Beverage filtration to meet the highest quality and safety requirements

Beverage manufacturers must abide by strict water quality standards designed to guarantee consumer safety. However, contamination of beverages can also be caused by airborne pollutants. Regardless of whether it’s drinking water, juices or alcohol, any contamination of beverages carries a significant health risk and could result in harmful reputational damage as well as considerable financial implications. Therefore, the beverage industry places high importance on effective air and water filtration systems in their production processes.

An overview of just some of the areas of application for our filtration solutions:

• Water treatment: Most soft drinks, beers, bottled water and other common beverages consist of more than 90% water. MANN+HUMMEL's TurboClean technology can deliver high quality purified water using our chlorine tolerant CA, RO, UF or MF chemicals in an energy saving, easy-to-clean design.
• Juice treatment: Membranes play a crucial role in juice processing, providing vital functions such as apple juice clarification, raw juice purification, and water clarification. A key feature of fruit juice filtration with MANN+HUMMEL is that our membranes can purify juice components without the need for excessive heat or chemicals, thereby preserving the original flavors, color, and nutritional values.
