October 16th – Criveller Group, a global leader in winemaking equipment and technology, is proud to announce the launch of the revolutionary C51 High Solids Cross Flow Filtration System. This cutting-edge system represents a significant advancement in winemaking technology, offering enhanced performance and efficiency for the wine industry.
The C51 High Solids Cross Flow Filtration System is engineered to meet the evolving needs of winemakers worldwide. It boasts key innovations including:
- Stainless Steel Membrane Technology: Unlike traditional membranes, the C51 employs stainless steel membranes that offer unparalleled durability and longevity. This innovative design ensures consistent and reliable filtration performance, reducing maintenance costs and downtime.
- High Solids Handling Capability: The C51 is engineered to handle high solids loads with ease, making it an ideal choice for wine lees filtration. This capability ensures minimal product loss and maximum wine recovery (can be up to 90% recovery), ultimately improving the overall winemaking process.
- Exceptional Flow Rates: Criveller’s C51 High Solids Cross Flow boasts significantly higher flow rates compared to conventional lees cross flow systems. In some cases, winemakers can expect flow rates up to 2 to 3 times greater, accelerating the filtration process and allowing for increased productivity without compromising wine quality.
- User-Friendly Interface: Criveller Group understands the importance of user-friendly equipment. The C51 features an intuitive interface that simplifies operation and maintenance, allowing winemakers to focus on their craft.
- Eco-Friendly Design: Criveller Group remains committed to sustainability. The C51 minimizes waste and water consumption, making it an environmentally responsible choice for wineries of all sizes.
Not only does the C51 deliver unmatched efficiency, but it also raises the bar for wine quality. When compared to traditional rotary vacuum drum filters, the C51 boasts superior performance in key quality metrics. These include:
- NTU (Nephelometric Turbidity Units): The C51’s advanced filtration technology significantly reduces NTU levels in the filtered wine, ensuring crystal-clear clarity and visual appeal.
- Dissolved Oxygen Pickup: The C51 minimizes the risk of oxygen exposure during filtration, resulting in substantially lower levels of dissolved oxygen pickup. This preservation of wine integrity is crucial for maintaining the wine’s freshness and taste.
- Aroma Preservation: The C51’s gentle filtration process safeguards the delicate aromas and flavors of the wine, preserving its distinctive characteristics and ensuring that the consumer experiences the wine as the winemaker intended.
Our commitment to innovation and excellence has led us to develop this state-of-the-art solution, which we believe will redefine winemaking filtration. With stainless steel membrane technology at its core, the C51 offers winemakers reliability, efficiency, and cost savings like never before.
The C51 High Solids Cross Flow Filtration System is now available for wineries seeking to enhance their filtration processes. For more information, please contact one of our offices (707) 431 2211 in Healdsburg, CA or (905) 357 2930 in Ontario, Canada.
