• Maximum product yield and excellent juice quality
• Tubular membranes allow high solid concentrations
• Modular design, high performance on small footprint
• Integrated tanks and heating system for cleaning solution
• Pre-installed and almost ready for operation
• Designed for small to medium sized processors

The Flavy MiniStar has been designed for small and medium sized producers of fruit juices, fruit wines and extracts from plant material.
Due to its large diameter tubular membranes it is predestined for the clarification of aqueous suspensions with medium to high suspended solids content. Different membrane cut offs and materials enable an adaptation to various applications.

The Flavy MiniStar comes as a preassembled and tested unit on a compact frame with all required periphery tanks “on board”. Integration into an existing processing line and the operation of the unit are simple.
The Flavy MiniStar 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 inch membrane tubes. A portion of the liquid phase thereby permeates through the thin membrane layer and leaves the system as permeate. Fresh product is continuous added into the circulation tank. As soon as the maximum concentration of suspended solids has been achieved, the retentate is extracted with water (optional) to maximise the yield.
Due to its modular design the Flavy MiniStar can be equipped with different numbers of stainless steel or organic (PVDF) membranes.
