Jumbo Star System for Diatomaceous-Earth-Free Filtration of Wine

Filtration with Kieselguhr filters | diatomaceous earth (DE) is a very common technique in winemaking, especially for the roughing and polishing stages of musts and wines.

However, this practice poses several problems, such as the operator safety, high operating costs, a negative impact on the quality of wine.

The Jumbo Star technology developed by Sartorius overcomes these problems and can meet the filtration requirements of both small and large wineries, by ensuring product quality while maximizing production efficiency.

This study describes the many benefits of the Jumbo Star technology as an alternative to DE filtration.
