This tubular ultrafiltration (UF) membrane system is engineered for clarifying and concentrating fruit and vegetable juices in food and beverage processing. Unlike spiral-wound or hollow-fiber membranes, tubular UF modules handle high-solids, high-viscosity, and particle-laden liquids exceptionally well, making them ideal for juices with pulp, pectin, or fiber content.
Key Features:
Large-diameter tubular membrane channels resist clogging from pulp and suspended solids
A high cross-flow velocity design minimizes membrane fouling and maintains stable flux over long runs
Sanitary, food-grade construction (stainless steel 304/316) meeting hygienic processing standards
Easily cleanable via CIP (Clean-in-Place) systems — reduces downtime between batches
Removes pectin, colloids, microorganisms, and haze-causing particles while retaining juice color, aroma, and nutrients
Modular skid design allows scaling from pilot/lab systems to full production capacity
Compatible with a wide pH and temperature range typical of fruit and vegetable juice processing
