Food Production
Puragen’s food production applications improve the colour, taste, clarity and consistency of sweeteners, including cane sugar and syrups.
Our advanced filtration media and mobile filters remove unwanted flavours, colour impurities and processing residues to help manufacturers meet food safety standards, improve product quality and increase consumer satisfaction.
Contaminants we remove
Puragen’s food production applications remove a wide range of impurities to produce cleaner, better-quality sweeteners:
Activated carbon products for Food Production
Puragen offers tailored activated carbon solutions to refine sweeteners effectively, ensuring superior purity and cost-efficient processing.
Granular Activated Carbon (GAC)
Ideal for continuous filtration systems, GAC traps colours, dissolved contaminants, pesticides and residual processing chemicals in syrups and liquid sweeteners. Its long-lasting structure allows for extended use in industrial purification setups. GAC can also be reactivated, offering a lower environmental footprint than single-use PAC products.
Powdered Activated Carbon (PAC)
Used in single-use batch processing, PAC effectively removes colorants, off-flavors and organic impurities from liquid sugar solutions, high-fructose corn syrup and other sweeteners. It provides rapid adsorption kinetics and is easily filtered out after treatment.
Mobile filters for Food Production
Puragen’s range of mobile filters are optimised for a variety of liquid applications. We can adapt our filters to integrate with any specific site installation requirements.
