Cross Flow Filters

Product Description

CROSS-FLOW FILTERS – FTS SERIES

• 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)

FTS POLYPROPYLENE MEMBRANES: THE ESSENTIAL COMPONENT OF THE SYSTEM

• 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

FTS MANUAL & SEMI-AUTOMATIC

• 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

FTS FULLY-AUTOMATIC

• 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
