Anhydro® BlueLight Whitening System®

Product Type(s) : Whitening Systems
Description :

Until now, manufacturers worldwide relied on activated carbon for removal of riboflavin to create a whiter lactose powder. Those days are over. Introducing the BlueLight Whitening System – a breakthrough innovation that harnesses blue light technology to remove the yellow color of riboflavin to get white lactose powder. This cutting-edge solution not only offers cost savings but also promotes environmental friendliness.

DIMENSIONS & SPECIFICATIONS

Integration and Compatibility

The BlueLight system integrates seamlessly with the existing process by connecting it to a process pipe upstream of the crystallization tanks. Ideally, the integration is preferred at temperatures ranging from 50-75°C and with low turbidity conditions. The efficiency of the system will vary based on the specific conditions at the integration point, and this can be determined accurately through field tests using a rental unit.
