Vino-MAXX E
Pleated Polyethersulfone Membrane Cartridges
The Vino-Maxx E pleated membrane filters are specifically engineered to provide an absolute barrier to wine spoiling micro-organisms. The Vino-Maxx E incorporates a highly asymmetric polyethersulfone membrane within our exclusive pleat support configuration creating one of the industry’s most rugged yeast removal filters. This exceptionally robust filter design means filter performance will remain effective after multiple steam sterilization cycles.
Every Vino-Maxx E filter is integrity tested and flushed with high purity water to assure product performance and purity. Integrity test parameters have been correlated to microbiological retention for both of our 0.45μm and 0.65μm membrane filters (refer to Microbiological Performance chart).
