Introduction
In the competitive world of dairy processing, manufacturers constantly seek advanced technologies to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and maintain high product quality. Ultrafiltration (UF) membranes have become a game-changer in this industry, enabling precise separation, concentration, and purification of dairy components. As a leading Chinese manufacturer specializing in high-performance UF membranes, we provide cost-effective, reliable solutions tailored for dairy applications—including whey protein concentration, milk protein standardization, and more.
Why Choose Our Ultrafiltration Membranes?
1. Self-Produced, Competitive Pricing – Unlike traders or resellers, we manufacture our own UF membranes, ensuring strict quality control and eliminating middleman costs. This allows us to offer highly competitive prices without compromising performance.
2. Superior Filtration Efficiency – Our membranes deliver high flux rates and exceptional retention of proteins, fats, and lactose, ensuring optimal separation and yield.
3. Fast Production & Short Lead Times – With an efficient manufacturing process, we can quickly fulfill bulk orders, reducing downtime for dairy processors.
4. Durable & Chemically Resistant – Designed to withstand frequent cleaning (CIP/SIP) and harsh dairy processing conditions, our membranes ensure long service life.

Key Applications in Dairy Processing
1. Whey Protein Concentration & Fractionation
Whey, a byproduct of cheese production, contains valuable proteins that can be recovered and used in nutritional supplements, infant formula, and sports nutrition. Our UF membranes efficiently:
Concentrate whey proteins by removing water, lactose, and minerals, increasing protein content from 10-15% to up to 80%.
Separate alpha-lactalbumin and beta-lactoglobulin, enabling high-value ingredient extraction.
Reduce waste, making whey processing more sustainable and profitable.
Compared to traditional evaporation methods, UF operates at lower temperatures, preserving protein functionality and reducing energy costs.
2. Milk Protein Standardization
Consistency in milk composition is crucial for cheese, yogurt, and other dairy products. Our UF membranes help:
Adjust protein-to-fat ratios by selectively retaining proteins while permeating water, lactose, and minerals.
Improve yield in cheese production by pre-concentrating milk, reducing the need for rennet and fermentation time.
Enhance product texture and nutritional value in yogurt and functional dairy beverages.
3. Lactose Reduction & Milk Permeate Recovery
For lactose-free or low-lactose dairy products, UF membranes efficiently separate lactose from milk or whey, improving digestibility. The permeate (containing lactose and minerals) can be further processed into valuable ingredients like lactose powder or animal feed.
4. Bacteria & Spore Removal (Cold Pasteurization)
UF acts as a physical barrier, removing bacteria, spores, and viruses without heat treatment. This extends shelf life while maintaining the natural flavor and nutritional quality of dairy products.
