VinoClear MF

Summary

Product identification

The J-Series family of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) microfiltration membrane elements are designed for clarification of process streams and feature a nominal pore size of 0.3 micron.

Vinoclear Elements are used for removal of suspended solids and are intended to replace Diatomaceous Earth filtration. Main applications include wine and vinegar clarification.

The elements feature a Durasan® Cage patented outerwrap, wide process feed spacers, and polysulfone parts.
