Membrane filtration plays a critical role for dairy processing efficiency and product quality. By enabling precise separation and concentration of specific milk components like proteins, fats and minerals, processors can standardize products and have developed entirely new product categories.
Caloris offers the full range of membrane filtration technologies of interest to dairy processors — microfiltration, ultrafiltration, nanofiltration and reverse osmosis. If you are unsure which type of filtration best fits your goals, we can help you make this determination.
There are a variety of possible uses for membrane filtration applications in dairy processing. Filtration can assist with milk standardization and fractionation through protein concentration and separation, and fat removal and standardization.

Lee Telin is our Sales & Service Manager for Membrane Systems. Get to know him here.
Whey processing and protein recovery depend on membrane filtration for value extraction from waste streams and high-quality protein concentrate production.
Membrane filtration can further be used in water recovery and concentration, helping to reduce waste, improve sustainability, and realize cost savings through water reuse.
Dairy processors who implement membrane filtration should see quality improvements, efficiency gains, cost reduction, improved regulatory compliance and sustainability.
These units do need monitoring and maintenance to ensure these continued benefits. If you are noticing quality issues, lagging efficiency, increased costs, etc., Caloris can do an evaluation of your system to determine the root cause(s). We offer rebuild, optimization and capacity expansion services to ensure your existing units can continue to meet your processing goals.
Contact Caloris if you are interested to implement a new membrane filtration system or if you need assistance improving the performance of your existing filtration unit. Call 410-822-6900 or send email to problem.solved@caloris.com.
