Summary
Product identification
TurboClean® Food & Dairy UP020 Series
These elements feature a patented sanitary hard-shell design engineered to reduce bypass flow by approximately 60% compared to other sanitary elements. This results in energy savings and/or higher flux rates, as more feed flows across the membrane surface. The design also leads to more effective membrane cleaning due to higher cross-flow velocity. TurboClean elements are stronger than net-wrapped sanitary elements, can withstand higher pressure drops, and offer easier loading and unloading due to tight outer diameter (OD) tolerance and optimal circularity.
Key benefits include:
- Strongest Sanitary Element
- Most Effective Cleaning
- Longer Operating Life
- Easiest Installation
- Better Performance
Membrane Characteristics
- Membrane: UP020
- Membrane Type: Polyethersulfone (PES)
- Nominal M.W.C.O.: 20,000 Da
Design Information
All models feature a TurboClean sanitary outer wrap and diamond-shaped feed spacers.
