New in our portfolio: membrane filtration systems from Milkron

Milkron GmbH plans, engineers, installs and services process technology solutions for milk-based products and other items such as ketchup and dressings, fruit preparations, soft drinks, juices, basic beverage ingredients and alternative foods. Now, the Laatzen, Germany-based team is debuting a new addition to its portfolio – proprietary membrane filtration systems in a variety of design options. These solutions make it possible to reliably process a wide range of products. The equipment portfolio includes modules for micro-, ultra- and nanofiltration as well as for reverse osmosis.

For dairy products and (alternative) foods

The membrane filtration systems from Milkron are ideally suited for the manufacture and processing of all milk-based products – from traditional dairy drinks to various cheeses and protein-isolates right through to in-fant formula. Adding to that, Milkron also offers suitable membrane filtration solutions for whey processing and for the new food sector. Whether for plant-based or animal proteins or even products derived through fermentation – there are a great number of different concepts for concentrating or fractionating a diverse array of substances and products.

For microfiltration, Milkron relies on ceramic and spiral-wound membranes as well as capillary membranes developed using the long-standing process expertise and patented technology available within the Krones Group. The resulting processes use controlled transmembrane pressure and targeted backflushing of individual membrane modules during filtration and cleaning, which increases the system’s efficiency. 

Focusing on sustainability and resource efficiency

It is only fitting that Milkron would now offer its own solutions: The 80-strong team possesses a wealth of comprehensive, in-depth knowledge and experience in both process and application technology, especially in the milk and dairy industry and for the production of soft drinks and other foods. That, coupled with the beer and water filtration capabilities of Steinecker and Krones, enables Milkron to offer a modular system that takes into account all upstream and downstream processes as well. Of course, Milkron also takes care of all the automation and service relating to the membrane filtration systems it delivers.  

Sustainability is a top priority for Milkron. Besides offering a water- and energy-saving design of the membrane filtration system itself, Milkron also provides complementary concepts that are aimed at reducing water and energy consumption, capturing and recovering product, and minimising waste.
