Description
Food Grade ZX Series Candle Filter for Beverage & Brewing Clarification
The ZX Series self-cleaning candle filter is a high-efficiency, food-grade enclosed clarification system designed for beer brewing, wine production, and juice processing. Utilizing diatomaceous earth (DE) pre-coating technology combined with multi-layer candle elements, it delivers brilliant clarity through fully enclosed oxygen-free operation, preserving flavor, aroma, and product integrity without dissolved oxygen pickup.
Key Features
  • Oxygen-Free Enclosed Operation: Fully sealed filtration prevents dissolved oxygen pickup (typically < 10 ppb DO increase), protecting beer and wine from oxidation-related flavor degradation and extending finished product shelf life.
  • DE Pre-Coating Capability: Compound filter candles provide an ideal substrate for diatomaceous earth, perlite, or cellulose pre-coat layers. PLC-controlled pre-coating cycle ensures uniform cake deposition for consistent sub-micron clarity throughout the batch.
  • Maximum Flavor Preservation: One-pass complete filtration eliminates recirculation, minimizing shear stress and preserving delicate hop aromatics, ester profiles, and varietal wine characteristics.
  • Spent Cake Product Recovery: Integrated cake washing recovers entrained beverage product from the DE cake before discharge, reducing product loss to 0.3-0.8% of batch volume versus 2-3% with conventional plate-and-frame filters.
  • CO2/Nitrogen Backflush Discharge: Inert gas backflush removes spent DE cake cleanly and rapidly without manual scraping, reducing labor and vessel downtime between filtration cycles.
  • Fully Automated Cycles: PLC-controlled pre-coating, filtration, cake washing, and discharge sequences ensure consistent batch-to-batch quality regardless of operator experience, with recipe storage for different products.
Applications in Beverage Industry
  • Beer polishing filtration after fermentation and cold maturation
  • Wine clarification and final polishing before bottling line
  • Fruit juice (apple, orange, grape, berry) clarification
  • Cider and mead finishing filtration
  • Vinegar and fermented beverage processing

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Does the ZX Series affect beer flavor or hop aroma during filtration?
No. The fully enclosed, oxygen-free design eliminates dissolved oxygen pickup (typically < 10 ppb DO increase), preserving beer flavor stability. All product-contact materials are inert food-grade stainless steel. The DE pre-coat layer adsorbs haze-forming proteins and polyphenols without stripping desirable hop aromatic compounds or ester profiles.
Q2: What clarity level can be achieved for craft beer and lager brewing?
The ZX Series with DE pre-coating typically achieves turbidity below 0.5 EBC (brilliant clarity). For ultra-polished lagers requiring < 0.3 EBC, a downstream sheet or membrane polish filter can be added. The system handles both traditional lager brewing and modern craft NEIPA/hazy styles by adjusting DE grade and pre-coat thickness.
Q3: How does the automatic DE pre-coating and oxygen-free operation work?
The PLC-controlled pre-coating cycle mixes DE powder with deaerated water or filtered product in a dosing tank, then circulates the slurry through the candle elements. Once the uniform DE cake is established (10-15 minutes), the system switches to filtration mode with CO2 or N2 blanketing maintaining oxygen-free conditions throughout the entire cycle.
Q4: What is the typical product loss during filtration compared to other methods?
With integrated cake washing, product loss is typically 0.3-0.8% of total batch volume, significantly lower than plate-and-frame filters (2-3%) or crossflow membrane systems (1-2% with retentate). The spent DE cake is discharged as a semi-dry solid for straightforward disposal.
