What are the roles and advantages of water purification equipment in the food industry?

The secret of water use in the food industry, do you know it?

What kind of food do you like to eat? Is it drinks, milk, beer, or cookies, bread, chocolate? No matter what you like to eat, you probably haven’t thought about the fact that none of these foods can be produced without an important ingredient – water.

Water is an important medium in the food industry, it is involved in all aspects of food processing, cleaning, cooling, dilution, flavoring, etc., and is in direct contact with the food, affecting its quality and taste. Therefore, the food industry on the water quality requirements are very high, not only to meet the national health standards, but also in line with the characteristics and needs of food!

Food water purification equipment reveals the truth!

If the food industry uses tap water directly, then the quality and safety of food will be seriously threatened, and may even cause food safety accidents, resulting in incalculable losses. In order to avoid this situation, the food industry must carry out secondary treatment of tap water to improve the standard of water quality and meet the requirements of food production. This is the role of food water purification equipment.

Food water purification equipment is equipment that specializes in providing high standard water treatment solutions for the food industry, which can effectively remove impurities, residual chlorine, heavy metals, bacteria and other harmful substances from the water to ensure that the water used for food production is clean and hygienic. The core technology of food water purification equipment is reverse osmosis technology, which is a technology that utilizes the selective permeability of semi-permeable membrane to realize the separation of water and solute.

The working principle and effect of reverse osmosis technology

The working principle of reverse osmosis technology is as follows: when two solutions of different concentrations are separated by a semi-permeable membrane, a natural osmosis phenomenon occurs due to the concentration difference, i.e., osmosis from the solution of lower concentration to the solution of higher concentration, until the concentration on both sides is equal. This osmotic phenomenon is called osmotic pressure and it is a natural physical phenomenon.

If we apply an external pressure greater than the osmotic pressure to a solution of high concentration, then the osmotic phenomenon is reversed, i.e., osmosis occurs from the solution of high concentration to the solution of low concentration, so that the separation of water and solute can be achieved. This reversal of osmosis phenomenon is called reverse osmosis, which is an artificial physical phenomenon.

The effect of reverse osmosis technology is very significant, it can remove more than 99% of the impurities and harmful substances in the water, and get high purity water. Reverse osmosis technology can not only remove suspended solids, residual chlorine, heavy metals, bacteria, etc., but also remove organic matter, inorganic matter, salts, viruses, radioactive substances, etc., almost all substances in water, to achieve the highest standard of water purification.

Classification and characteristics of food water purification equipment

Food water purification equipment can be divided into the following categories according to the different needs and uses of the food industry:

Beverage water purification equipment: it is applicable to the beverage industry, such as juice, tea, carbonated beverages, functional beverages, etc. The main function is to remove residual chlorine, heavy metals, bacteria, etc. in the water to ensure the color, aroma and taste of the beverage. Beverage water purification equipment generally uses a combination of reverse osmosis technology and ultrafiltration technology to achieve efficient purification and stabilization of water quality.

Dairy water purification equipment: It is suitable for dairy industry, such as milk, milk powder, yogurt, cheese, etc. The main function is to remove bacteria, viruses, proteins, fats, etc. in the water to ensure the hygiene, nutrition and quality of dairy products. Dairy water purification equipment generally adopts the combination of ultrafiltration technology and nanofiltration technology to realize the efficient separation and concentration of water quality.

Beer water purification equipment: applicable to the beer industry, such as beer, yellow wine, white wine, etc., the main function is to remove residual chlorine, heavy metals, organics, etc. in the water, to ensure that the beer brewing, fermentation, maturation and other processes of water quality requirements. Beer water purification equipment generally adopts the combination of reverse osmosis technology and activated carbon filtration technology to realize efficient purification and regulation of water quality.

Bread water purification equipment: applicable to the bread industry, such as bread, cakes, cookies, etc., the main function is to remove residual chlorine, heavy metals, bacteria, etc., to ensure that the bread fermentation, baking, preservation of freshness and other processes of water quality requirements. Bread water purification equipment generally adopts the combination of reverse osmosis technology and ultraviolet sterilization technology to achieve efficient purification and disinfection of water quality.

Chocolate water purification equipment: It is suitable for chocolate industry, such as chocolate, chocolate candy, chocolate sauce, etc. The main function is to remove residual chlorine, heavy metals, organic matter, etc. in the water, so as to ensure the water quality requirements for the process of chocolate processing, cooling, packaging and other processes. Chocolate water purification equipment generally adopts reverse osmosis technology and water softening technology combined to achieve efficient purification and softening of water quality.

Functions and advantages of food water purification equipment

What are the functions and advantages of food water purification equipment? Simply put, it is to make the water used in the food industry safer, more efficient and more energy-saving. Specifically, there are the following points:

Safety: Food water purification equipment can effectively remove various harmful substances in water, ensure clean and sanitary water quality, avoid contamination and deterioration of food, guarantee the safety and quality of food, in line with national health standards and the special requirements of the food industry.

High efficiency: food water purification equipment can provide customized water treatment solutions according to the different needs and uses of the food industry, to meet the water quality requirements of various aspects of food production, improve the quality and taste of food, and increase the added value and competitiveness of food.

Energy saving: food water purification equipment can use advanced technology and equipment to achieve efficient use and recycling of water, reduce water waste and discharge, reduce water costs and consumption, save water and energy, reduce the burden on the environment and pollution.
