Filtration Application Notes for Sheet Filter Presses Operation Typically, a filter press consists of a series of plates equipped with inlet and outlet ports. Depending on the type of press, the ports may be internally or externally ported. When the press is closed and tightened through manual or hydraulic means, the plates, gasketed ports, and sheets are closed to form a tight seal for feed and filtrate passage. The unfiltered product passes through the inlet ports of the plate to the depth filter sheet. The depth filter sheet separates the undesired contaminant and allows the cleaned product to flow to the outlet plate. The outlet plate distributes the cleaned product to the discharge or outlet port. Advantages of Filter Presses • Very versatile—full range of wine filtration applications • Large filter area with additional surface area available with more plates • Flexible, modular design with ability to conduct two stage filtrations • Good process scalability from bench to production scale • Consistent and reliable filtration results • Low maintenance costs Outlet Port Stationary stainless steel plate Inlet Port Filtration Flow Diagram (top view) Outlet Plates Head plate Inlet Plates Head plate Filter Sheets Filter Sheets Sliding stainless steel plate 40 2012 - 2013 Gusmer Enterprises, Inc. Wine Products Catalog Troubleshooting Similar to other separation and filtration equipment, regular cleaning, maintenance, and inspections should be conducted on filter presses. There are a number of common problems that can be resolved with regular inspection, maintenance, and training. Potential Issue or Concern result resolution Worn gaskets at inlet Product losses Replace gaskets, use or outlet plates supplier information for proper thickness Insufficient press Product losses Properly tighten press with clamping manual or hydraulic closure. Use of leverage bar may be needed Missing guide rods Product losses Manually align sheets; purchase replacement guide rods Misaligned filter Lower throughputs, Depth filter sheets may be sheets product losses placed in wrong direction. Place cockled or rough side of filter towards the inlet plate; align sheet parallel with plate High pressure/ Less efficient filtrations Ensure consistent product excessive flow rates (premature blinding, flow at recommended less retention, contaminant flow rates and differential break-through, product loss) pressures for filter grade Customer Support Gusmer Enterprises, Inc. is one of the world’s largest depth filter manufacturers and distributors of beverage processing aids and equipment.

EMD Millipore Filters for Microbial Management Because a Lot Depends on What’s Not in Your Wine For over 50 years, Millipore has supplied wineries around the world with microbial management solutions that monitor and remove microorganisms and other contaminants from wine. Trusted as the “gold standard” by generations of winemakers, Millipore products for clarification, pre-sterile, and sterile filtration will ensure microbial stability while maintaining quality, clarity, flavor, and aroma. Gusmer is proud to offer a full range of Millipore products, including those for filtration and microbial monitoring at bottling and throughout the winery. A selection of popular filter cartridges is presented in this section. See page 49 for Millipore’s microbial monitoring products. Sterile Filtration Applications - Vitipore ® II & Vitipore ® II Plus Constructed with Durapore ® polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membrane, the Vitipore II and Vitipore II Plus cartridges have been engineered to meet the rigorous and varied conditions of wine filtration, sterilization and cleaning regimens. Millipore’s sterile membrane filters have a solid reputation for high flow rates and long service life, with a very low affinity for protein and pigment binding. Available in 0.22 µm, 0.45 µm, 0.65 µm and 1.0 µm (absolute) pore size. Prefiltration and Clarification Applications – Bevigard M, Polygard ® CR & Polygard ® CE Millipore’s dual-layer 1.2 µm over 0.5 µm Bevigard M prefilter offers the best protection of sterile membrane filters. The outer 1.2 µm layer removes large particulates, colloidal materials, and conglomerates while the 0.5 µm layer offers the closest prefiltration rating to a 0.45 µm membrane to ensure optimal bottle filtration service life. Polygard CR clarification filters are an ideal bottling filter when sterile filtration is not required. The high dirt loading capacity of the Polygard CR makes it a reliable trap filter for stable wines that require a minimal filtration prior to bottling. The Polygard CR is available in pore size ratings up to 100 µm. Millipore has dozens of other prefiltration and clarification cartridges that can be tailored to specific applications. Millipore uses robotic technology in their pharmaceutical grade clean-room to assure the highest quality in their Vitipore II filter cartridges (pictured above). Polygard CE is a pleated clarification filter composed of polypropylene, glass fibers, and diatomaceous earth specifically developed for the wine industry to efficiently clarify and reduce microbial loads of wines especially high in colloidal materials. The Polygard CE is the perfect choice for clarification prior to pre/final filtration, reducing micro loads in otherwise well filtered wines, or to reduce the micro-count of wine prior to shipment. Gas Filtration Applications - Aerex ® Sterile filtration of gases can be crucial to maintaining microbial stability on a bottling line. The Aerex features a highly hydrophobic (water repelling) PTFE 0.2 µm membrane that allows for high gas flow rates, prevents wetting, and maintains a sterile barrier. www.gusmerwine.com 41 Filtration
