KHS Group, one of the world's leading manufacturers of filling and packaging systems for the beverage and liquid food industries, launches a new beer membrane filtration concept, Innopro EcoClear, at the BrauBeviale 2023.

KHS Group is one of the leading player for the beverage and liquid food industries, offering products and services ranging from system solutions to filling and packaging. With the launch of its new membrane filtration Innopro EcoClear, it is further complementing its product offering. The KHS system is based on compact units consisting of six beer filtration modules each, a modular system that can easily be expanded to cater to all required capacities. It is operated in cross-flow mode and enables a continuous operation, significantly improving operational uptime. In addition, the beer filtration membranes of NX Filtration offer strong advantages in terms of constant high quality and sustainability, reducing the consumption of energy, chemicals and water in the process.

An Innopro EcoClear system, based on 4 units with in total 48 filtration modules is prepared as first customer project. In general, the new solution will be available for order from summer 2024 onwards.
