From grain to glass, clean.
Every air contact on a brewery line — from fermenter headspace to filling head — is a contamination event waiting to happen. We supply the filters that close every one of those gaps.
Off-flavour · spoiled tank · recalled batch · a reputation that took decades to build.
Brewing is a sequence of gas-contact events from the moment the fermenter is pitched to the instant the keg, bottle or can is sealed. Fermentation air carries sterility. Recovered CO₂ carries particulate. Every tank-vent breathing cycle is a route for wild yeast and mould. The filling head is the last unprotected point before the consumer.
Ultrafilter supplies the brewery filtration line, from water to bottling: P-SRF borosilicate depth for yeast propagation sterile air, wort aeration and CO₂ carbonation gas; P-BE depth elements and PF-PT PTFE membrane elements for tank venting; PF-BEV PES double-layer 0.2 µm as the cold sterile final filter before the filler, with an optional second PF-BEV as the police filter safety net; and P-GS VE sintered stainless for culinary steam and SIP. Food-contact materials to EC 1935/2004 and FDA 21 CFR per product DoC. Every element ships with its datasheet and food-contact Declaration of Conformity; sterile elements also with integrity-test record and validation guide. Typically ships within 7 days from Hilden.
Every filtration duty in your plant is covered by one of these product families. Each ships with its datasheet and food-contact Declaration of Conformity; sterile elements also with a validation guide.
In-line sterile air and CO₂ for fermenters, bright-beer tanks and filling heads. 0.2 µm absolute, min. 100 sterilisation cycles.
Double-layer PES beverage membrane as the final membrane for beer; LRV ≥ 7 (ASTM F838). Double-layer grades 0.2+0.1 µm and coarser.
Sterile vent for fermenters, CO₂ recovery breathers, bright-beer and storage tanks — 99.99998 % related to 0.2 µm, min. 100 sterilisation cycles.
Hydrophobic PTFE membrane breather, 0.2 µm, for wet off-gas on fermenter and tank vents. Up to 100 forward steam cycles of 30 min at 135 °C.
Sintered stainless for culinary steam and SIP. Welded end caps, to 210 °C.
Every element carries the paperwork your QA and production teams need before it ever contacts your process gas or product stream.
Send us a P&ID, a flow rate, or just the duty — fermentation air, CO₂ vent, tank breathers or fill-head sterile air. We size the train, specify the elements and supply the documentation.
