% reduction in energy consumption compared to traditional membranes Reduced thermal product treatment Lower energy costs Little or no suspension cooling Substantial savings, in any subsequent evaporation or drying Reduced operating costs and wider range of applications Reduced feed pressure due to more effective prevention of clogging layer Homogeneous trans-membrane pressure across the entire surface (no inlet or outlet zones in membranes) Easy inspection as the filtration surface is on the outside of the membrane Machine benefits Very low retention volume in relation to the membrane surface Hermetic design Designs for basic chemical to high-end, sterile pharmaceutical applications Full CIP and SIP available, GMP enabled Small footprint, easy transport and installation
