Crossflow Microfiltration for Wineries >

Jerry ForestOwner Buckingham Valley Vineyards Pennsylvania, USA The convenience factor ofhaving a one-step, automated process is priceless. The KMS system is almost bullet proof and there is virtually no way it can go wrong. >

The flavor and color you expect Advanced KMSWINEFILTER cartridges only remove undesirablesuspended solids. Even hard to filter red wines have clarity, color, and taste that is equal to or better than that produced with conventional filtration. > Less down time Streamlined processes result insignificantly improved efficiency with higher throughput,shorter periods of down time, and fewer filtration steps. > Less system complexity With the simplicity that isdesigned into KMS crossflow microfiltration systems thefiltration process is faster and easier, freeing up valuabletime to focus on the...

Generate higher gross profits With every pass throughconventional filtration more of your valuable wine isabsorbed, and in many cases, discarded with the spent filtermedia. Significantly less wine is lost when KMS WINEFILTERcrossflow microfiltration cartridges are used, leaving more wine to bottle, and at minimal incremental cost. > Elimination of hazardous materials and waste Airbornedust from diatomaceous earth (DE) poses a health risk, causing workers to don cumbersome respirators.Additionally, environmental regulations make it costly todispose of spent filter media which may be...

Can impact flavor, aroma, color, and claritySuperior filtrate clarity - flavor and color are maintained or improved Multiple steps required Fewer steps, less handling Significant wine loss Wine loss can be reduced up to 70% Labor-intensive, difficult to automate Capable of unattended operation Frequent DE, pad, and cartridge replacement Membranes can last for years under normal conditions Cost of disposal for used DE, pads, and cartridges No DE, pad, or cartridge disposal costs DE health hazard for winery workersNo DE health hazard > Increase your yield Modern winemakers using KMSWINEFILTER...

KMS systems are flexible,efficient,andgentle onwine due to minimal oxygen pickup and heating.They are available in various levels ofautomation,from manual machines to fully automated systems requiring little or no operator attention.Sizes range from compact,low cost systems in the 5 to 10 gpm (10 to 20hl/hr) filtrate flow range to larger systems capable offlows exceeding 100 gpm (230 hl/hr). One system can be used for all styles ofwine,keeping overall capital investment low.Lower energyrequirements for these systems allow smaller pumps and piping,and help reduce operating...

For unattended,one-step crossflow microfiltration,24 hours per day,the framemounted automatic and semi-automatic PLC-controlled KMS WINEFILTER systems are preferred.These systems operate at low pressure causing virtually no increase in wine temperature,and will shut down automatically.When necessary,reverse flow can be used to optimize filtrate flow. > CASE STUDY: 150,000 TON/YEAR(1,360,000HL/YEAR) WINERY ŕProgrammable Logic Controller (PLC)Integral safeties for pressure,temperature,and flowՕReverse flowVFDs on all pumpsՕHMI with touchscreen California, USA > CHALLENGE Woodbridges young red...
