Elements that are insoluble in wine are taken out before bottling it. Wine clarification includes filtration, cooling, racking, etc.
Wine Filtration Wine filtration involves passing it through a filtering medium that accumulates particles that are larger than the filter openings.
- Coarser depth filtration
- Fine filtration
- Surface filtration
- Cross-flow filtration
- Micro-filtration
Membrane Pre-filtration - Food and beverage filtration plays a big role in saving and extending the life of microporous membrane filters.
- Final membrane filters benefit from a pre-filter upstream within the system.
- Pre-filters help in safeguarding the comparatively costly final filter. This enhances the service tenure and reduces the overall cost.
Water Filtration Be it about cleaning the bottle, sanitisation, washing, etc, clean water is essential for all. This highlights the importance of
commercial water filtration.
- Filtering the water is essential before using it in the system so that the system doesn’t get contaminated during wine productions process.
- Elemental and biological control is needed for water that is to be used in cooler blending or bottle washing processes. This lowers the harmful agents in water and saves the product from spoilage.
- Filters for lowering chlorine level
- Filters for reducing microbe level
- Filters for controlling particles
Final Membrane Filtration - These are the microporous membrane filters assisting in keeping microorganism level low in the wine.
- These membranes help in eradicating microbes that might cause fermentation again or generate bizarre flavour.
Diatomaceous Earth (DE) Trap Filtration - DE filters can release small amounts of undesirable DE fines in the wine during the process.
- DE trap filter is used by wineries to catch these unwanted DE fines before they move further.
- It is also used in filtration of gas and air.
- DE trap filtration is used to control microorganisms in water that is used in wineries.
