Alfa Laval sanitary membrane housings are designed for use with full-fit spiral filtration elements. These housings are ideal for use in the food and biopharm industries, because the materials used comply with FDA regulations (CFR) Title 21.     Alfa Laval sanitary membrane housings are designed to withstand high operating temperatures (up to 80°C), and working pressures of up to 64 bar. The housings features low energy consumption and an absolute minimum of by-pass flow, because of an extremely accurate, high-tolerance machining. The design of these housings makes it easy to quickly swap out the spiral filtration elements, keeping any processing disruption and downtime to a minimum. They are light in weight and have only a small internal volume, with large ports and an ideal flow distribution. The units are designed for space-saving rack mounting. A wide range of different 2.5-inch spiral filtration elements are available for installation in these housings, for use in ultrafiltration, nanofiltration and reverse osmosis applications.
