Services - Steam

All of the above stages can be steam sterilised in-situ (assuming correct cartridge specification) but the steam used to do this should itself be filtered to prevent it causing premature blockage of, or damage to, the filter medium used. For this application we recommend Amazon SupaMesh stainless steel mesh cartridges (10 micron absolute) housed in Amazon 52 Series or 53 Series housings.

Services - Gases (Compressed air, CO2, N2 and O2)

Gases that come into contact with the wine should be filtered to prevent recontamination. Gas applications include aeration and blanketing gases (N2 or CO2 used to blanket tanks, filter housings or pipework). For these applications we recommend Amazon SupaPleat PP or SupaPore PP cartridges for general control and for prefiltration (if required) or Amazon SupaPore TP for sterile filtration duties and oxygen.

The Amazon 52 Series and 53 Series housings are ideal for these requirements, as are the Amazon 72 Series or 74 Series housings.

For tank venting applications, we recommend Amazon 71 Series housings fitted with either SupaPore PP or SupaPore TP cartridges.

For oxygen filtration (low to medium pressure) we recommend Amazon 53 Series housings fitted with SupaPore TP cartridges. For oxygen installations operating at over 3 bar or elevated temperatures please consult Amazon for further advice.

Services - Water

Water that could come into contact with the wine should be filtered to prevent contamination. Applications include chase liquor (liquor to clean out pipes and push wine to the FV etc), and jetting liquor (liquor for duties such as lubricating and/or cleaning on conveyors).

For these applications we recommend Amazon SupaPore PP or SupaSpun II cartridges for general control and for prefiltration (if required) or Amazon SupaPore VPW for sterile filtration duties.

The Amazon 51 Series and 60 Series housings are ideal for these requirements, as are the Amazon 72 Series or 73 Series housings.
