Wine

Clarifying wine involves removing solids and yeast from fermentation.  Pall's filtration systems are a reliable and economical solution to clarifying processes previously requiring filter aids and/or centrifuges.  Our technology can limit the costs associated with the subsequent filtration stages by removing the majority of contaminants in this initial production stage.

Pall's line of clarifying filters for wine includes:

• Oenofine XL Filtration Systems
• BXF-Fine Active Highly pure calcium-sodium bentonite
• BXF-Fine Highly Pure Calcium-Sodium Bentonite
• OenoFlow™ XL Microfiltration System
• Oenoflow™ XL-A Crossflow Microfiltration System
• Oenoflow™ XL-S Crossflow Microfiltration System
• OenoFlow™ XL-E Crossflow Microfiltration System
• SUPRAdisc™ II Depth Filter Modules
• K Series Filter Sheets
• Profile® II Filter Cartridges

The removal of yeast and most bacteria in the pre-bottling filtration step results in increased efficiency in the final filtration, reducing overall costs. Pall's wide range of pre-filter products eliminate a large quantity of contaminants and prevent premature blockage of downstream filters. They maintain absolute performance, are highly efficient and mechanically strong.

Pall's line of wine pre-filters includes:

• Oenoclear™ II Filter Cartridges
• Oenoclear™ II Filter Cartridges (French Version)
• Oenoclear™ II Filter Cartridges (Italian Version)
• Oenoclear™ II Filter Cartridges (Spanish Version)
• Oenoclear™ W Grade Filter Cartridges 
• Oenofil Filtration System
• Profile® Star Filters
• Profile® II Filters
• SUPRAdisc™ II Depth Filter Modules
• K Series Filter Sheets
• Ultipor GF Plus® Filters

Microbial stabilization or final filtration before bottling removes microorganisms that can cause spoilage.  To ensure a clear and bright wine, Pall's final filtration solutions provides a biologically stable wine respecting the wine's flavor and unique characteristics. This final barrier ensures consistent and reproducible production runs each and every time.

Pall's line of final filters for wine includes:   

• Ultipor® Nylon₆₆ Filters
• Oenofil Filtration System
• Oenopure™ II Filter Cartridges (Chinese Version)
• Oenopure™ II Filter Cartridges (English Version)
• Cartouches filtrantes Oenopure™ II (French Version)
• Oenopure™ II Filterkerzen (German Version)
• Oenopure™ II: nuova cartuccia filtrante (Italian Version)
• Cartuchos Filtrantes Oenopure™ II (Spanish Version)

Filter integrity testing is a fast and accurate method to assess the removal efficiency of a given filter in situ. The Forward Flow test, developed by Pall, is internationally acknowledged as a truly objective and non-destructive method to check if the filter still meets specification and is correctly installed. Test results provide a clear and accurate indication of filter integrity prior to its use.

Brand awareness and product consistency are imperative. A final filter is used to eliminate the risk of microbial contamination and therefore protect the quality of the final product. Integrity testing with a Palltronic^® Compact Star is a reliable, cost effective and operator-friendly method to predict filter integrity. This information is used to ensure quality manufacturing standards.

Gas Filtration
For sparkling wines, gas impurities during carbonation can affect product uniformity.  Pall's technology purifies carbon dioxide and lowers the process risks associated with carbonation.  Filters for tank venting, air and steam comprise the balance of our gas utility technologies.

• CO₂ /Air:  Emflon® PFAW Filters
• CO₂ /Air:  Emflon® PFRW Filters
• Steam: PSS® Filters

Water Filtration
Water used in wine making must meet the highest standards for purity.  For filter flushing, sanitization or for irrigation, Pall's filtration systems enable water free of particles, colloids and micro-organisms.
