Filtering is an important process in winery operations, as it removes unwanted solids, such as grape skins, stems, and yeast, and clarifies the wine. Filtering is usually done through one of several different methods, depending on the type and amount of debris and the desired clarity of the final product.
For large-scale production, the most common type of filter is the press filter, which uses a series of screens to separate the larger particles from the liquid.
For smaller wineries, the cross-flow filter is a more cost-effective option, as it passes the wine through a filter membrane at a specific angle, allowing the larger particles to collect on the membrane for easy removal.
Another type of filter is the diatomaceous earth filter, which uses filter pads, made of diatom shells, to remove particles by trapping them within the fine pores of the material. This method is especially effective at removing particles that are smaller than those that the press and cross-flow filters cannot remove.
Finally, the simplest and least effective type of filter is the simple filtration unit, which uses a combination of sand and gravel to remove larger particles. This method is not as effective as the others and is not recommended for any type of production.
No matter which type of filter is used, all wineries must pay attention to the quality of the filter being used, as poor-quality filters can lead to off-flavors and undesired flavors in the final product.
