Dairy JX Series
Microfiltration – Clarification and Fat Removal
The Dairy JX microfiltration elements are characterized by a nominal pore size of 0.3micron and are low fouling when oils and grease are present. These elements are used for the removal of fat and colloidal impurities in food process streams and are often used in cheese brine clarification. These elements feature a Durasan* Cage patented outer wrap, a selection of feed spacers, and polysulfone parts.
