Their smaller sized sys- tems—comprising the FX 2 to FX 10 models–have from two to 10 filter modules that provide a filtrate flux of up to 10 hL per hour per module. The next range of systems includes the FX 100 to FX 300. These systems take the FX 10 system and package them into multiple modules connected to one control system, providing systems up to 100 m 2 of membrane area. The same production should be expected from each module as on the smaller system. For complex operations, one might want to consider the Flavy FX Tandem. In this system the winery can have multiple modules config- ured for different wine types or conditions. For example, a wine with heavier solid content can be processed on one module with a rela- tively high flow rate until the retentate portion is concentrated to low solids level. At that point the wine can be transferred to a high solids module, and the low solids module can move to the next wine, all controlled by one central process system. In this type of system, each wine can be managed as a whole, recovering the maximum volume of wine to be combined into one lot. Bucher Vaslin offers a unique design that combines the FX series crossflow filter with its rotary drum juice lees filter. This arrangement allows a winery to recover more clarified juice to add to a primary fermentation, all without needing to use diatomaceous earth for clari- fication. These systems have juice throughput from 80 hL to 400 hL of juice in a 20-hour day. For larger size wineries that generate a large amount of valuable tank bottoms, there is the Flavy Lees Star system. These large-bore crossflow filters have two size ranges. The lower concentration to 15% solids can produce 400-1,600 liters per hour in four different sized models. If you need higher a concentration factor, the next model will concentrate to 45% solids. These four models can produce 160-1,000 liters per hour. Bucher Vaslin also produces two reverse osmosis (RO) systems spe- cifically designed for juice concentration. Their units will remove 200-1,200 liters per hour of water from juices with 10% to 11% po- tential alcohol in a system running at about 70 bar. The second sys- tem is specifically designed to remove volatile phenolic compounds. Their systems have removed up to 69% of volatile compounds from some wines, all below the threshold of organoleptic detection. bvnorthamerica.com DELLA TOFFOLA USA LTD. Della Toffola USA offers micro, ultra and reverse osmosis filtration sys- tems. They are the only U.S. supplier of the unique Ceramic Membrane Crossflow Filtration system. Ceramic membranes come with a 10-year warranty, two or three times longer than organic membranes. They can be cleaned more powerfully and stored dry, eliminating the need for specialty chemicals and storage solutions. This toughness allows the crossflow fil- ters to work effectively on a wider range of turbidity and products. DT crossflows are available with different porosity levels and in capacities from 200 to 7,000 gallons per hour. The new Della Toffola Omnia, the most advanced of their range of crossflow filters, is suitable for filtering both lees and wine (or juice), recovering as much product as possible. DT Sepratech also offers reverse osmosis, ultrafiltration and nano-filters in spiral wound organic membranes for a wide variety of applications. dellatoffola.us The Wines & Vines Product Focus feature is not intended to provide a definitive listing of all available products in a particular segment or provide any comparative analysis, but rather serve as an overview of what's new or available and also of potential interest to readers as determined by the magazine's editorial staff.
