Membralox® HCS Compact Sanitary Modules

A cost effective design for sanitary applications

The Membralox HCS module range takes advantage of the unique hexagonal shape of the Membralox ceramic membranes to obtain a high membrane packing density, thus significantly reducing filtration system costs.

The Membralox HCS modules perfectly match reliability and cost requirements of the main applications in sanitary industries.

Membralox HCS module range features internal gasketing and assembly designed according to high sanitary standard.

Membralox filtration modules are the corner stone for process reliability.

The Widest Separation Range

The exceptional structure of Membralox filtering elements has enabled the development of the widest range of micro and ultrafiltration ceramic membranes. A complete range of modules help for scale-up from laboratory separations to full size industrial needs.

Cost Effective Separations

The remarkable physical and chemical stability of Membralox membranes allows reproducible performance over a long life—a key feature in a cost/benefit analysis proven in numerous industrial installations.

Applications Examples

  • Clarification of fermentation broth
  • Sugar and sweetener processing
  • Fruit juices clarification
  • Milk & whey processing
  • Beer tank bottoms recovery

Membralox HCS Modules

  • Highly compact for cost effective system design and small footprint
  • All wetted parts fully accessible to cleaning chemicals during CIP (no dead zone)
