Plant-based product potential soars with the help of Membrane filtration technology
As consumer demand increases for plantbased products and proteins , manufacturers are turning their attention to tried-andtrue technology in hope of unearthing new discoveries for financial growth and company expansion . Many manufacturers are turning to crossflow membrane filtration in search of answers .
Able to provide high-quality protein yields without the risk of altering the macromolecules ’ structure , crossflow membrane filtration provides a way to separate desired molecules , like protein , from the undesired molecules . Using membrane filtration avoids the loss of functional and nutritional properties , as opposed to other processes such as acidleaching or thermal treatments . Research indicates membrane filtration can achieve a protein retention rate of up to 97 %.
Axium Process has been helping such companies on the road to success .
“ This is not new technology ,” said Jamie George , Projects & Business Development Director at Axium Process , “ this is a trusted
technology applied in new ways . For over 20 years we ’ ve helped market-leading manufacturers achieve results . The premise is the same , but the execution is a different matter entirely ; we have the knowledge and experience to know where things diverge , and what to do when that happens .”
“ At Axium , we tailor our solutions to customers ’ specific needs , whether it ’ s maximising pea protein isolate for plantbased burgers or extracting soy protein for shakes .”
Research indicates membrane filtration can achieve a protein retention rate of up to 97 %.
For companies looking to create plantbased products , membrane filtration can provide a cost-effective solution within a small footprint , helping maximise production output and efficiency . By embracing the automation of membrane filtration , companies can focus on product development and market demands , confident that their production line is up to the task .

Established knowledge drives success in challenging cleaning environments
Leading food and beverage manufacturers are facing increasing pressure to eliminate the risks of product contamination . With stricter hygienic controls required , the key to success is the rigorous and effective cleaning of the process line itself . Clean-In-Place ( CIP ) systems are universally recognised as the most effective solution for maintaining dependable , consistently repeatable results .
Responding to demand for a more versatile approach , Axium Process have launched an adaptive Mobile CIP System for all industry sectors , offering a cost-effective and compact plug-and-play solution in place of traditional fixed-in-place methods .
The new CIP package is a highly versatile and easy-to-maintain clean-in-place solution , designed with mobility and hygiene at the forefront of its design . Fully customisable with options ranging from manual to automatic , the system can be adapted to include an integrated control unit via a panel-mounted touchscreen HMI and PLC . With remote monitoring and ongoing technical support available if required , the system can be programmed to record historic data , accessible on site by an operator , or remotely by one of Axium ’ s own engineers . Developed with decades of hands-on experience across multiple process applications , Axium ’ s new Mobile CIP System offers an advanced alternative for sanitary maintenance .
