Microza® Industrial Process MF U and P Series

High-Performance MF Membrane for a Wide Range of Applications

Industrial Process MF is a hollow fiber membrane product that provides highly efficient separation technology for concentration and purification processes. With a wide range of membranes, it enables automation, labor saving, and cleanliness in separation and purification processes across pharmaceuticals, food, chemical industries, and more.

Details of Industrial Process MF


Features of Industrial Process MF

The U Series uses high-strength PVDF membranes, providing excellent chemical resistance and long-term stable operation.

With a proven track record, it is used for purification and concentration in various fields such as food, pharmaceuticals, and chemical industries.

The extensive lineup allows users to select the optimal membrane for their application, including pore size, membrane area, material, and inner diameter.

Backwash capability (reverse pressure cleaning) enables backwashing of filtered water due to the robust membrane structure.

Compared to ceramic membranes, it saves space and reduces energy consumption and power costs.
