Dairy ultrafiltration

We are pioneers and leaders in the production of dairy products such as fresh cheese and Greek yogurt through membrane filtration, offering high efficiency, hygiene, and extended shelf life.

Producing dairy derivatives via filtration provides clear advantages over traditional technologies: liquid-state treatment simplifies installations and automation; fat and protein retention increases cheese yield; flexible lines allow for multiple applications; greater hygiene is achieved by minimizing environmental exposure; and shelf life is extended thanks to both technology and line cleanliness.

Dairy technology

Whey valorization

We are specialists and pioneers in the development of cheese and dairy products using UF and have extensive experience with various applications and products. Our approach positions us as a benchmark in ultrafiltration cheese, where total milk concentration allows for direct packaging of the retentate — after adding cultures/rennet/salt — delivering consistent quality and very high yield. We’ve introduced this technology in Mexico, Russia, Portugal, Colombia, and Spain, with numerous references among leading companies.

Cheese and Yogurt via Ultrafiltration

Cheese production via ultrafiltration (UF) involves concentrating milk, adding cultures, rennet, salt, or other additives to the retentate, which can then be directly packaged.

The result is a high-quality product with uniform texture and superior yield. Similarly, UF before and/or during fermentation enables the production of Greek-style yogurt with higher protein content, without the need for thickeners or additives — maintaining a clean and natural label.

New Applications: Protein Drinks and Functional Products

Lactic ultrafiltration is also used in the formulation of protein beverages and functional dairy products. It allows for the adjustment of solids and protein concentrations, improved stability, and the production of a nutrient-rich liquid base — ideal for high-value nutritional drinks.

These technological advantages make Perinox a global reference in dairy ultrafiltration, offering sustainable, hygienic, and high-performance solutions.
