Summary
Product identification
The TurboClean® Food & Dairy UH004 Series elements feature a patented sanitary hard-shell design. They deliver improved system performance with approximately 60% less bypass flow compared to other sanitary elements, leading to energy savings and/or higher flux rates. This design also results in more effective membrane cleaning due to higher cross-flow velocity. TurboClean elements are stronger than net-wrapped sanitary elements, able to withstand higher pressure drops, and offer the tightest OD tolerance and optimal circularity for easier loading and unloading.
Key Features:
- Strongest Sanitary Element
- Most Effective Cleaning
- Longer Operating Life
- Easiest Installation
- Better Performance
Membrane Characteristics
- Membrane Type: Polyethersulfone (PES)
- Nominal M.W.C.O. (Da): 4,000
- All models feature a TurboClean sanitary outer wrap and diamond-shaped feed spacers.

Important Information
- Start-up: MANN+HUMMEL Water & Fluid Solutions recommends flushing elements for 30 minutes at low pressure and discarding permeate during the flush prior to operation. Refer to "Element Start-Up Guide – System Start-Up (TSG-O-005)" for a detailed procedure.
- Cleaning: TurboClean® membrane elements require periodic cleaning to maintain proper operation and prevent membrane damage. Refer to "Membrane Cleaning Guide – Food & Dairy: UF & MF Elements (TSG-C-004)".
- Storage: Proper storage is essential to ensure proper operation and prevent membrane damage. Refer to "Element Storage Guides (TSG-O-009 & TSG-O-010)".
