The markets of wine, beer, spirits, juices and soft drinks are constantly evolving, and the technological solutions adopted for the filtration of liquids must keep up with innovation and growth.
VLS Technologies represents worldwide a single reference point for the client for both the aspect of filtration and more complex needs that involve the whole process of liquid treatment: that is made possible by the production plant in San Zenone degli Ezzelini in the Province of Treviso, northeast Italy, as well as by an established worldwide network of agents, authorized reselling and assistance.
In addition to traditional applications, as sheet filters or pressure leaf filters, the focus of VLS Technologies is the development of innovative solutions as cross-flow filtration systems and reverse osmosis.
Innovative technologies guarantee a number of advantages. For example in cross-flow filtration the liquid is pushed by means of pressure through the particular pores of a membrane: thanks to this system the clients are able to improve the obtained quantity of product, decreasing energy consumption and production costs, for example avoiding the usage of clarifiers and adjuvants.
Among technologies based on crossflow filtration, the most valued are Unico and Lees-stop.
Unico filter is a solution designed for small/medium manufacturers that need to filter their products (wines and lees) with a single solution, obtaining a filtered product of excellent quality with a turbidity below 1 NTU.
That is why VLS Technologies has created Unico filtration system: thanks to our filter it becomes possibile getting a good filtration of the product and reducing the microbiological flora; all of this by saving all the organoleptic characteristics of the product.
The filtering media can stand repeated regenerations with warm water and detergents: this means a longer lifespan.
Unico has recently won the “Innovation Challenge Lucio Mastroberardino” at SIMEI Drinktec 2017.
Lees-stop, winner of the New Technology Award at SIMEI 2015, is a solution meant for filtering products with high content in solids that replaces the traditional polymeric membranes of the cross flow filters with sinterized stainless steel membranes.
Thanks to several tests, we have verified that this kind of material perfectly fits the cross flow filtration of “difficult” products with about 70% of content in solids.
VLS Technologies, thanks to its 35- year experience in the market, can guarantee a dynamic and flexible approach, realizing long-term partnerships with both medium and small production companies as well as with major brands worldwide.
