VA Filtration is excited to announce the roll-out of our new crossflow membrane technology - Silicon Carbide (Liqui-SilcTM)! Unlike other materials that are currently used in crossflow machines, the benefit of using Silicon Carbide is incredible! It's everything a winemaker is looking for when searching for a crossflow system. The benefits of the membrane technology are simply amazing:
- Extreme chemical resistance - Can tolerate pH conditions from 0-14.
- Completely inert material - no polymer or aluminum present in the structure.
- Long membrane life - we estimate 15 years.
- Fast cleaning cycles
- Minimal water hold-up during start-up - no dilution
- Thermal shock resistant - no cracking of breaking of material when exposed to 150F differential temperature.
- High porosity - reduced pressure drop through the membrane wall.
- Flow channels available in 2mm and 3mm sizes.
- Low water use for cleaning due to fast rinse times.
- Low fouling rates
VA Filtration USA offers a range of Liqui-Silc systems depending on your budget, All systems are fully automated but vary depending on required features from simplified automated systems to advanced systems for wineries that filter large volumes.
We are currently offering free demo's to all prospective customers. If you are looking for a crossflow unit, this is a technology you do not want to miss!
