Ultrafiltration plant for Fermented products 3 Main items: 1) Thermisation unit 2) Ultra filtration UF for fermented milk 3) Cooler and Silo. The line is used to make Quark but designed to make mascarpone. The Thermisation and Ultrafiltration unit are also suitable to make other fermented and concentrated dairy products like: Skyr, Mascarpone and Double Cream cheese. Key data: -input: 3.500 - 5.000ltr/h Fermented skim milk, Full fatt milk or enriched products. -Concentration factor: 1.8-2.5 1) Thermisation unit Complete skid mounted thermisation unit. Flow rate : 3.500 up to 5.000ltr (depending on product). Make : Tetra pack Model : TetraTherm Stock number : STN16309 Function: Thermisation of fermented products. Temperature cycle: Input: 21-30 °C (incubation temperature) -> recuperation (permeate cooler) -> thermisation 55/60°c or pasteurisation at 72/95 °C -> holding -> out to Ultra Filtration at approx. 45 °C. Complete unit including: * Stainless steel frame in which everything is preassembled. * Closed balance tank with spray bowl. * Centrifugal product pump, covered in stainless steel tetra, Flush seal, type: LKH * Plate heat exchanger, 4 stages, new, Tetra Pak, Clip6-SR Model. * ROI box with all connections for sensors and pneumatic valves. * 2x Indirect hot water set with: - Steam/Hotwater tubular heatexchanger - Steam regulation valve - Water pump and auxilaries. * Holding tube for 5.000 ltr/h, variable by connecting more or less tubes 30 sec up to 180 seconds in 9 stages. *Sample valve (Keofitt) * All interconnected pipings, fittings and valves. 2) Ultrafiltration unit Manufacturer : Tetra Pak Type : Tetra Alcross US P&F Serial number : T5845810096 Year : 2010 Capacity : input up to 5.300ltr/h Stock number : STN16310 Description : Concentrates a yoghurt or a fermented milk to achieve the desired composition and texture. The UF splits the product in Rentate and Permeate. The Retentate is the endproduct and is the Protein and Fatt (if included) concentrated. The advantage of this design UF (compared to Spiral wound UF and separator) is it is suitable for Fermented products with and without Fatt and all proteins are concentrated (also the whey proteins) This leads to high pressures in the system and Filtration can only be achieved with a Plate and Frame filtration with flat FR60pp filters and Rotary piston circulation pumps. Some example productions: input: skim milk 9% TS -> output approx. 16% TS (Skyr). Input: input 20% TS incl fatt -> Output Cream cheese or mascarpone Input: Ferm. skim milk pre-concentrated up to 12% TS -> output up to 18% TS (Quark)   The limiting factor is the Permeate out flux Approx. Permeate per stage: Stage 1) 1100-1755ltr/h 13.5m2 filters stage 2) 675/1170ltr/h 9m2 filters stage 3) 320/585ltr/h 4.5m2 filters stage 4) 300/585ltr/h 4.5m2 filters 15bar. Complete skid mounted. Filters plate and frame type, manufacturer: Tetra Pak - DDS, model: M37 Complete unit including: * Stainless steel frame * 2 Balance tanks with spray bowl. (Feed and permeate return) * Feed pump tetra LKH * 4 circulation loops including circulation pumps. First stage with centrifugal pump, 3 stages with Waukesha Rotary piston model: 320-U2 high pressure pumps. last stage up to 15bar pressure for high viscose products. * In each loop, THE for cooling, FT for permeate, TT, PT, interconnecting piping. * Inbuild CIP system for the UF unit including dosing of cleaning detergents. Own independent cleaning system for UF only. * ROI box with all connections for sensors and pneumatic valves. * All interconnected pipings, fittings and valves. 3) Quark silo, cooler and pump . Tank details: Manufacturer : Schwarte-Milfor Type : Quarksilo Serial number : 3580 Year : 2011 Capacity : 5.000 liter Stock number : STN16311 Design: Strong Conical for very viscose products. Insulated Hermetic, Ultra clean with sterile air. Sensors for level and temperature. On product infeed: - Plate cooler Make Tetra Model: Clip line C6 Thermal cycle: 45-> Approx. 18°C Capacity: approx. 2.500ltr/h 1 section, 2 options, water or icewater, water circulation pump On product outfeed: - Outfeed positive lobe pump - CIP return pump - Valves and piping for CIP and product. - Remote I-O box. Controls On each skid is a ROI box and Pneumatic valve box. There is a central MCC in steel box with all freq converters of all pumps. Included are all electric an communication cables Excluded is: the CPU- PLC and Scada systems, this was centralized made by software company (Proleit)

Can LDFE help me with the installation?

Yes, if desired our mechanics can install the equipment at your premises . Also, we can offer long-distance assistance by giving instructions by video call or remote control (when installed).

What do the conditions ‘refurbished’, ‘good running’ and ‘as is’ mean?

We can offer our machinery in three conditions: ‘refurbished’,  ‘good running’ and ‘as is’. ‘Refurbished’ refers to a complete revision of a used machine to give it a second life. Our standard procedure when completely refurbishing a used machine is:

  • Strip down to the frame: blasting and spraying of steel components
  • All component wear: replacement of bearings, bushes and gaskets
  • Replacement of damaged or worn components
  • New cabling and control systems (latest updates)
  • 6 month warranty
  • Guaranteed spare parts supply for 5 years
  • Optional: supervision of commissioning and operator training
  • Optional: CE marking
  • Optional: custom modifications

Buying a ‘good running’ machine is a cheaper solution. In this condition, we do not completely overhaul the machine,  but do the necessary works to get the machine in working condition. The machine is tested in our workshop and components are only replaced if necessary. This price is always subject to conditions, as on occasion it becomes evident during the tests that there is an expensive fault. If this is the case, the buyer receives a quotation for the additional costs and is also given the option to cancel the purchase.

Machines are almost always sold ex-factory and can be deployed in the same condition in which we bought them: ‘as is’. However, the machine has not been inspected by us and there is no guarantee of its current condition. We always recommend that a machine is inspected prior to purchase and only to buy ‘as is’ if you have a thorough knowledge of machines. We can always tell you whether we purchased the machine in operating condition or whether it had already been decommissioned. Documentation is not always included and can only be supplied if it was present at the time of purchase.

Can I trust used machines?

We have been dealing with used machines since 1996 from the same place we started the business and growing every year. If a (small) problem arises, we also try to find a solution with our customers. We always have been a reliable partner due to our experience with used machinery.

Can LDFE also offer new machines?

Yes, in particular process equipment such as pasteurisers, standardisation equipment, CIP units, Cheese UHT unit etc. A hybrid form of new and rebuild is also possible.
