16” 4-High. Lenticular Module filtration is a method of depth media filtration which eliminates the hassle and mess of Plate & Frame style filters without needing to invest in more expensive membrane filter media.

Thanks to the original patented Padovon design, the filter plates: -Are plain and indeformable; -Assure an elevated drainage flow during filtration and precoating, besides a complete and accurate washing, even under the filtering cloth; -Are made of stainless steel AISI 304 sheet provided with drawn reliefs, against which is placed the filtering cloth made of stainless steel AISI 316L with a 65 micron mesh. The most significant feature consists in the lack of the drainage grid, a cause of pollution. Motorization for rotation of filter plates is equipped with hydraulic coupling. Greenfilter is equipped with a special inlet flow distributor that avoids vortexes and abnormal flows of liquid at both high and low outputs.

Removes VA and small quantities of alcohol The Sweetspotter was developed in 2005 for purposes of tackling small lots of wine for purposes of VA and 4Ep reduction. It was designed to be self operated and to put the processing capabilities in the hands of the artisan winemaker. Since then, this unit has gone on to trial and improve thousands of lots of wine. Its functionality has grown to include the removal of ethyl acetate, Pyrazine characters, Eucalyptol characters. It is also capable of adjusting TA or pH as well as alcohol Sweetspot trials and wine concentration using UF. Unique in its ability to run small lots at pressure without increasing the temperature of the wine, the Sweetspotter has truly changed the landscape of winemaking and unmasked the mystery of VA and taint removal. The heart of the unit is a pressure intensifier which utilizes the outgoing energy of the wine (pressurized wine stream) and uses this energy to increase the pressure of the incoming wine stream.

Used horizontal disk Kieselgur Filter for wine or beer, DE Filter, Manufactured by Della Toffola. The NF horizontal disk kieselgur filters are suitable for filtering wine/beer and perfect for filtering operations on large amounts of liquid with low percentages of solids in suspension because they combine very rapid working times with excellent filtering results. This type of filter relies on a unique system that keeps the filter cake intact even in the case of accidental interruptions in the filtering process. The centrifugal discharging of the cake makes the emptying and cleaning operations quick and easy, and servicing procedures also take up very little time because the filter’s structure has been designed to facilitate these activities to the utmost.

Total of 1,300 hours on it and was recently factory serviced with a rebuilt pump. The filter can handle 300-1000 gallons per hour depending on the initial clarity of the product. The unit does need to have the 3 filter modules replaced, which we had quoted at about $7,500 each. A new unit of this caliber was quoted at $80,000.
