Absolute PES Membrane Filters for Cold Stabilization of Beer and Wine

Product Overview

Ensure the biological stability and clarity of your beverages with our Pharmaceutical-Grade Membrane Filter Cartridges. Specifically designed for wineries, breweries, and distilleries, these filters provide absolute retention of spoilage organisms (yeast and bacteria) without stripping the product of its essential color, flavor, or aroma profiles.

Our membranes (available in Polyethersulfone PES or Nylon 66) offer high flow rates and low protein binding, making them the ideal choice for final filtration prior to bottling (Cold Stabilization).

Key Features & Benefits

• Absolute Bacterial Retention: Validated for complete removal of yeast (Saccharomyces), mold, and spoilage bacteria (Lactobacillus, Pediococcus).

• Preserves Sensory Qualities: Low protein-binding characteristics ensure that the taste, color, and "body" of the wine or beer remain intact.

• High Throughput & Long Life: Asymmetric membrane structure prevents premature clogging, allowing for larger batch processing per cartridge.

• Steam Sterilizable & Sanitizable: Withstands repeated SIP (Steam-in-Place) cycles and hot water sanitization to ensure a sterile process environment.

• Integrity Testable: 100% integrity tested during manufacturing; easily testable onsite (Bubble Point / Diffusional Flow) to guarantee performance.

• Regulatory Compliance: Manufactured in a cleanroom environment; Materials meet FDA CFR 21 requirements for food contact.

Industry Applications

Wineries (Wine Filtration)

• Pre-Bottling Final Filtration: Use 0.45 micron or 0.65 micron membranes to remove yeast and bacteria, preventing re-fermentation in the bottle.

• Sterile Filtration: Use 0.2 micron membranes for premium sweet wines requiring absolute sterility.

• Crystal Removal: Polishing filtration to ensure brilliance and clarity.

Breweries (Beer Manufacturing)

• Cold Stabilization: A non-thermal alternative to pasteurization that extends shelf life while keeping the beer "fresh."

• Trap Filtration: Removal of DE (Diatomaceous Earth) fines and residual yeast after primary filtration.

• Draught Beer Lines: Point-of-use filtration to ensure safety.

Distilleries (Spirits)

• Char Removal: Polishing filtration for whiskey, vodka, and gin to remove barrel char and haze.

• Blending Water Filtration: Ensuring the water used for dilution is sterile and free of particulates.
