Filtering Processes in the Food and Beverage Industry
When you think about foods and beverages, you likely don’t think about why filtering would even be required step. But, there is a myriad of reasons food and drinks need to be filtered. Below are just a couple of examples of how filter bag housings are implemented in the food and beverage industry.
- Vegetables and fruit
- Fats from both animal and vegetable sources
- Dairy products — cheese, milk, etc.
- Grain and starch products
- Coffee and tea
- Alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages
- Water
Promoting the Health and Safety of Consumers
Filtration in the food and beverage processing and manufacturing is a critical component to the health and safety of consumers. Filtration not only helps to improve the consumer’s experience by improving taste, odor, and consistency, but it removes harmful contaminants that help to improve shelf life and prevent illness. Effective filtration depends largely on the bags and bag housing units that are used in the filtration process.
Filtration methods in the food and beverage industry are also used to separate ingredients as part of mass production practices, most notably, in cheese production. While this use has little to do with promoting safety and is more for the creation and end-user satisfaction, hygiene and effective filtration are paramount. Effective filtration improves shelf life and aids in the creation of mass quantities of food and beverage, quicker and more efficiently.
Potable water is one of the most crucial products made by the food and beverage industry that has global effects. Ensuring that drinking water is properly filtered and treated is critical to supporting global health. High-quality bags and bag housing units help ensure the removal of particles, contaminants, microbes, and impurities that create safe drinking water.
At Filter Sciences, we use superior engineering and the highest-quality materials to construct bag housing systems that support hygienic production standards. Bag housing units that are made out of stainless steel offer a sanitary surface that is easy to clean and food friendly. Additionally, stainless steel prevents rusting and corrosion and inhibits microbial growth on the surface. This helps to reduce and contaminant exposure.
The sealed lid-closure system on all of our bag housing units prevents contaminants from entering the bag housing system, as well as prevents fluid and product loss. Filter Sciences offers single or multiple bag housing units with controllable flow rates, which positively contributes to the production of food and beverage products. At Filter Sciences, our bag housing units are assembled in the United States and are ready to ship. Contact us for your quote today.
