Cross flow membrane filtration for the dairy and food industries
Cross-flow membrane filtration technologies provide so many possibilities and options today – and selecting the correct and most optimal solutions for any given application can be a challenging process. From white cheese, fresh fermented products like Skyr, Greek yoghurt and Cream Cheeses, Lactose reduced products to the concentration of milk and plant-based proteins, solids and nutrients, membrane filtration allows for a wide range of processes.
For some products, membrane filtration is the only viable solution for achieving feasible results. Our team of experts will help you sift through all the options and choose the one best suited for your needs. All plants are designed according to the customer specification, whether that be for large continuous operations, low process volumes, viscous products or batch operation.
SiccaDania Filtration’s team has more than 200+ years of experience designing and commissioning cross-flow membrane filtration systems around the world.

The basics on filtration technology
The filtration process is used to separate dissolved and dispersed components of different molecular sizes from a liquid.
By changing the size of the membrane filtration pores, it is possible to create the desired product capabilities by extracting the exact components, you wish.
