• Maximum product yield and excellent juice quality
• Tubular membranes allow high solid concentrations
• Modular design, high performance on small footprint
• Reliable, fully automated system
• Integrated CIP system and tank management

The Flavy UltraStar XL has been designed for applications in the food industry and biotechnology. Due to its large diameter tubular membranes it is predestinated for the clarification of aqueous suspensions with medium to high suspended solids content.
The Flavy UltraStar XL is mainly used for the filtration of juices (from apples, pears, berries, stone fruits, citrus fruits, and pineapples), fruit wines and fermenter broths.

The Flavy UltraStar XL is a semi-continuous cross-flow filtration plant. The product which shall be clarified is circulated via a circulation tank through the inside of the ½’’ diameter membrane tubes. A portion of the liquid phase thereby permeates through the membrane and leaves the system as permeate. Fresh product is continuously added into the circulation tank. As soon as the maximum concentration of suspended solids has been reached, the retentate can optionally be diafiltered (leached out with water) to maximise yield.
Due to the modular design a wide capacity range is covered. Different membrane cut offs enable an adaptation to various applications. The up- and downstream product tanks can be managed by the integrated control system.
