Sani - Model Vibro-I -Industrial Membrane Filtration System
The Vibro technology makes it possible to run the separation with 100% uniform and extremely low TMP. Thus, improving separation and making actual microfiltration a possibility. All engineering solutions are sanitary and all parts in media contact are in FDA / EC 1935/2004 compliant materials. The Vibro technology makes the crossflow pump redundant and as a result, the energy requirements for pumping and cooling are reduced.
The Vibro-I is an industrial microfiltration and ultrafiltration solution for applications where low energy consumption, high flux, sanitary function, low capital investment and gentle filtration are key words. The cleansing turbulence on the membrane surface is achieved through vibration. This allows for truly uniform Trans Membranes Pressure (TMP) and secure optimal separation even at the extremely low pressures needed for continuous microfiltration.
The Vibro-I has opened up for new applications and improvements of current applications for everyone using traditional microfiltration and ultrafiltration systems today.
The Vibro-I is ideal for food and pharmaceutical production as all engineering solutions are sanitary and parts in media contact are in FDA / EC 1935/2004 compliant materials.
Due to the open design of the HP1 Membrane Module, the Vibro-I can handle very difficult media with high viscosity, high mass loadings and even high particulates. When extremely difficult media are processed, it is possible to homogenize the retentate by attaching a ‘slow’ mix pump.
The Vibro-I has a sanitary design with a free flow path (no spacers) and is fully drainable of both retentate and permeate. Thus, no product loss and faster CIP cycles.
Vibro-I is scalable from pilot scale to production, using the modular and stackable filter modules.
The tower configuration and the elimination of the crossflow pump, cooling and intricate piping layout gives the Vibro-I systems a small footprint and reduces energy consumption by up to 95 %.
When you want to simulate full scale production processes and move your process from the laboratory scale to industrial production, your separation process needs to meet critical quality attributes.
With Vibro® filtration, the process is the same across all units, meaning that your results will be the same regardless of which unit you are using.
Additionally, the uniform TMP grants you superior process control, simplifying the process of reaching your targeted quality attributes.
The small benchtop units are therefore ideal for both process development and for simulating large scale production with reliable projections. The Lab-series units can easily be substituted or supplemented by larger units to scale up and reach full scale production.
As the Vibro-I units are modular, they can work in unison and you can keep scaling your production without having upper limitations on capacity.
