Cross Flow Filters

Description

Tangential flow micro-filtration allows the filtering, clarification and micro-biological stabilization of your wine in one pass. The advanced engineering of the FTS cross-flow filters guarantees the full respect of the structural and organoleptic qualities of your wine.
Simple regeneration with warm water allows to quickly move from one cycle of filtering to another
Cleaning is carried out by common alkaline products (100% pure caustic soda)
The range of cross-flow filters also includes versions for carbonated beverages (sparkling wines, beer, etc), and products with a high suspended solids (must, fruitís juices, etc)

Polypropylene filtering membranes have a capillary structure with symmetrical open fiber pores
Membranes are fixed in stainless steel housings that are pre-assembled on a mobile skid, making the filters immediately ready to use

Feeding pump group built with stainless steel
Recycle pumps operating at low rotation speed but at high yield, all made of stainless steel
Back flush system for the periodic and automatic counter-washing of the membranes, carried out during the process with the filtered wine
Instrumentation control, transducers of pressure for the maintenance of the PTM pressure
Visual sight-glasses, sample valve, optional flow-meter, optional thermometer
Control board with PLC
Pneumatic valves for automated control (on semi-automatic models)
Semi-automatic (series FTS-SA): the cycle of filtration and the counter-washingare automatically managed

All the phases of process, from the filling up to the unloading and washing of the filter are automatically controlled
Buffer tank equipped with level control and automatic product inlet system control with the relevant pump
CIP tank for the complete washing of the pump and the pre-filter
System for the automatic washing phase control
PLC touch-screen instrumentation for the continuous control of pressures, temperatures, output and level in the buffer tank
Complete system of pneumatic valves for the operational managing of all the functions
Operational device for the final unloading of the filter
