Food & Beverage

Food Needs Purity.

Activated carbon for decolourisation, deodorisation, and process purification—controlled ash and extractables.

Food & Beverage Application

FoodMAX™

Activated carbon for decolourisation, deodorisation, and process purification—controlled ash and extractables.

FoodMAX is designed for purification in sugar, edible oil, beverages, fermentation, and ingredient processing where ash, pH, metals, and extractables must be controlled. Offered as PAC for batch contact and GAC for polishing duties.

FoodMAX™

Process Applications

Decolourisation (Batch Contact)

Decolourisation (Batch Contact)

PAC removes colour bodies and impurities prior to filtration. Particle size is tuned for adsorption rate and filterability.

Deodorisation / Polishing

Deodorisation / Polishing

GAC beds polish process streams and stabilise organoleptic quality. Media selection balances pressure drop and service life.

Process Aid Applications

Process Aid Applications

Selection considers upstream chemistry, filtration equipment, and impurity profile for consistent results.

What It Handles

  • Colour bodies
  • Odour compounds
  • Residual organics
  • Process impurities (application-dependent)
  • Variable batch conditions

Engineered to Deliver

  • Controlled Ash & pH: Prevents pH shifts and trace mineral leaching into finished products.
  • Low Metals/Extractables: Ensures compliance with strict food safety regulations and standards.
  • Consistent Filtration: Optimizes processing speeds and minimizes filter cake blockages.
  • Batch-wise COA: Guarantees traceability and compliance across production lots.
  • Halal/Kosher/FDA Roadmap: Roadmap support and certifications aligned to global supply chains.
