Bactofugation

• Sensitive to temperature • Sensitive to pH/salt/moisture content• Some cells create spores to survive

Spores • Resistant to temperature (>100C)

• Resistant to pH/salt/moisture

• Spore will revert to vegetative cell when conditions improve (time and conditions vary)

Bactofugation

Purpose► Spore and bacteria removal

Applications► Improving status of poor milk quality► Cheese milk pre-treatment► Milk with Extended Shelf Life► Milk for powder► Whey treatment

Polynode discs

/ 7

HIGHER CAPACITYPolynode technology allows for more discs in the stack = higher capacity

with maintained separation efficiency

REDUCED HEIGHTPolynodes are 35% lower than traditional spacers, allowing more discs in the stack.

Polynodes Traditional spacer

MORE, EVENLY SPACEDImproved stability by increased number of evenly distributed polynode spacers.

SMALL SHAPEThe tapered shape of polynodes means reduced point of contact per disc by 94%.

EQUIDISTANT DISCSThe many and evenly distributed polynodes secures equidistance between discs.

EncaptTM – inspired by low friction in space

► The closer to Earth – the higher the pressure► Lowering the atmospheric pressure reduces

the friction► Less air friction around the bowl means less

energy required to spin
