Fully continuous multistage ultrafiltration unit with-counter-current diafiltration designed for the clarification of fruit juices, fruit wines and aqueous plant extracts • Maximum product yield and excellent juice quality • Tubular membranes allow high solid concentrations • Integrated CIP system and tank management • Fast and gentle filtration process • Continuous diafiltration with low water consumption

Application The Bucher Unipektin ContiStar feed-and-bleed ultrafiltration system has been developed for the clarification and extraction of fruit juices, wines, plant extracts and fermented broths. It is especially useful if the process needs to be fast and under absence of air in order to avoid quality deteriorations. Due to its large diameter, tubular membranes and the counter current diafiltration the ContiStar process is very efficient. The unit can handle fluids with medium to high suspended solids is the concentrations. The ContiStar is especially well suited for the filtration of coloured...
