The use of the tangential flow filter allows to obtain, in a single passage, the perfect clarification of the product, its microbiological stabilization, and the possible elimination of colloids and oxidizing enzymes, thus eliminating the need for any subsequent filtration steps or pasteurizations while making the product microbiologically stable. This reduces the handling of the product and the consequent loss and saves adjuvants and labor, with an overall reduction of costs and a greater protection of the initial qualities.

The Spadoni Tangential flow filter FTS-SA (F-24) is more efficient than the FTS Basic, as its start-up, management, and back washing cycles are fully automated. The system is available from 4 to 12 modules (hollow fiber or ceramic fiber), which guarantee microfiltration, polishing, and microbiological stabilization, without the use of adjuvants and additives. In the FTS-SA manual intervention is only necessary to set the recipe on the touch panel and to insert additives for cleaning the machine.

The full range of Spadoni’s cross-flow systems includes, in addition to the FTS-BE model, two other variants:

• Spadoni’s FTS-BE cross-flow filter; the basic model, smaller and more compact, ideal for small businesses and available from 1 to 4 modules;
• Spadoni’s FTS-TOP cross-flow filter: fully automated in all processing phases, from filling to unloading and washing; available from 12 to 50 modules.
