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.
