16.04.2024 Ι The global supply chains for diatomaceous earth remain strained. In this challenging environment, Eaton’s Filtration Division offers reliability in the sourcing of filter aids. The comprehensive portfolio of readily available diatomaceous earth types from the Becogur range caters to all applications in beverage production – from the rapid build-up of base pre-coat to ensuring a firmly adhering filter cake and achieving clear filtration of beer, fruit juices and wine.

Pre-coat filtration with Becogur filter aids is an established method for ensuring the highest product quality in the brewing process as well as in other applications in beverage production. Becogur filter aids are available in five clarification levels with different permeability grades. The classification into various levels of fineness with respective specification parameters enables high clarification performance even for beverages with a high turbidity content. Becogur filter aids therefore allow filtration to be specifically and flexibly adapted to the requirements of the beverages to be filtered.

Broad portfolio for many applications

“Diatomaceous earth filtration with Becogur and Beco Endura support sheets in the Beco Compact Plate A600™ multi-sheet filter systems is a core component of our solution portfolio for beverage production,” explains Sven Hagemann, Beverage Treatment Product Manager at Eaton’s Filtration Division. “In addition to the option of combining different clarification levels, we also offer Becolite and Becogel as additional filter aids for other application-specific requirements. This makes it possible to optimize the entire diatomaceous earth filtration process to accommodate individual operational conditions effectively.”

The high purity of all filter aids meets the demands of consumers as well as the strict regulations for beverage production.

Reliable availability of filter aids

From clarification to pre-coat filtration, trap and fine filtration through to final sheet or membrane filtration, beverage producers benefit from Eaton’s comprehensive portfolio and many years of application-specific expertise. With the reliable availability of filter aids, even in challenging supply chains, the filtration specialist ensures that customers can meet consumer expectations at all times and produce beverages of the highest quality.
