Beverage Production

We provide a range of filtration systems to remove particulates that can impart an unwanted aesthetic, as well as microorganisms that are used in the beverage process. For example, yeast, bacteria, and moulds. Here are some ways our beverage filtration solutions help in beverage production:

  • Carbon filtration removes chloramine, chlorine, and other chemicals that can cause unwanted tastes and odours.
  • Reverse osmosis can remove almost all dissolved contaminants to produce a ‘pure’ base product. This base can then be mixed with the desired ingredients to produce the final drink.

At Fileder, our systems can remove a variety of particles and organisms to ensure your drinks are fit for consumption. For example, they can remove:

  • Chloramine and chlorine for taste and odour.
  • Bacteria from bottled water and soft drinks.
  • Bioburden, yeast, and spoilage organisms from beer and cider.
  • Char and fatty esters from whisky.
  • Botanicals from gin and other distilled spirits.
  • Microorganisms from wine

Water’s Role in the Beverage Industry

Water plays a huge role in the drinks industry. It is the essential base ingredient for almost all beverages, including soft drinks, spirits, beer, and juice. The quality of the water used is therefore incredibly important as it shapes the flavour, stability, and safety of the product. Without proper filtration, water can create flavours and odours that are ‘off’, and may contain contaminants that should have been removed.

Advantages of Beverage Filtration Systems

By investing in the right water filtration solutions, beverage producers can achieve great advantages across both product quality and business operations.

Consistent Taste

Beverage water treatments remove contaminants such as chlorine, chloramine, organics, and other unwanted minerals that can affect the flavour. It ensures every batch consistently tastes exactly as intended.

Improved Clarity

Water filters for the beverage industry remove particulates, sediment, and other compounds that can cause drinks to become cloudy. This enhances the visual appeal of the product.

Increased Shelf Life

Our sterile-grade filters protect your beverage products against bacteria, yeast, and other organisms that increase the risk of spoilage. Filters, therefore, extend shelf stability, which reduces returns and waste.
