This stainless steel membrane filtration system is specially designed for the fine filtration of fermented beverages, widely applicable to beer, mead, fruit wine and other liquid products.
 
The whole machine is constructed with food-grade SUS304, featuring polished filter tanks, each tank has 3 pleated filter elements, integrated pipe manifolds and a movable frame with casters for easy transportation and installation. Each filter tank is equipped with a pressure gauge to real-time monitor internal operating pressure, which effectively avoids overpressure damage to filter elements and ensures stable filtration performance. A pump is configured to transfer liquid efficiently.
 
A complete control cabinet is used control pump speed, equiped emergency stop button and control switches, enabling convenient operation and process parameter adjustment.
 
Multiple filter cartridge precision options are available to match different production demands: from coarse pre-filtration to sterile fine filtration, users can select corresponding filter elements to remove yeast, suspended solids, protein precipitates, colloids and tiny impurities in liquor. After filtration, the liquid achieves clear and bright appearance, stable flavor and extended shelf life without altering the original taste of beer and mead.
 
The unit adopts a modular parallel design, supporting online backwashing and easy filter cartridge replacement, which greatly reduces downtime for cleaning and maintenance. All pipeline connections are wrapped with sanitary quick fittings, fully complying with food and beverage hygiene standards, suitable for small-batch craft brewing workshops and medium-sized beverage production lines.
