WHAT WE DO

Winelands Filtration offers mobile cross flow lees filtration services specifically for the processing of wine and fermentation lees, cross flow retentate, centrifuge sludge and other sources of potential wine recovery.

The Flavy Leestar is equipped with stainless steel membranes that can even handle high solids fining agents, including bentonite, and carbon. The filtered wine is brilliant, clear and can be directly added back to the main batch without undergoing any additional treatment.

The Flavy Leestar system offers the winemaker an opportunity to reduce wine loss without the use of a rotary drum vacuum filter.
