Product Overview

The Vino-MAXX E incorporates a highly asymmetric polyethersulfone membrane within our exclusive pleat support configuration creating one of the industry's most rugged yeast removal filters. This exceptionally robust filter design means filter performance will remain effective after multiple steam sterilization cycles.

Every Vino-MAXX E filter is integrity tested and flushed with high purity water to assure product performance and purity. Integrity test parameters have been correlated to microbiological retention for both of our 0.45µm and 0.65µm membrane filters (refer to microbiological performance chart).

Features & Benefits

Absolute-rated and integrity tested membrane provides reliable, consistent and repeatable filtrate to ensure microbiological stability

Low pressure drops yield higher flow rates and reduced processing time

Non-fiber shedding polypropylene support materials eliminate fiber migration

Maximum pleat design for greater surface area, ensuring longer service life, fewer change outs and reduced operating costs

100% thermally bonded construction

High strength design allowing for extended use and multi autoclave and hot water sanitization cycles

316 stainless steel insert standard

All materials are listed in Title 21 of the US Code of Federal Regulations 177-182
