Ceramic Membranes for Bacteria Removal
Consumers are demanding high-quality food and beverage products more than ever before. Increased demand for low-spore powders, shelf-stable dairy and plant-based products and zero-defect cheese are driving the need for bacteria-removing production solutions. A ceramic membrane system, known as a “Bactocatch”, can be used to produce these high-value products. A Bactocatch works at high temperatures and has a uniform pore size distribution, removing bacteria and spores from dairy streams at 5-7 log reduction. Tetra Pak offers several filtration line solutions, including microfiltration ceramic membrane systems, the ideal technology for bacteria and spore removal.
