20 years of BMF TECHNOLOGY EXPERTISE

Key benefits of Pentair X-Flow Beer Hollow Fiber Membrane Technology include:

  • Optimized pore size distribution for a reliable blocking of yeast and strong reduction of beer spoiling bacteria
  • Ideal polymer for food contact, cleaning chemicals and high temperatures
  • Iron pick-up free so a clearly better taste stability

SUSTAINABLE QUALITY

Iron pickup is prevented when use of diatomaceous earth filter-aid is avoided, reducing the aging process and thereby improving the taste stability of beer. 

SUSTAINABLE OPERATION

The use of membranes brings with them a more sustainable way of working.

Unlike kieselguhr which is single-use, membranes are resuable and last several years, this results in a lower CO2 footprint.

The harmful disposal of filter media waste is also no longer needed.
