NF 8038 NP 030 XT

Summary

Product identification

The TurboClean® Food & Dairy NP030 XT Series elements feature a membrane cast on a polypropylene support material suitable for high temperature and high pH cleaning conditions. These elements incorporate patented TurboClean technology, a sanitary hard-shell design that reduces bypass flow by approximately 60% compared to other sanitary elements, leading to energy savings and/or higher flux rates. This design also enables more effective membrane cleaning and allows the elements to withstand higher pressure drops.
