Beverage Filterability Testing: Striking the Right Balance

Authors: SelectScience Editorial Article | Last updated: February 2022

Overview

Beverage filtration is an essential component of production workflows, particularly for wine and beer, but also for wide-ranging liquid products such as vinegar and mineral waters. The final stages of production immediately prior to bottling are especially critical since they may involve sterile filtration with membranes which are prone to clogging if the beverage product has too high a particulate loading.

This is where filterability testing is of value. In this article, we will explore how Sartorius aims to automate beverage testing processes by combining filtration equipment with cutting-edge laboratory balances to help customers optimize production, reduce filtration costs, and decrease environmental impact.

Discover how the latest balance technology from Sartorius can be used for quality assurance in the food and beverage industry.
