Hollow Fiber membranes

Pore size: 0.2 µm nominal

No waste DE to dispose of

Less handling and processing of wine versus multi-step filtration

Separation of suspended solids respecting the organolectic characteristics and preserving the structure of the wine.

FDA and TTB compliant

Throughput: 400 - 1,500 gallons / hours

Wine temperature: 55°- 65° F (13°-18° C)

Max working pressure: 2.5 bar

Average wine loss: < 1 %

Cleaning agent: sodium hydroxide 1%, hot water 180° F (80° C)

All equipment is sanitized after each use.

Power : Dedicated receptacle within 100 feet                                                   
                          220 Volts tri- phase 60 Amp
                          480 Volts tri- phase 30 Amp

Receptacle: Hubbell style three poles + ground  30 A 480V / 60 A 240V

NO HARD WIRING will be done by our technicians. We can sell the receptacle
to be installed by your contractor. We will not perform the service without the necessary receptacle in place.

Water: Within 70 feet with 3/4" garden hose fitting.

Tanks: Wine tank within 70’ with Tri Clover fitting (above ground level). Sanitized tank.

Hoses: 1 1/2" or 2", sanitized, enough to reach the tanks.

Wine: Racked, blended  in tank.

Lot size:  Minimum 200 gallons.

Wine temperature: reds  55° - 65° F, whites  35° - 65° F

Brix: max 10°

Note:  No CO2, clarifying products, bentonite, seeds or pomace.

Turbidity: less than 200 NTU   

Caution: Blending wines after the filtration can compromise the filterability.
Wines with starting high NTUs (over 100) might not achieve turbidity <1 after filtration.
As with all filtrations, wine filterability cannot be guaranteed since fouling is based largely on the wine chemistry. pre-filtration is recommended prior to sterile filtration (0.45 µ) and bottling.
