Vertical Diatomite Filter

Features and Structure of the Vertical Filter

This unit comprises housing, central shaft, filter plates, filter mesh, guide rods, air valves and glass sight glasses. All wetted parts are constructed from stainless steel and ABS. The housing is two‑sectioned for easy disassembly and cleaning.

Vertical diatomite filters deliver remarkable advantages compared with conventional drum‑cake filters and horizontal filters:
① 92% energy saving and 90% lower alcohol loss
② 2/3 reduction in equipment cost and 3/4 less labor requirement
③ Minimum diatomite shedding and superior filtration performance

Wine and beverages filtered by the vertical diatomite filter retain their original flavor. The filtrate is non‑toxic, free of suspended solids and sediment, clear and bright. The machine features a small footprint and easy mobility.

Product Advantages

1. Diatomaceous earth is a biochemical sedimentary rock composed of the cell walls of aquatic plants, specifically diatoms, which lived millions of years ago. It has countless tiny pores and a very fine particle size—about 100 microns, with approximately 90% of it being permeable voids. The main component is SiO₂, which gives it excellent chemical stability, high temperature resistance, and insolubility in water. It is non-toxic. This porous micro-particle structure provides exceptional filtration capability, capable of removing impurities ranging from 1 to 0.1 microns.
2. The filtration aid characteristics can be summarized as: It is highly stable and adaptable. Diatomaceous earth, primarily made of silicon dioxide (SiO₂), maintains excellent chemical stability. Its properties remain unchanged in both hot and cold conditions, as well as in acidic solutions of varying concentrations, ensuring the original liquid's core characteristics are not altered.
3. Diatomaceous earth provides high filtration speeds and superior clarity. The irregular particle sizes, combined with its rigid skeletal structure and a mix of single- and multi-pore shapes, prevent the filter layer from compacting too tightly. This increases the surface area and porosity and leads to faster filtration and optimal clarity.
4. Our company offers diatomaceous earth from the Changbai Mountain area in Jilin, available in both coarse and fine grades.
