Microparticulation Plant (Spiral Wound Membranes & MP Unit)

Highlights and application:
Microparticulation is a well proven technology offering a wide range of opportunities for modern dairy processing.
The MP system is characterised by:
-Improved product quality
-Increased yield of cheese line
-Product innovation

Advantages of FSN system:
The main advantages of our MP systems are as follows:
-Well defined and flexible process
-Heat recovery up to 80%
-No homogenize is required and hence the system

will be cost effective and less energy is required:
-Fast return of investment

Typical applications of MP systems within the Dairy Industry are as follows:
-Semi hard cheeses such as Gouda, Edam, Camembert and Swiss type cheese
-Camembert and Brie type of cheese
-Hard cheeses such as CheddarProcess cheeses such as
spreadable cheese, Burger
- Cheese
-Ice cream mix
-Fermented products such as Yoghurt, Drink yoghurt, desserts etc.
-soft cheese such as Cream cheese, quark, Labneh, Mascarpone etc.

Options

MP Unit can include the following options:
-Automatic CIP dosing unit
-Automatic flow control system (Frequency controller system on the feed pump and homogenizer as well as flow meters)
-Ultrafiltration plant (To reach WPC 60)
-Extended holding unit
-UPS (Uninterrupted Power Supply)
-Air cooler for Control Pane

Components

MP unit usually includes the following components:
-Closed balance tank including level transmitter and CIP device
-Positive displacement feed pump
-CIP bypass pump
-FSN Plate Heat Exchanger including heating,regenerations and cooling sections.
-FSN shear agglomerator (SSHE) including heating, cooling
-Set of holding tube
-Two sets of hot water unit including Brazed plate heat exchanger, pump, steam control valve, steam trap,
expansion chamber, shut off valves, air vent, safety valve,etc.
-Shear mixer
-Stainless steel control panel including PLC, HMI, power supply, solenoid valves, motor starters etc.
-Automatic diversion valve
-Set of change over valves
-Set of shut off valves for water balance tank, ice water etc.
-Set of instruments such as temperature and pressure transmitters.
-Set of pipes and fittings
-All of the MP units are water tested in our factory before delivery
-The MP Unit Panel/Programme ensures the following are realized:
1-Automatic operational sequence
2-Automatic agglomeration temperature control (PID controller)
3-Automaitc product circulation when agglomeration temperature guard is activated
4-Automatic process interaction with Up and down stream equipment such as feed pump, final storage tank etc.
5-Recording SSHE output temperature and output temperature as long as long as the memory of HMI allows it
