Pall Oenoflow
Good news for cideries and wineries in B.C., as Cellar Dweller says it has two new High Solids Crossflow Filter (HSXF) units on hand.
Cellar Dweller already operates four Pall Oenoflow crossflow filtration units with capacities ranging from up to 3000 to 9000 litres per hour, but the newer ‘High Solids’ units bring new benefits.
“The target of these units are mostly wines and ciders that are too high in solids for our regular crossflow units to handle, and where we would normally utilize RVDF (a rotary vacuum drum filter),” Cellar Dweller says.
“The benefits of using HSXF is multifold. We don’t need to use a filtration aid which is needed for RVDF. The HSFX units give the same filtration quality as our regular crossflow units.
The HSFX units also have much lower O2 pickup compared to RVDF, as they operate under a nitrogen blanket.”
As well, these new HSFX units can operate under pressure with carbonated beverages with high amounts of CO2, which allows Cellar Dweller to filter Charmat wines, ciders and beers.
“We will be targeting wine and juice lees, wines with heavy bentonite loading,” the company says.
