The J-Series family of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) microfiltration membrane elements are designed for clarification of process streams and feature a nominal pore size of 0.3 micron.
The Vinoclear Elements are used for removal of suspended solids and intended to replace Diatomaceous Earth filtration. The main applications for these elements are wine and vinegar clarification.
The Vinoclear Elements feature a Durasan* Cage patented outerwrap, wide process feed spacers, and polysulfone parts.
