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
