Ensuring food and beverage safety is no longer just about meeting regulatory standards; it’s about delivering the highest quality products while maintaining consumer trust. Filtration plays a critical role in this process, protecting products from contaminants and enhancing their quality and consistency. At the heart of this industry, Gessner brings advanced and comprehensive filtration solutions designed to elevate safety, purity, and performance.
Understanding the Needs of the Food & Beverage Filtration Industry
Food and beverage filtration requires precision and dependability. Key objectives include removing harmful elements, improving taste quality, enhancing product clarity, and increasing shelf life, all while managing processing costs and environmental impact. Filtration systems must balance efficiency with compliance. Businesses in this space need reliable materials that can handle diverse applications, from filtering juices, beers, wines, sodas, and spirits to purifying water.
Material Solutions for High-Efficiency Food & Beverage Filtration
Gessner offers a suite of specialized materials engineered for the unique demands of the food and beverage sector:
- Delpore™ Meltblown Nonwoven Filter Media – Our Delpore™ meltblown nonwoven filter media ensures superior contaminant removal by trapping particles from micron to sub-micron sizes. Designed to retain essential flavors, it helps reduce oxidation, and is suitable for fluids like juices, beers, wines, sodas, spirits, and water.
Our Delpore™ products are FDA-certified, meeting stringent safety and quality standards. Key benefits include excellent recovery after backwashing, high dirt-holding capacity, a range of micron ratings (1μm to 25μm), and high-temperature options (PA, PBT). - Naltex™ & Conwed™ Pleat Supports – Gessner's Naltex™ & Conwed™ pleat supports are crucial for maintaining the filter's structural integrity and extending its lifespan. Made from durable polymers, they ensure a uniform seal to prevent contaminant bypass and offer enhanced shape retention to withstand operational stress. Naltex™ also provides high-temperature options (PA, PBT) for demanding applications.
- Specialized Structural Components – Beyond media and primary supports, Gessner provides:
- Conwed™ Rigid Tubes: They serve as durable cores, sleeves, and cages within filter elements, providing essential structural reinforcement.
- Delnet™ Apertured Films: These films function as effective pleat separators, ensuring optimal flow and media utilization. For challenging environments, Delnet™ is available in high-temperature HALAR (ECTFE) options. Both Naltex™ and Delnet™ can be used in copleating processes, with options starting at 4 mils thickness.
Advanced Material Technologies & Sustainability
Gessner offers Delstar™ composites, which feature innovative density gradient structures. These are created by combining materials to enhance dirt-holding capacity and optimize particle capture across a wide range of sizes.
Incinerable Materials support environmental responsibility, all our filtration materials are incinerable, offering a preferable waste management solution.
