Cross-flow filtration for wine and fruit juice

Filters and Clarifies Liquid and Slurry Products

The Cerinox MF from Bucher Unipektin is a versatile cross-flow filtration plant designed for the efficient processing of liquid and slurry products such as wine, cider, and fruit juices. Utilizing ceramic tubular membranes, this filtration system operates on the batch principle, optimizing flow rates by recirculating unfiltrate while producing high-quality filtrate. With semi-continuous operation capabilities, it allows the substitution of filtrate with fresh feed slurry or deaerated water, enhancing extract yield through diafiltration.

This compact plant features dual-flow modules that maximize packing density, reducing space requirements and simplifying maintenance via easy top-cover access. Available in standard units or tailor-made configurations, the Cerinox MF supports a range of automation levels—from manual to fully automated systems—integrating seamlessly into different production lines. It offers a reliable solution for achieving high filtrate quality while minimizing water and energy consumption through its efficient design and durable membranes. The system’s robust materials ensure longevity, reducing replacement and maintenance costs, and making it a dependable choice for diverse food and beverage applications worldwide.
