Designation
USF filtration
systems (Silver filtration systems) are used in the distillery
industry and are intended for processing water-alcohol mixtures and
vodkas.
Description and make-up of USF systems
The principle of
operation of USF systems involves processing water-alcohol mixtures by
passing them through prefiltration and carbon filtration stages, which
ensures the required quality of the product. The ystem has a pump
producing the required pressure and ensuring complete exhaustion of
service capacity of filter elements. The system has shut-off valves for
air discharge as well as valves for water drain and regulating valves.
The outlet of the system is provided with a rotameter to measure the
filtration rate. Inspection windows on the hoods are intended for
visual monitoring of the filling level of the holders. Pressure gauges
are used to measure differential pressures in two stages of the system.
The system is supplied complete with a control panel having an
automatic cutoff switch and a frequency converter which ensures smooth
adjustment of filtration rate and energy-efficient operation of the
system and rules out heating-up of the water-alcohol mixture being
filtered. Silver Filtration System For Vodka
| Specification | Advantages | | - High organoleptic value
- Batch operation is possible without accumulation of aldehydes
- No irreparable waste
| - Compact size (compared to carbon columns)
| - More available production areas – no multi-storey structures, no additional containers, no sand filters, etc.
| - Flexibility of the process
| - High rates of processing water-alcohol mixtures and vodkas
- Required amount of the blend can be produced during one shift
- More time for assimilation and recovery of the blend
| - Promptness and convenience of maintenance
| - Quick and easy replacement of filter elements
- No time can be spent on clean-up operations
| - Large throughput of EPSF.UAg0.4 filter elements (minicolumns) at the lowest cost
| - Average throughput of the filter elements: up to 500000 liters
- Minimization of expenses on test filtration as a result of high hardness and low attrition of cocoa nutshell carbon
