How does cross-flow filtration work?

Distinct from traditional cross-flow filtration, our dead-end filtration technology employs a larger surface area of membrane filters for more efficient processing of wine solids, while also ensuring no desirable wine components are lost in the filtration – since no wine passes the membrane. This technology even allows for remaining wine solids caught in the membranes to be back-washed for further filtration, offering unparalleled control over the final product.
