Description
The MFS-2B4C is an universal mechanic filter with two housings for bag filtration elements and four housings for filtration elements in the candle shape intended for 2-stage up to 6-stage filtration of water, beer, cider, wine, kombucha or other beverages. The filtration very extends lifetime of the beverages. Filtration capacity is up to 1200 liters per hour.
This filter is a full-fledged replacement for diatomaceous earth filtration. If the filter is fitted with micro-filter candle elements, it can also be used for micro-filtration of drinks.
Mechanical filtration consists of two high-capacity filter housings in which are placed bag filtration elements for coarse filtration and four candle filter housings in which are placed special polypropylene filtration elements with permeable surface at the level of microfiltration.
In standard configuration we deliver the filter with two high-capacity filtration bags with porosity of 50μm, two candle filtration elements with porosity of 5.0 μm (to remove rests of the yeast) and two candle filtration elements with porosity of 2.4 μm (to remove the proteins).
The entire mechanical filtration set is mounted on a mobile stainless steel frame made of AISI 304 material.
Delivered with one set of the filtration elements (see bellow)

Frequently asked questions:
How long is lifetime of the filtration material (filtering candles) ?
- If you will use only chemical sanitizing and you will not use hot steam then lifetime of the filtration elements is appoximally 1000 sanitizing cycles.
- Number of the filtration cycles is not limited.
How to do the cleaning, sanitizing and sterilizing of the filtration candles and the filter ?
- You need use a CIP station for the chemical cleaning and sanitizing of the filter. We produce this CIP station that fully suits this purpose :
Description of sanitizing cycle :
- Rinsing of candles with filtered water
- Sanitation in the direction of filtration with alkalic and acidic solution.
- Desinfection with Peristil (remove the filtration elements from the housings and put them to the Peristil solution, let them there up to next use).
Filtration scheme (two options):
- Only with overpressure – without a pump: source tank with higher pressure > filter > target tank with lower pressure (or stainless steel keg)
- No overpressure – using a pump: source tank > pump > filter > target tank (or stainless steel keg)
Does the filter clog during the filtration process and what is the procedure for cleaning the filter?
- The clogging rate of the filtering candles and the length of the filtering cycle depend on the amount of yeast in the beverage.
- If this does not help then the cleaning and sanitation with a CIP station, an alkaline and acidic sanitizing solution, is necessary to do, and sterilize them with Peristil.
What are loses of the beverage product when is filtered ?
- Product losses are almost zero. It depends on the amount of yeast in the tank from which it is filtered.
Is there a problem with the loss of CO2 after the filtration of the beverage, or is it necessary to saturate the beverage?
- Beverage is filtered almost no loss – with overpressure – the pump can also be used.
