Bared Crossflow filters

Application

Bared cross-flow filters can be used as a sterilisation unit to block fermentation or as a filtration unit. The following applications are ideal for cross-flow filtration:

• Obtain clear products (turbidity <1 NTU) from turbid cider and wines which are normally too difficult or time-consuming to treat using the conventional filtration method.
• Single filtration step of wine & cider
• Production of wines and other drinks with sugar residue
• Prevention of malolactic fermentation
• Improved tartrate stability
• Filtration of sparkling wines

Features

Conventional filtration involves liquid passing through a filter surface in a perpendicular way. With crossflow filtration, where a semi-permeable membrane is used, liquid passes both through and across the membrane, keeping the surface clean of residues.

The benefits of using cross-flow filtration can include:

• Clarifying substances & filtering aids are not required - save on production, storage, labour and disposal costs
• Charging/discharging filter with filter medium not required - save on labour and costs
• Less filtration stages & single filtration for cider & wine
• Save on labour and operator mistakes
• Elimination of processing time for clarification and sedimentation - less tanks ‘locked-up’
• Continuous running - filtration cycles can last 20 hours and more
• Consistent flow rate - flow rate established at beginning of cycle and averagely kept constant
• Integral product recovery - lowest unfiltered volumes (0.2% of total volume)
• Energy saving - 0.09kW/100 litres of filtered product
