High solids crossflow filter for wine filtration

Optimize filtration efficiency while minimizing operational costs with this innovative rotary crossflow filter, designed to handle high-solids liquid streams without the need for filter-aids, ensuring a pure end product with extended filtration cycles and minimal energy consumption.

Filters and Separates High Solids Liquids

The Dynamos High Solids Rotary Crossflow Filter from Padovan offers an innovative filtration technology specifically designed for high solids content liquids like wines, vinegars, juices, and dairy products. This dynamic rotary filter uses a series of rotating discs that facilitate continuous, self-cleaning filtration processes, eliminating the need for traditional filter aids. Achieving up to 95% filtrate recovery, the unit efficiently processes products directly from lees to bottle. The innovative back-wash system maintains high-quality filtration results with no red color reduction or oxygen pickup, due to minimal nitrogen sparging.

Typical applications include red and white wine clarification, balsamic vinegar processing, and grape juice purification. Boasting flow rates from 25-100 l/m²h with lees and filtration cycles up to 96 hours without cleaning, the filter requires substantially less energy than conventional systems. With its compact designs available in sizes from 1m² to 20m², Dynamos can be seamlessly integrated into existing production lines for versatile applications across wine, vinegar, juice, and dairy industries. The fully inspectable, open discs and self-cleaning capability ensure ease of maintenance, while its robust construction provides long-lasting performance.
