An efficient winery must operate on a Total Cost of Filtration basis. This recognizes that superior filter performance will yield better economics over time. Filter cost MUST consider total gallons throughput per change-out. A Total Cost of Filtration approach also realizes that factors influenced by filter performance are often more costly than the filters themselves.

These factors include:

    • Filter Cartridge Cost
    • Filter Throughput
    • Wine Lost 
    • Bottling Line Downtime and Labor
    • Cleaning and Sterilization Water and Chemicals
    • Product Spoilage and Recalls

The Vitipore II PVDF final membrane offers:

    • Lowest protein and color binding
    • Highest membrane area and number of pleats per device
    • Most throughput
    • Only major symmetric wine membrane
    • Higher membrane robustness and stress tolerance
    • Most reliable integrity testing
