Burkert CUT Membrane - Filtration
The main reason for wine filtration is to clean it from residual particles, which in general means applying separation stages in different process steps, e.g. via C-CUT hollow fiber modules. Primarily, wine filtration is done to avoid progressing fermentation by remains of yeast in the medium (yeast separation). Further, progressing turbidity due to remains of proteins as well as the negative effect of wine inherent micro-organisms have to be avoided (fining / sterile filtration). In short: Wine filtration is required to achieve micro-biological stability and maintain perfect optical characteristics
With the export of wines to ever more distant countries, the market is calling for stable, clean wines that are free of ingredients that can trigger secondary fermentation (e.g. through the retention of yeasts) or other unintentional processes. But also wine drinkers who prefer youthful fresh and fruity wines place great emphasis on an absolutely clear, brilliant colour without deposit formation on the bottom of the bottle.
CUT Membrane Technology was founded in April, 2004 as an innovative manufacturer of membranes and modules for the most different applications in areas like chemistry, environ­mental studies, food industry, metal processing and many others.
CUT produces a wide variety of tubular, hollow fibre, PP and spiral wound modules and we offer our customers a comprehen­sive range of individually made micro, ultra and Nano filtration membranes and modules
We have following modules as ,
1. T-CUT – Tubular modules for microfiltration and ultrafiltration
2. C-CUT – Hollow fiber modules for microfiltration and ultrafiltration
3. T-CUT PP – Tubular modules for microfiltration
4. S-CUT – (4S / 4I design) Spiral wound modules for micro-, ultra- and Nano filtration
a. Capillary/Hollow fibre module
b. Tubular membrane module
c. Spiral wound module
