Rotary drum vacuum filter for wine lees
In winemaking, handling by-products like wine lees can be challenging due to their high moisture content and volume. Efficient filtration is crucial to extract valuable components, reduce waste, and manage the by-products effectively, enhancing sustainability in the winemaking process.

Efficiently filter wine lees and other liquids.
The Taylo Rotary Drum Vacuum Filter by Padovan (Omnia Technologies) efficiently handles the filtration of wine lees, grape juice, starches, and sweeteners using diatomaceous earth or perlite precoat. This vacuum filtration system performs multiple stages, including precoating, filtration and cake drainage, cake cutting and discharge, filtrate extraction, and filter washing. Its design allows for continuous operation, reducing downtime and ensuring consistent performance. The application of a precoat on the filter drum improves the clarity of the filtrate and extends the filter cycle, making it particularly efficient for liquids with high solid content. Taylo’s robust construction ensures durability and can handle extensive usage. Ideal for the wine industry, this filtration system is also beneficial for other sectors requiring similar filtration needs, such as juice production and carbohydrate processing.
