Modular design allows for a wide capacity range.
Fully automated system with integrated CIP (Clean-In-Place) system and tank management.

Applications: Primarily used in the food industry and biotechnology for filtering juices from various fruits, fruit wines, and fermenter broths. The system is designed to handle aqueous suspensions with medium to high suspended solids content.

Design and Functionality: The UltraStar XL operates as a semicontinuous cross-flow filtration plant. The product circulates through membrane tubes, allowing the liquid phase to permeate and exit as permeate. Fresh product is continuously added, and the system can perform diafiltration to maximize yield. The modular design supports various applications through different membrane cut-offs.
