Juice Appliication with PCI Membranes K19 modules

During an extended site trial at one of Döhler plants, PCI Membranes’ K19 modules with BPA free housings were tested alongside competitor products. The feedback received from the operations team was highly positive. Upon installation, operators enquired about the visual transparency of the K19 modules compared to other competing brands they had used. We explained the differences in material composition and the reasons behind the reduced transparency. This was well understood and accepted by the team. 

More importantly, the mechanical durability and robustness of the PCI Membranes’ cores stood out. Operators at the plant expressed strong satisfaction, stating that our K19 modules appear “virtually indestructible” and perform reliably under operational conditions—unlike some of the competing brands they have used in the past, which reportedly fail at least once per shift.

Following the one-year operation, no issues were reported with our K19 modules and the performance met all expectations. As a result, the client has expressed plans to purchase further K19 modules from PCI Membranes’ with BPA free versions during the next scheduled membrane replacement cycle. PCI Membranes will be recommended within other Döhler locations across the Globe, and that they are open to hosting further trials if this will be mutual benefits for both companies.
