The Filtration Division of power management company, Eaton, will present their wide variety of filtration solutions designed for beverage applications at this year’s Brau trade show.

Among the highlights will be Eaton’s new BECO Helix depth filter cartridges, a revolutionary solution for liquid filtration. This innovative filter cartridge technology delivers twice the depth filter effect, significantly higher particle-holding capacity, and more than 40% longer service-life compared to standard pleated depth filter cartridges. These performance advantages are made possible by the unique helix wrapping of the pleated, particularly thin and graded polypropylene fleece layers. The innovative structure maximizes the effective filter surface area and enables optimal flow with low pressure differentials. The funnel effect and high mechanical stability make BECO Helix depth filter cartridges highly suitable for backwashing. The fine fleece layers provide reliable separation in particle, clarifying and fine filtration, while also protecting downstream membrane filter cartridges.

Another central element for efficient filtration of clear, stable and tasty beverages will be Eaton’s optimized and expanded range of activated carbon filter media. The upgraded BECO CARBON depth filter sheet is available as a flat sheet and BECODISC BC stacked disc cartridge. It offers notably high absorptive properties that meet the demanding requirements of beverage filtration. With its strong decolorization abilities and adsorptive removal of undesired by-products, along with taste, odor and color correction, it is ideally suited for use in hard seltzer production.
