Water Treatment For
The Food and Dairy Industry
Filtration is extremely important in the dairy industry as it helps to ensure products are safe for consumption, have a longer shelf life, and overall, produce a higher-quality final product. It ensures milk and other dairy products are free from contaminants like bacteria, spores, and particulate matter. At Fileder, we offer effective filtration solutions for food and dairy businesses in the UK.

Advantages of Dairy Filters and Dairy Filtration
Dairy Filtration Solutions
As the quality of water can vary, we provide water filters to help dairy manufacturers maintain the quality of the water and eliminate any contaminants before it’s used in the process.
- Particulate removal (such as pulp) in juices. For this, bag filters and pleated filters are required.
- Bacteria removal in milk production using absolute-rated pleated filters.
- Reverse osmosis is generally used to remove water from some fluids to concentrate the desired liquid.
Without filtration from a reputable brand, dairy products can harbour harmful bacteria, unwanted impurities, and residual contaminants that can compromise taste, safety, and shelf life.
The Role of Water in the Dairy Sector
Water plays a crucial role in the dairy sector. It maintains the health of the animal the milk comes from, whilst helping clean, cool, and sanitise throughout the dairy production chain. Approximately 85-90% of milk is composed of water, making it essential to ensure its safety for consumption.
Why Filtration Matters in Dairy Processing
Dairy products are highly sensitive to microbial contamination and the build-up of particulates. It’s therefore important to invest in a high-quality dairy filtration system to:
- Improve the clarity and consistency of dairy products
- Reduce risk of spoilage and extend shelf life
- Protect downstream equipment and membranes
- Meet regulatory and hygiene standards
From milk and cheese to yoghurt and other whey-based products, filtration is a critical step in the production process to ensure product integrity.
Accreditations
At Fileder, we ensure our filters meet crucial standards so that they are in line with dairy industry regulations.
