Cellu-Flo Fiber Filter Aid
Cellu-Flo Fiber Filter Aids
On pressure leaf filters and candle filters, the basis for all good filter cakes is a sound precoat, and Gusmer has been manufacturing the filter precoat materials that are used in cider filtration for decades. Gusmer’s Cellu-Flo filter aids are widely used throughout the industry as a precoat, because of their ability to form a fibrous matrix on the filter screens that provides a proper site for filter cake formation. This fibrous matrix also serves to protect the filter screens, virtually eliminates bleed-through, adds cake stability and allows for a quick and clean cake release at the end of the filter cycle.
Cellu-Flo filter aids are available in many different fiber length distributions and formulations, including both cotton and wood pulp formulations, uncharged and charge modified formulations and fiber blended products.
