Use the Wine Industry’s Most Trusted Sterile Membrane for This Year’s Bottling
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.
