Our filtration systems provide maximum safety and microbiological retention for demanding liquids in beverage, food, biotech, and pharmaceutical production. From sterile filtration to coarse clarification stages, we supply the right filter cartridges and filter sheets for your system.
OptiClear
Depth Filter Sheets
OptiClear® depth filter sheets are three-dimensional depth filters for the filtration of wine, fruit juice, and beverages. They consist of a cellulose fiber matrix enriched with high-quality diatomaceous earth and perlite, enabling reliable separation of haze-forming substances, colloids, yeasts, and microorganisms with long service life.
Key Technical Features
- Coarse upstream side / fine filtrate side (clearly defined)
- Long service life thanks to high internal surface area
- Uniform filtration through depth effect
- Suitable for plate and sheet filters
- Standard formats: 400×400 mm, 600×614 mm
Key Benefits of OptiClear®
- Clear classification by filtration stage
- Very broad retention range (0.2–8 µm)
- Protection of downstream membrane systems
- Reproducible filtration results
- Proven in wine and fruit juice filtration
