Liquid Modular Skids

Donaldson liquid modular skids enable efficient point-of-use filtration of process and ingredient liquids and can be assembled modularly with the flexibility to add or remove filtration stages as needed.

Skids come with pre-mounted valves and manometers and are available in different sizes, depending on the required number of filter cartridges.  An easy connection to a Clean-In-Place (CIP) system is incorporated into the skid design.

The "plug & play" functionality enables fast and fluent integration into the manufacturing plant and helps to save maintenance costs and production downtime.

Skids can be used wherever the filtration of process and ingredient liquids is required in a flexible and modular way. Examples of applications are:

  • Clarification and sterilization of all types of water 
  • Clarification and sterile filtration of fermented beverages, especially beer
  • Clarification and final filtration of beverages 

Full Flow / Sterile Water Skids

Donaldson Sterile Water Skids are specifically designed around our Donaldson LifeTec™ filter elements. We offer best-in-class filtration for clarification, trap-filtration, and cold sterile filtration of water, beer, and wine.

A wide range of applications is possible: From removing particles or enabling sterile filtration of your municipal water to catching remaining yeast and bacteria after conventional filtration applications and sterile filtration right in front of your bottling line.

The skid design follows a tailor-made approach, with standard housings on a skid that can be designed to your needs. Configurations with one to three pre-filtration steps are equally possible as parallel configurations for redundancy or continuous filtration.

The skids use standard components from well-known and approved suppliers meeting hygienic design standards to provide reliability and performance.
