Continuous flotation unit for grape juice
In the wine and fruit juice production industry, efficient clarification of grape must and fruit juices is essential. Traditional sedimentation processes are often slow and require long holding times, causing delays in production.
Continuous solid separation for grape must and juices
The Flottaflux unit from Padovan ensures continuous separation of solids from grape must and fruit juices utilizing the dispersed gas activated flotation process. Unlike settling, this flotation process disperses air or inert gas in the juice, and the finely subdivided bubbles attach to the suspended solids, making them lighter and causing them to rise. Prior to flotation, the juice is enzymatically treated and clarified to flocculate colloidal substances, optimizing the separation efficiency. By integrating this technology, the Flottaflux unit achieves rapid and continuous clarification, which is particularly beneficial in processes where traditional settling is inefficient. This system is ideal for both grape must and various fruit juices, reducing production time and improving overall efficiency.
