Polypropylene vs. Stainless Filter Cartridges
PP Cartridges:
-
Single-use or limited reuse: Ideal for small batches or when very fine filtration (under 1 micron) is required.
-
More affordable upfront: But cost can accumulate with replacements.
-
Commonly used for wine: Especially for final filtration before bottling.
SS Cartridges:
-
Reusable and long-lasting: More sustainable and cost-effective in the long run.
-
Easy to sanitize: Can be boiled or cleaned with various solutions.
-
Preferred by most users: Especially distilleries.
-
Cannot achieve very fine filtration: Not suitable for all winemaking needs.
In short, PP cartridges are best for small-batch winemakers needing ultra-fine filtration below 1 micron. However, SS cartridges offer a more sustainable and economical solution for most other filtering needs due to their reusability and longevity. Ultimately, the best choice depends on your specific requirements, including the type and volume of liquid being filtered, desired filtration level, and budget.
