REDA Pure Brine brine filtration reduces bacteria and moulds in cheese brine. The unit cleans the brine continuously, unlike periodic cleaning or regeneration by pasteurisation.
Steiner Ukraine is the REDA distributor in Ukraine. The common principles of REDA equipment, including UHT configurations and separator design, are described on the page REDA.
How does Pure Brine brine filtration work?
The brine is cleaned in-line and returned to the tank. Bacteria and moulds leave with the concentrate, with minimal concentrate losses.
The unit uses microfiltration on spiral-wound membranes. The pressure is selected to achieve the required concentration ratio and permeate flow for the production task.
Why does brine microfiltration not change its composition?
Microfiltration does not change the pH of the brine. Therefore, the brine does not need to be corrected after cleaning.
Process parameters are optimised to reduce investment and operating costs. Separate brine regeneration cycles by pasteurisation are not needed: the brine is cleaned by membranes directly in the line.

The volume of brine the unit serves depends on the set regeneration time, not only on the tank volume.
What are the benefits of continuous brine filtration?
- The brine stays clean without stopping production.
- Cleaning cycles are minimal.
- Minimal dead volume reduces the consumption of service fluids.
- Maintenance is simple.
Pure Brine works together with other REDA cheese-making equipment: cheese vats and cheese forming units.

FAQ
Does filtration change the pH of the brine?
No. Microfiltration does not change the pH of the brine.
How often does the unit need cleaning?
The unit runs in recirculation 24 hours a day with a minimal number of cleaning cycles.
What does Pure Brine capacity depend on?
On the set brine regeneration time: 2 days, 3–4 days or 5–6 days.
