“ In addition , by retrofitting BEVPOR BR filter cartridges into existing automated cold stabilisation units , breweries can improve the cost of filtration though a superior filter life and a reduced cost per litre of beer filtered .
Parker Bioscience Filtration is part of Parker Hannifin , the world ’ s leading diversified manufacturer of motion and control technologies and systems , and has operations in Oxnard , California and Birtley , UK .
Lee Pattison , Product Manager - Food & Beverage at Parker Bioscience Filtration , said : “ We ’ re delighted to be offering breweries the opportunity to trial our BEVPOR BR filter capsules .
“ Sterile filtration of beer is a gentle alternative to pasteurization , lengthening the shelf-life of beer at reduced costs in energy consumption , water usage and waste product . This is important in a competitive market , where there is an increasing emphasis on reducing both operational costs and breweries ’ carbon footprints .
“ Sterile filtration is also proven to retain the unique and desired characteristics and flavour of beer better than traditional pasteurization techniques . For breweries who are exporting beer and for craft brewers who are investing significant resources into developing unique products , sterile filtration can therefore be of enormous benefit .
“ By using our trial capsules , breweries can conduct their own testing on the impact of BEVPOR BR filters on their beer products . This will enable them to see the difference these solutions can make compared to pasteurization – or their existing filtration technology – for themselves .
Parker Bioscience Filtration has five decades of experience in working with the international food and beverage sector and offers a wide range of filtration solutions .
