Rotary vacuum filter for wine filtration
Enhance your wine production with efficient filtration of grape must and wine lees, reducing air intake and increasing drying surface for superior output in your processing line.

Filters and Clarifies Grape Must and Wine
The C 26 Rotary Vacuum Filter from Cadalpe is designed for winemakers and beverage producers seeking efficient filtration and clarification of grape must and wine. This single cavity filter features a unique design that minimizes unused filter area, reducing air intake and increasing drying surface for higher throughput. The filter uses a hydrodynamic system to maintain a homogeneous pre-cake suspension, along with a reversible positive displacement pump for consistent pulp input. The filtered fluid is extracted using a submersed electric pump, while an impeller regulates pulp deposit on the drum surface. A thermostatic control ensures low water consumption for the vacuum pump’s liquid ring, making the C 26 both energy-efficient and environmentally friendly. Entirely constructed from stainless steel, it is particularly effective in the wine-making sector for filtering grape must and recovering liquid from dregs. Its construction also allows for seamless integration into existing production lines, enhancing process efficiency and product quality.
