CROSS FLOW MEMBRANES

Our capillary microfiltration membranes are the number one choice for the filtration of still and sparkling wines, must, and juices. Due to the great improvements in product quality and taste, production costs, and environmental impact, more than 20 percent of global wine production is now filtered with our membranes. Although the R-100 module was specifically developed for wine filtration, it is also an exceptional choice for dairy products and for oil/water separation. The module contains an outer housing (vessel) and an insert composed of about 2,100 capillaries.
