Wine and beverage grade PS filter cartridges are designed to
comply with all FDA requirements and EC directives for food and
beverage manufacturing and food contact. Polyethersulfone is
low protein binding and a good choice for fermented beverage
filtrations. The unique dual membrane design retains organic and
other contaminants while allowing valuable flavor components
through the filter. VPS Filter Cartridges are flushed with high
purity water to remove manufacturing debris and extractables
that may affect the taste of the product. VPS filters are configured
to increase the surface area, give maximum throughput and
handle cleaning and sanitization protocols well. Each module
is tested to ensure integrity and will remove all particulate and
organic materials at the rated pore size.
