UNITE Sanitary 3-in-1 Filter Wash Dry System Successfully Commissioned for Green Food Additive Production Project

August 27, 2026 | UNITE Filtration | Project News

UNITE Filtration has successfully commissioned its newly developed sanitary fully automatic 3-in-1 filter wash dry system at an intelligent production facility for green food additives. The successful application marks another advancement in UNITE's sanitary filtration technology and provides an integrated, efficient, and hygienic solid-liquid separation solution for the food processing industry.

Designed to meet the stringent cleanliness and production requirements of food additive manufacturing, the equipment integrates multiple processing stages into a single enclosed system, helping manufacturers improve product quality, production efficiency, and operational sustainability.

Meeting Stringent Hygienic Requirements in Food Additive Manufacturing

Food additives play a critical role in food quality and safety. Their manufacturing processes require strict control over equipment cleanliness, sealing performance, material residues, and automation.

Traditional production lines often rely on separate filtration, washing, and drying equipment. Multiple material transfers and manual interventions can increase the risk of contamination, cross-residue, complicated operations, and inconsistent product purity.

To address these challenges, UNITE developed a sanitary 3-in-1 filter wash dry system tailored to the material characteristics of food additives and the hygienic requirements of food production.

Integrated Filtration, Washing, and Drying in One Enclosed System

The newly commissioned UNITE system features a fully automatic quick-opening design, integrating the following processes within a single enclosed chamber:

• Filtration: Separates solids from liquids to form a filter cake.

• Suspension Washing: Removes residual impurities from the solid materials through washing.

• Vacuum Drying: Supports efficient moisture removal under controlled conditions.

• Automatic Discharge: Facilitates material discharge after processing.

• Integrated Cleaning: Enables equipment cleaning as part of the production workflow.

By completing these operations within one sealed chamber, the system eliminates intermediate material transfers and helps reduce the risk of external contamination and secondary pollution.

The integrated design also simplifies the production workflow, reduces equipment handling requirements, and supports more consistent batch processing.

Sanitary Construction and Automated CIP Cleaning

To meet the cleanliness requirements of food additive production, UNITE's sanitary 3-in-1 equipment incorporates hygienic construction features.

All product-contact components are manufactured from sanitary-grade stainless steel. The internal surfaces feature mirror polishing, with a design intended to minimize dead zones and material residue.

The system is also equipped with an automatic Clean-in-Place (CIP) cleaning system, enabling comprehensive and efficient cleaning of the equipment's internal surfaces. This helps reduce manual cleaning intervention and supports hygienic production operations.

The combination of enclosed processing, sanitary materials, smooth internal surfaces, and automated cleaning provides a practical solution for food manufacturers seeking improved cleanliness and process control.

Improved Product Purity, Process Efficiency, and Production Economics

Compared with traditional multi-stage processing methods, the integrated UNITE 3-in-1 system offers several operational advantages:

Improved Product Purity and Batch Consistency

Integrated processing reduces the number of material transfer steps, helping minimize contamination risks and improve product purity and consistency between batches.

Reduced Solvent Losses

The enclosed process helps reduce solvent losses during material handling and processing, supporting more efficient resource utilization.

Lower Labor Requirements

Automated filtration, washing, drying, discharge, and cleaning processes reduce the need for manual intervention, helping lower labor costs.

Improved Energy Efficiency

The integrated equipment design simplifies the production process and helps reduce overall energy consumption compared with conventional multi-equipment arrangements.

Enhanced Production Efficiency

Combining multiple process stages into one unit reduces operational complexity and supports streamlined, standardized production.

Applications in Green Food Additive Manufacturing

The sanitary 3-in-1 filter wash dry system is suitable for the refined processing of various green food additives, including:

• Natural pigments

• Amino acids

• Food preservatives

• Plant extracts

Its integrated processing capabilities make it particularly suitable for applications requiring high product purity, hygienic production conditions, controlled material handling, and efficient solid-liquid separation.

Beyond food additives, similar sanitary filtration and separation solutions can also be customized for applications in biotechnology, fine chemicals, and other industries with demanding cleanliness requirements.

UNITE Continues to Advance Sanitary Filtration Technology
