The Mastermind® Filtration Hybrid system was designed with the aim of optimising the stages preceding the microbiological stabilisation of wines, while fully respecting the integrity.

This new filtration technology represents an evolution of cross-flow and orthogonal filtration, utilising the best features of both solutions, hence the name Hybrid. From cross-flow filtration, it retains the great versatility, the possibility of achieving a suitable filterability index in a single pass, and the easy regeneration of the filter modules.

From orthogonal filtration, it preserves the utmost respect for the filtered products, with low pressures and gentle, non-stressful hydraulic processes for the wine. Operation of the system by the cellar staff is easy and intuitive, limited to the connection of external lines for product transfer and the correct positioning of process control valves. The touch-screen display allows easy setting of filtration parameters (flow rate, volumes, pressures), starting and stopping fi ltration and washing. Specially designed software continuously monitors the on-board instrumentation of operations and set parameters.

• Delicate filtration
• Respect for the colloidal and aromatic qualities
• Quick ‘smart’ washing using minimum volumes of water
