Flotation

The accurate definition explains how the floating properties of sludge in a liquid cause it to swim to the surface of the liquid. Whereupon there is a perfect separation of the sludge from the clear liquid.

The clarification procedure is based on inserting minute gas bubbles into the liquid. These attach themselves to the sludge particles in the fruit-wine and drive them up to the surface of the liquid. The sludge particles remain there and form themselves into a solid sludge cake. This sludgy cake mass can be continually skimmed off from the surface or you can drain off the clear liquid out through the residue drain at the bottom of the container.

Flotation clarification has for a long time been a customary process in sewage treatment. In recent years it has been increasingly applied in the clarification of fruit-wine. Today it is a well-proven method to enhance the quality of wine.

Kiesel Floatclear Gr. 2

Must clarification with flotation means you have:

less investment costs
less or no maintenance costs
a simple mechanism and therefore less susceptibility to failure
rapid fruit-wine processing
a very high degree of clarification
reduction of phenol
clarification of white, red and even heated grape fruit-wine under formation of a solid sludge mass

Variable applications

For small plants we constructed a flotation device with only one pump.

KIESEL Double-gap-tubing-filter

The KIESEL Double-gap-tubing-filter is particularly developed to separate solids from liquid media.

The KIESEL Double-gap-tubing-filter consists of 2 gap-tubing-filter-insets and 4 disk valve which continuous working by the change from the gap-tubing-filter. 2 additional disk valve are attached at the remainder outlet.

A manometer shows the pressure in the used gap-tubing-filter.

The more the pressure increases the more surface of the gap-tubing-filter is humid.

The solids are removed by the rubber lip which is fastened at the gap-tubing-filter-inset by take out from the pipe.

Avantages

simple operation
quickly cleaning
fastest switch between the filters
remainder outlet
in different sizes available
gap-tubing-filter-insets (50 % more filter surface than with perforated plates)
favorable alternative to the more expensive rotating brush filter
with chassis
completly in stainless steal
filter sizes from 20 µm up to 2 mm
