Filtering Wine

BevBright's one micron filters are disposable, multi-zoned, cartridge style filters perfect for filtering wine with any standard 10" filter cartridge housing.  BevBright achieves superior efficiency by being the first to spin different diameters of poly strands on the same filter core to create zones of filtration. The zone closest to the core contains consistent, tight fibers for final filtration while the final outer layer zone is spun with larger fibers for increased sediment holding capacity and increased flow capacity. The best of both worlds. By comparison typical spun poly water filters are spun with only one size of fiber.  Note that these are True 10" Filter Cartridges that rely upon the housing being closed tightly in order to engage the Knife Seals & eliminate bypass. 1 Micron Filters Use a 1 micron filter for brilliant filtration when your wine has already naturally settled out. Too many yeast cells in solution or sedment at the bottom will quickly clog a 1 micron filter. Do you fear you have sediment or is your wine cloudy to the eye? Try a 3 micron or 5 micron filter.  What Retention Efficiency rating should I choose? We suggest you start with the 98% Super High Efficiency rated filters and adjust from there. 90% High Efficiency - Removes 90% of the material 1 micron or larger in a single pass. 98% Super High Efficiency - Removes 98% of the material 1 micron or larger in a single pass. 99.8% Absolute Efficiency - Removes 99.8% of the material 1 micron or larger in a single pass. More Information on Efficiency Ratings The efficiency rating tells you what % of material, at the given micron rating, will be filtered out in a single pass. Cheaper spun poly water filters are never rated for efficiency because they only remove 60-80% of the material at a given micron rating in a single pass. BevBright offer three levels of efficiency to fit any winemaker's budget or need.   The High Efficiency rated filters work better than any 1 micron rated hardware store spun poly filters . The Super High Efficiency filters represent great value. They remove 98% of material in a single pass for just a little bit more money. Absolute rated filters are perfect for the discerning winemaker who wants to absolutely remove material 1 micron or larger.

A .5 micron pad used for final filtration.  When using the Buon Vino Super Jet Filter with sterile pads a homewinemaker will want to "pre-filter" the wine with polish pads (FIL16) otherwise you will certainly have early clogging issues. . The sterile filters clog too fast when there is any sediment present.

20cm x 20cm filter pads made for 20x20 plate filters. Pads rated 0.45 micron remove 99.999% of bacteria. This pad is the right choice when you want to promote sterility in the bottle, although do please note that the pad does not remove 100% of bacteria - only a cartridge filter can do so. The filters can be sterilized by in-line steam, auto-claving, dry heat, hot water or chemical methods. We choose to run Saniclean (CL27) solution through the pads followed by sterile water or a small amount of wine that is then discarded. After the solution is run through the pads, and the pads have softened, the filter will need to be re-tightened. Each pad has an entry side and an exit side, distinguishable by their different textures. The entry side is a billowy type texture, frequently called the "rough" side; and the exit side has a crosshatch pattern and is commonly called the "smooth" side.

For our FIL20 Buon Vino Mini Jet. Requires one 3 pack to run the filter. When using the Buon Vino Mini Jet Filter with sterile pads the home winemaker will want to "pre-filter" the wine with polish pads (FIL16) if the volume is 5 gallons or more, or if the wine is particularly cloudy. The sterile filters clog too fast when there is any sediment present. Sterile filters are approximately .5 micron.

20cm x 20cm filter pads made for 20x20 plate filters. 2-3 micron pads are for general polishing of wines that do not need to be sterile filtered. Please note that all pad filters are rated 'nominal', meaning that about 90-95% of all particulate matter at the micron rating will be filtered out. There will always be a little bit of smaller material that is also filtered out, as well as some larger material that will make it through. The filters can be sterilized by in-line steam, auto-claving, dry heat, hot water or chemical methods.

20cm x 20cm filter pads made for 20x20 plate filters. 5-7 micron pads are considered to be a "rough" filtration and are typically used to prepare the wine to be filtered by finer pads, usually either 2-3 micron or 1.5 micron depending on the winemaker's tastes and objectives. Please note that all pad filters are rated 'nominal', meaning that about 90-95% of all particulate matter at the micron rating will be filtered out.

High quality, absolute rated .45 micron absolute filter with a hard caged body and gasketed ends. Thermally bonded end caps and ultrasonic welded media seams for a one piece construction. Absolute rated at 99.99% efficiency to remove bacteria for sterile filtering. Ideal for filtering white wine that has not completed a full malolactic fermentation. Filters meet FDA Title 21 regulations for beverage contact. Will work with our 10 inch cannister filter. What makes this filter really unique is the PES layer membrane with defined .45 micron hole size. This layer will not allow material to pass that is over .45 in size. This PES layer is also what makes this cartridge considerably more expensive than spun poly filters.  Some cartridage filters are listed as being absolute but unless they have a PES layer they aren't.   Wine to be filtered should already be very clear as this filter will load up quickly with material. It is a common practice to prefilter already settled wine with a 1 micron spun poly filter and then filter with this .45 micron absolute filter.  Please note: these filters are not intended to be reusable.

This is just the 10" Housing found on the 10" Filter Kit. It has 1/2" FPT on both the "in" and "out" of the housing. This can be "ganged" on to the FIL40 with the help of a 1/2" stainless nipple, H610. For Filter Cartridges, see our line of BevBright® Filters. Please Note: This housing is for 10" filter cartridges.  Many cartridge filters are 9.785" long, and will allow some bypass if used with this housing. If you are having trouble removing the lid, try this spanner wrench!

This compact filter is designed for the home wine maker who is filtering 5-10 gallons at a time. Perfect for filtering wine concentrate kits. There is a small built in Flojet pump (self-priming, diaphragm pump) that can be used for racking from container to the next by bypassing the filter pads. You will not want to filter wine which contains solids such as stems or oak chips. This will clog the pump and void the warranty. Takes three pads to load this filter. Does not come with filter pads. The intake and outtake tubes are 3/8" and the drip tray tube is 1/4".

20cm x 20cm filter pads made for 20x20 plate filters. 9-10 micron pads are considered to be a "very rough" filtration and are typically used to prepare the wine to be filtered by finer pads, usually either 5-7 micron; or also to pre-filter white musts prior to fermentation. Please note that all pad filters are rated 'nominal', meaning that about 90-95% of all particulate matter at the micron rating will be filtered out. There will always be a little bit of smaller material that is also filtered out, as well as some larger material that will make it through. The filters can be sterilized by in-line steam, auto-claving, dry heat, hot water or chemical methods. We choose to run Saniclean (CL27) solution through the pads followed by sterile water or a small amount of wine that is then discarded. After the solution is run through the pads, and the pads have softened, the filter will need to be re-tightened. Each pad has an entry side and an exit side, distinguishable by their different textures. The entry side is a billowy type texture, frequently called the "rough" side; and the exit side has a crosshatch pattern and is commonly called the "smooth" side.

For use with our FIL45 series of plate filters. These pads will provide between .3 - .5 Micron filtration. This pad is the right choice when you want to promote sterility in the bottle, although do please note that the pad does not remove 100% of bacteria - only an absolute rated .45 micron or less cartridge filter can do so.  Then why do we sell this pad? Some experienced winemakers who are familiar with their wine and who do not have a cartridge filter use this pad to remove most ml bacteria, making it less likely that an unwanted ML fermentation takes place in the bottle.   Each filter pad set is good for approximately 5 gallons of wine when the wine has already been filtered by the polish pads. These pads are disposable.
