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.

Benefits

  • Increases filtration efficiency with minimal air intake, maximizing output.
  • Reduces water usage in the vacuum pump, promoting eco-friendly operations.
  • Enhances product quality through precise pulp deposit control on the drum surface.
  • Minimizes maintenance with a robust stainless steel construction.
  • Integrates seamlessly into existing wine production lines, optimizing processing continuity.
