The company has introduced free trial capsules for its BEVPOR BR range of filters , enabling breweries to undertake taste and visual quality trials , and test the effectiveness of this filtration method .
The initiative will help companies to explore alternative microbial stabilisation methods to pasteurization and analyse the impact of BEVPOR BR filters on their own beer products . It will also help them to compare BEVPOR BR filters to any existing sterile filtration technology they may already have in place . 58 FDPP - www . fdpp . co . uk
BEVPOR BR filters from Parker are used within automated Cold Stabilisation Module ( CSM ), products from Agidens Process Automation . Parker Bioscience Filtration ’ s partnership with Agidens Process Automation enables the global brewing industry to access systems which integrate Parker Bioscience Filtration ’ s microfiltration solutions with Agidens ’ automated processing technology .
Sterile filtration solutions provided by Parker Bioscience Filtration are designed to allow brewers to significantly reduce the costs of microbial stabilization while protecting the beer ’ s sensory appeal .
BEVPOR BR filters have been designed to provide superior filter life in comparison to other sterile filtration products . They can be directly retrofitted into competitor brewery automation products which are commonly used in brewery cold stabilisation applications directly before bottling and kegging .
The BEVPOR BR range of filters have been constructed with a unique Polyethersulphone ( PES ) membrane , offering a long service life and therefore a highly efficient and low cost of operation in sterile filtration of beer applications .
BEVPOR BR filters are certified to European and US food contact requirements , provide absolute elimination of beer spoilage organisms and can be easily integrity tested .
