Description
 10K Ultrafiltration Series Membranes
Sanitary element for dairy and food processing
Toray’s 10K TUF 3838N1 Ultrafiltration (TUF-series) membranes have a molecular weight cut-off (MWCO) of 10,000 Daltons. TUF-series models are net-wrapped (no tail), spiral-wound elements using a hydrophilic polyethersulfone (PES) asymmetric membrane specifically developed to retain milk and whey proteins, and maximize productivity.
Toray offers 5,000 and 10,000 molecular cutoff weight membranes to meet the needs of your proprietary process for dairy applications, beverage, or RO pretreatment needs.
The Sanitary UF membrane is a hydrophilic polyethersulfone asymmetric membrane, developed for maximum retention of milk and whey proteins and maximum productivity. The components used in TUF-series conform to FDA Regulation CFR Title 21 and USDA/3-A Sanitary Standards.
Regulatory Information, Toray’s membrane elements are certified under:
• ISO 9001:2015 QMS to ensure consistency in product and service quality; and
• ISO 14001:2015 EMS to enhance the environmental performance of our products and services.
