Membrane filtration unit for hard seltzer production
In the rapidly growing hard seltzer market, the production process demands the creation of a clear, tasteless, and aroma-free neutral alcoholic base. This is essential for ensuring the final product meets quality standards and consumer preferences.

The GEA Membrane Filtration Unit has been designed specifically to produce a clear, colorless, tasteless, and aroma-free neutral alcoholic base.
