Ceramic membrane elements

Depending on the field of application, ceramic membranes from GEA Westfalia Separator Group enable concentration in cross-flow filtration to the extent that no further processing is necessary. This results in highly efficient filtration processes in the beverage industry:

• Besides centrifuges, cross-flow installations are standard equipment in beer recovery from surplus yeast.
• Fruit juices can be filtered without loss of colour and with a high degree of clouding stability
• Especially for wine filtration, ceramic membranes are convincing more and more wineries on account of their durability and complete inertness.
• Ceramic membranes can be adapted optimally to filtration and concentration processes by selecting appropriate pore widths and channel cross-sections.
• Well-established pilot plants are available for beer filtration, lees processing and other applications.

GEA Westfalia Separator Group offers a complete range of ceramic membranes with pore widths of 5 nm to 1.4 µm and with unrivalled channel diameters of 1.3 mm to 8 mm. GEA Westfalia Separator Group with its diverse innovations has a global presence with more than 50 sales and service companies and over 20 authorized workshops.
