Beer Production Process Steps - Why use our filtration consumables?
From large scale to micro breweries, the aim is the same: a pure beverage that retains its distinctive characteristics of taste. Our product range impacts on the brewing process at several key stages:
Applications
Brewhouse
- Filtration of water: Good beer needs lots of pure water. Our Sartopure® filters improve clarification and deliver precise particle retention.
Cellar technology in the cold block
- Wort cooling. Gas filtration using Sartofluor® GA filters eliminates the risk of contamination.
- Second fermentation: Gas filtration using Sartopure® filters further enhances clarification.
- Have finer, less bonded fibres and provide higher porosity
- Have unequalled filtration capacity
- Reduce particles that clog water
- Improve clarification
- Deliver more precise particle retention
- Protect the membrane cartridges and ensure the longer life of the final filters
Sartopure® PP Particle Reduction Filter Elements for F&B Applications
Sartopure® PP3 pre-filters are the ideal choice for particle retention, clarification and protection of final membrane in all applications. They provide highest robustness in pre-filtration applications based on the unique retention performance of the fleece materials. They provide low adsorption assuring the high respect of your beer aroma and taste.

Whether using fine or trap filters we recommend Sartopure® filters at this stage. A further round of filtration uses a mix of Aquasart®, Sartopure® and Sartocool® filters. The latter hugely increases productivity and reduces costs. Our Aquasart filters are highly asymmetrical which ensure best flow rates and retention capacity, meet GMP and pharmacopeia standards, are controllable with integrity tests.
