PVDF has the lowest protein and color binding of any common membrane used in cartridges. Lower binding also leads to less plugging and better cleaning of proteins – a leading cause of membrane blockage over time.

Blaudieck has long been the gold standard of hoses, because it holds up like no other. It's long service life and ability to stand up to the rigors of modern wine production make it the proven value for the money. Just ask a winemaker that uses it!

Please join Gusmer Enterprises for an informational session presented around Process Filtration and Microbial Quality Assurance at Bottling.

Who should attend?
Bottling and Production Managers/Supervisors, QA-QC Managers/Supervisors, Lab Technicians, Sanitation Personnel, Microbiologists, Winemakers and staff.

CLICK HERE for full details and to Register. Locations include: Charlottesville, VA - Lancaster, PA - Lake Geneva, NY

Session 1: Upstream Clarification

• Learn about new technologies for upstream filtration, as well as optimizing existing processes.
• Topics include: crossflow filtration, sheet and lenticular clarification, and wine preparation for bottling.

Session 2: Final Bottling Filtration

• Optimize your final filtration process prior to bottling. Final filtration is the ultimate guarantee of a wine's quality and microbial stability.
• Topics include: filter and membrane options, running the filtration, integrity testing, and maximizing throughput and filter economics.

Session 3: Microbial Monitoring and Testing

• Adhering to best-in-practice procedures and test materials allows you to check the bottling process and product quality.
• Topics include: micro testing options and equipment and troubleshooting contamination.

Each of the three sessions is presented in a small group format with time for questions and answers. Gusmer will also have additional personnel available to answer questions during sessions, during breaks, at the complimentary lunch, or after the program has finished.

Gusmer Enterprises, Inc. is a leading manufacturer of oak products for the wine industry. As a pioneer in the oak adjunct market, Gusmer introduced the use of Oak-Mor granular oak to the winemaking process in the early 1970’s. With the launch of our Oak Avantage, we now offer a wide range of chips and granular oak products to wineries worldwide.

Gusmer is uncompromising in raw material selection. Only the highest quality American and French oak from premium heartwood qualifies for our programs. Our proprietary toasting process brings out very distinct oak attributes, such as vanilla, butterscotch, clove, smoke, and others. Consistent, predictable results are the hallmark of Gusmer’s oak program, offering only the finest oak adjuncts.

Hydrogen Sulfide Preventing Yeast

There are several sources of hydrogen sulfide in wine fermentation, all of which culminate through the sulfate reduction pathway in yeast metabolism.  Most frequently hydrogen sulfide is an intermediate in the biosynthesis of Methionine and Cysteine, which are two amino acids required for cell growth and function. 

The strain UCD 932, a unique wine yeast recently isolated from grape must by the University of California, Davis, that is naturally incapable of producing hydrogen sulfide, has been commercialized by Renaissance Yeast through the development of four new strains.  Parent strains were selected for their favorable attributes in wine fermentation and crossbred with UCD 932 through conventional (non-GMO) breeding techniques to produce progeny with the desirable traits of the parent cells and the natural inability to produce hydrogen sulfide.

EMD Millipore’s premium granulated culture media offers several key advantages over traditional dehydrated culture media including:

  •  Each granule contains the exact ingredient proportions

  •  No settling or separation of culture media ingredients that can lead to inconsistent tests

  •  Faster dissolution

  •  No sticking to glassware that can cause culture media waste and inconsistent results

  •  Easier to weigh

  •  Reduced dust and inhaling of particles

  •  Many culture media formulations and versions available

With Chr. Hansen’s Viniflora malolactic bacteria, malolactic fermentation is typically completed in two to three weeks.  A high viable cell density means that malolactic fermentations will move forward in an efficient and timely manner.  Chr. Hansen not only checks its Viniflora cultures to assure their viable cell densities, but also checks the cells’ ability to survive inoculation and to convert malic acid.  These quality checks assure the highest success rate and fastest completions.  Use Viniflora to complete your fermentations before it gets too cold. 

Viniflora bacteria is available in six different strains to meet your winemaking requirements.

Gusmer’s newly developed range of filter sheet media, the Crystalline Silica Free (CSF) filter series, has been designed and formulated to be free of crystalline silica, yet offer the same outstanding performance of conventional diatomaceous earth based filter sheet media.  The CSF series utilizes specially sourced diatomaceous earth that is free of crystalline silica and other impurities, which not only makes for safer handling, but also more neutral in flavors and aromas.  Available is a full range of grades and sizes, the CSF series can be relied on for all aspects of wine processing.  Please contact your Gusmer representative below for more information.

What final membrane is best for your winery?

• PVDF cartridges provide many critical advantages over PES cartridge filters.

• The Vitipore II PVDF final membrane offers:
        • Lowest protein and color binding
        • Highest membrane area and number of pleats per device
        • Most throughput
        • Only major symmetric wine membrane
        • Higher membrane robustness and stress tolerance
        • Most reliable integrity testing

Total Cost of Filtration:

• An efficient winery must operate on a Total Cost of Filtration basis. This method of operating recognizes that superior filter performance will yield better process economics over time.

• A Total Cost of Filtration approach also recognizes that factors influenced by filter performance are often more costly than the filters themselves. These factors include:
        • Filter Cartridge Cost
        • Wine Lost or Damaged
        • Bottling Line Downtime and Labor
        • Cleaning and Sterilization Water and Chemicals
        • Quality Assurance Personnel and Materials
        • Product Holds
        • Product Spoilage and Recalls

• A high quality filter cartridge is key to maximizing total throughput and reducing the Total Cost of Filtration.
