CROSSFLOW CLARIFICATION
TO REDUCE WINE LOSS
WINEMAKING CHALLENGE: LARGE VOLUMES OF WINE TO FILTER AND NOT MUCH TIME
Production schedules can press your filtration system and your staff for time. Filtration requirement come from many sources:
The filter is down again
Our goal is to create less waste
We are treating for smoke taint
We lose too much wine when filtering
- If you system is inoperable, you can miss critical bottling schedules.
- Many wine treatment options using reverse osmosis, including VA removal and smoke taint require pre-filtration.
- Diatomaceous Earth (DE) requires messy solids handling and hauling to a landfill.
- You spent a lot of money on fruit and barrels and each gallon to the drain is significant.
WINESECRETS CAN GUIDE YOU THROUGH THESE PROBLEMS.
Winesecrets utilizes cross flow filtration for solids removal and clarification. How does it work?
- Wine passes tangentially across a membrane. Pressure difference causes small materials to pass through.
- Solid do not pass through and are swept away in the tangential flow, keeping the filter surface clear.
- Wine in nominally filtered to 0.25 microns.
Your cross-flow filtered wine is:
- Ready for bottling on schedule.
- Clean enough for taint removal.
- Filtered with no loss of volume or solids handling.
