Membrane Filtration Equipment Systems

Filtration Systems

Membrane Systems Specialists, Inc. is a proud industry-leading provider of high-performance membrane filtration equipment systems. These fluid separation systems, ideal for removing suspended particles and various other substances from fluids, use different membranes to separate unwanted particles from desired substances. We offer a variety of membrane filtration technologies, including:

  • Microfiltration: Abbreviated MF, these are systems that usually only prevent bacteria, suspended solids and fat globules from passing through. This is because these membranes typically are made with an open structure, allowing particles to pass through that are smaller than the membrane’s pores.
  • Reverse osmosis: Abbreviated RO, reverse osmosis membrane filtration equipment blocks all substances except for water. It has the tightest membrane pores that can remove dissolved particles and contaminants, such as salts and minerals, from the fluid.
  • Nanofiltration: Abbreviated NF, these membranes are only slightly more open than reverse osmosis – allowing tiny mineral ions to make their way through, but not much else beyond water. These still block all organic compounds like fats, bacteria, sugars and any larger ions.
  • Ultrafiltration: Abbreviated UF, these have some of the largest membrane pores in relation to the other types of filtration. They allow small peptides, organic acids, sugars and a few other substances to pass through, but block things like fats, proteins and polysaccharides.

Depending on your feedstock solution and your desired final products, our team will work with you to determine the best membrane filtration equipment system for your specific needs. We also offer a variety of sizes and configurations, ensuring that we can accommodate different flow rates and production needs.

We offer filtration systems in several major materials: Cellulose acetate, Teflon, nylon, cellulose nitrate, polycarbonate and more. This wide selection of materials allows us to tailor our systems to your exact needs, ensuring maximum efficiency and effectiveness in your operations.

Furthermore, this allows us to provide fluid separation services for many different parts of the food, beverage and dairy industries. Whether you need to separate milk and whey solids for cheese production, or clarify juices and remove pulp in the beverage industry, we have the right solution for you.

Liquid Process Equipment

Process Equipment

On top of our membrane filtration equipment, we also design, manufacture and install the best custom liquid processing equipment you’ll find across the food processing and dairy industries. We provide complete processing solutions, including entire turnkey plants, for various client needs.

Our liquid processing equipment is all made using premium materials that meet USDA and other relevant standards. We’re part of dairy associations around the nation, allowing us to remain up-to-date with the latest industry standards, regulations and best practices.

Some of our liquid process equipment capabilities include:

  • HTST systems: Short for high-temperature short-time, these are processing systems used to pasteurize milk and other liquids. The process ensures the safety of dairy products by eliminating harmful bacteria and microorganisms.
  • CIP systems: Short for clean-in-place, these are essential for maintaining proper hygiene in food processing plants. Our CIP systems use a combination of mechanical action, chemical solutions, and heat to thoroughly clean and sanitize equipment between production runs.
  • Centrifuges: These are machines that separate solids from liquids through the use of centrifugal force. Our centrifuges are designed for efficient and gentle separation, protecting delicate products such as cream or juice.
  • Clarifiers: Clarification is an important step in many food and beverage processing operations, and we offer a variety of clarifiers to meet different needs. Our systems can effectively remove impurities, such as solids or bacteria, from liquids to ensure high-quality end products.
  • Dryer feed: Our dryer feed equipment allows for efficient and accurate feeding of concentrated solutions to dryers, ensuring consistent product quality and minimal waste.

We are constantly updating and improving our liquid process equipment offerings to stay at the forefront of the industry. Our team is also experienced in designing custom systems to meet unique client needs, so don’t hesitate to reach out with any specific requirements you may have.

Many of our clients come to us at Membrane Systems Specialists, Inc. with only a general idea of the product they’d like produced for liquid process equipment needs. With just this basic information, we create a custom system that will meet every standard and requirement necessary for your particular application.

Our average turnaround times for liquid process equipment systems can range from eight to 16 weeks depending on the complexity of the project. Our team is dedicated to providing you with efficient and reliable solutions that will help your business thrive. Contact us today to learn more!
