Kieselgur filter for beer filtration

Achieve crystal-clear beer without compromising flavor through efficient kieselgur filtration, optimized for rapid processing and seamless integration into high-speed production lines.

Filters and Discharges Beer and Beverages

The NF automatically discharged horizontal disk kieselgur filter from Della Toffola is engineered for efficient beer and beverage filtration. By maintaining the filter cake’s integrity even during process interruptions, this system offers seamless operation and high-quality outcomes without thermal intervention. Specifically designed for large-scale operations, it effectively filters liquids with minimal suspended solids, making it ideal for producing lager, pale ale, non-alcoholic beer, and more. Its centrifugal discharge feature streamlines emptying and cleaning, while the robust AISI 304 stainless steel construction ensures longevity. Compliant with the 97/23/EC PED directive, the unit integrates seamlessly into existing lines, enhancing processing efficiency with models ranging from 5 to 50 m².
