Juice filters

The 20x20 plate filter with a built-in pump is designed for the fine filtration of juice, wine, beer, oil and other food liquids to remove suspended particles and cloudiness. The replaceable cellulose filter cartridges are easy to change, whilst the stainless steel housing ensures a long service life and easy cleaning. The compact 30-plate design is suitable for medium-scale production and is available in a mobile (on wheels) or stationary version. It ensures a clear, consistent-quality product prior to bottling or pasteurisation.

A double mechanical filter made of stainless steel removes coarse particles from the juice prior to pasteurisation, ensuring a clean, uniform product. Thanks to its parallel design with two filter elements and separate valves, production need not be halted during cleaning or screen replacement — one element continues to operate whilst the other is being serviced. With a capacity of up to 2,000 litres per hour and easy maintenance, this filter is a reliable solution for medium- and large-scale fruit and vegetable juice processing lines.

A beverage filter with a single filter cartridge removes fine particles from juice, cider, wine, sauce, stock, liqueur, beer and other liquid foodstuffs. It is made from electropolished AISI 316L stainless steel, ensuring hygiene and resistance to corrosive and high-temperature environments. The replaceable mesh, available in a wide range of mesh sizes (10–200 µm), allows the filtration level to be precisely tailored to the specific product. A sight glass and pressure gauge enable real-time monitoring of the filtration process, whilst easy cleaning reduces maintenance time between cycles.

The stainless steel rotary filter separates the pulp and sediment from the juice using a rotating sieve, ensuring a clear, purified end product. The conical shape of the sieve facilitates the collection and removal of spent pulp, whilst the built-in tank with an automatic pump ensures a continuous supply of filtered juice further down the production line. The mobile, wheeled design and minimal maintenance requirements make this filter easy to integrate into production lines of various capacities. The 0.25 mm sieve ensures effective pre-cleaning of the juice prior to subsequent fine filtration or pasteurisation.

A diatomaceous earth filter with horizontal screens ensures thorough clarification of juice, wine or beer thanks to a bed of diatomaceous earth (kieselguhr), which traps the finest suspended particles and microorganisms. The horizontal arrangement of the screens simplifies maintenance and regeneration of the filter bed between operating cycles. This type of filtration is traditionally used at the final stage of beverage clarification prior to bottling, when maximum clarity and product stability are required. The recommended solution for production facilities where high-quality final clarification of juice or wine is critical.

The ProFruit juice homogeniser ensures a perfectly uniform product consistency without separation or sedimentation of solid particles — which is crucial for high-quality juice and purées with a long shelf life. With a capacity of 1,000–3,000 litres per hour (depending on operating pressure), the equipment is suitable for medium and large-scale production facilities. Hydropneumatic pressure control ensures process stability, whilst a digital pressure sensor with a ceramic diaphragm and a flow alarm guarantee safe and precise operation. The homogeniser is installed prior to pasteurisation and significantly improves the organoleptic properties and marketable appearance of the finished juice or purée.
