Filtration and separation technology are used to improve food and beverage production processes, produce safer products, minimize waste, and much more.
Filtration in the food and beverage industry is a critical part of the process.
Some application cases include:
• Salt production – Basket centrifuges are commonly used in salt production.
• Water purification – Membranes are used to purify water before use as a food or beverage ingredient.
• Wastewater treatment – Wastewater is treated at facilities.
• Corn wet milling – A variety of filtration steps, including micro and nanofiltration, are required in the wet milling of corn. For example, filtration is used to remove microorganisms as well as to concentrate and clarify corn syrup.
• Sugar juice and crystals – Rotary vacuum drum filters separate sugar juice from settled mud before a centrifuge is used to recover sugar crystals.
• Beer and spirits production – Among many separation activities in a brewery or a distillery, the dewatering of separated grains in a filter press or decanter centrifuge, and the clarification of the product in a sheet filter.
