  • Chemical and pharmaceutical industry

Application Areas for Cellulose Filter aids

No Restrictions

JRS organic filter aids can be used in all conventional precoat filter systems without a problem. The variety of JRS products especially developed for this application area guarantees an effective and economical solution for practically every filtration job.

High cost Effectiveness

In general, organic filter aids are especially suitable as efficient, economical and environmentally-friendly alternatives to diatomaceous earth and perlite.

All Purpose

JRS products can be used up to a 100% as basic precoating and/or long-term dosing-completely analogue to diatomaceous earth or perlite.

Unbeatable even in Mixes

In certain cases, mixtures of organic and mineral components are advantageous and advisable.

Safe and Reliable

Organic filter aids form highly porous filter cakes with numerous voids and very fine canals. They securely hold fibrils and particles back and guarantee the user high throughput rates combined with long filter lifetimes.

Especially under Pressure

Due to their flexible, pressure-elastic and structure-lending properties, organic filter aids are also preferred for use as compressing and dewatering aids. The highly effective drainage action of organic fibers lead to measurably higher throughputs and product yields (filtrate), shorter pressing cycles and higher dry substance contents in cakes. At the same time, the fibers reliably prevent the smearing of the cloth and, as a result, make subsequent cleaning of the filter element much easier.

Best Oak Instant

This is a comparision of Best Oak Instant to oak dust. It shows how Best Oak Instant with 90% less dust goes into the wine rather than being blown back into the vineyard or operator at crush. Best Oak Instant opens quickly into the juice while the dust sits on top.
