Control (polishing) filtration of vodka
The task of improving the quality of vodka, imparting crystal clarity and characteristic glossy shine, allows us to solve the use of microfiltration at the finishing stage of production, just before bottling.
Case filtering equipment for vodka
A wide range of EXPRESS-CRYSTAL filtration units are proposed, designed to work in bottling lines with a capacity from 1.5 to 18 thousand bottles per hour, as well as for soUFenir filling stations.
Filtration units can be of one or two stage execution and are equipped with a pump to provide the necessary pressure and full development of the service life of the filter elements. Pump binding provides a bypass line with the ability to smoothly adjust the performance of the filtration system and pressure drop across the filter elements.
Filtration systems are also available, equipped with an electronic control unit that allows you to automatically monitor the filtration process. The basic version provides for the automatic maintenance of a predetermined pressure at the outlet of the filtration system and the control of the presence of liquid in the supply pipeline (protection against dry operation).
At the request of the Customer, the level of automation can be expanded by controlling the degree of blocking of filter elements at each filtering stage, taking into account the life of the filtering elements, a graphic display of the filtering process, etc.
In addition to industrial filtration plants, small-sized filtration plants are produced for soUFenir filling lines with a capacity of up to 100 dal per hour. The installation can be used as a laboratory for testing blends, as well as for re-filtering « clean » rejects, filtering ingredients, etc.

With an extensive range of manufactured Obninsk Folters filtering materials for filtering vodkas are recommended; filter elements of the following brands are given (in order of increasing filtration quality and durability in a water-alcohol mixture):
|
Filter Element Brand |
Quick Reference |
Assignment |
|---|---|---|
|
ECOPLEN-PP brand EFP-403 |
Pleated based on thermally bonded polypropylene. |
Preliminary filtration stages with high mud load |
|
ECOSTEK brand EFP-404 |
Pleated, disposable, have a high service life. |
Preliminary Filtration Stages |
|
ECOPLAST-PE brand EFP-101 |
Depth wells, most well regenerated, have a rigid multi-layer porous structure (i.e., conditionally in a single filter, a pre-filter and a filter). Lint removal is excluded. Possible flushing "reverse current". |
Preliminary and control (la polishing ra) filtration stage |
|
ECOPLENE-PE brand EFP-401 |
Pleated on the basis of a film from polyethylene. Water separation excluded. Have a high resource. |
Preliminary and control (polishing) filtration stages |
|
ECOPLAST-F EFP-100 brands |
Deep, regenerable, have a rigid multi-layer porous structure (i.e., of course, in one filter the prefilter and filter). Lint removal is excluded. Almost absolute chemical resistance. |
Control (“polishing”) filtration stage |
|
ECOPLENE-F brand EFP-400 |
Pleated on the basis of a film of fluoroplastic — 4. Lint removal is excluded. Almost absolute chemical resistance. The large area of the filtering surface provides a high service life with a great standard brilliance of vodka. |
Control (“polishing”) filtration stage |
Filter elements for vodka can be installed in the filter housings from other manufacturers. For the final stage of filtration, it is proposed to use filter elements made of fluoroplast-4 (trademark ECOPLAST-F or ECOPLEN-F) with a retention threshold of 1 micron.
As a pre-filter, filter elements with a particle retention threshold of 5–10 µm are recommended.
All filter elements are inert with respect to water-alcohol emissions, do not emit any impurities in the filtrate, can be partially regenerated and reused (up to 10 - 15 times).
Additionally Obninsk Filters in the alcoholic beverage industry solves the following tasks:
- Filtration of alcohol during acceptance from transport tanks or alcohol storage
- Filtering sorting in order to remove particles of activated carbon that have migrated from coal columns (barrier filter);
- Filtration of the ingredients before serving in the finishing tanks in the production of vodka;
- Filtration of water or water-alcohol mixture when rinsing bottles before bottling or before injection into bottle washing machines;
- Filter pure marriage;
- Filtration of steam for the regeneration of activated carbon and other technological purposes.
Hygienic certificates for use in the food industry have been obtained for all products.
All specifications for filtration equipment are coordinated with the VNIIPBT head institute of the alcoholic beverage industry. Products are recommended for use in the food industry.
