Additive for the food industry Fibra-Cel®

for the beverage industrycellulose fiber

We have formulated an extensive range of cellulose fiber filter aids to suit all food and beverage filtration applications. Improved pre-coating in beer and wine filtration Our Celite Fibra-Cel range are cellulose-based products ideal for rapid pre-coating in beer and wine filtration, especially when old or damaged screens are being used. The Celite Fibra-Cel range offers a stable cake formation and can protect the filter cake against unwanted pressure shocks. It also aids filter cake release during filter wash-offs. Multi-functional product properties: Precoats rapidly. Fibers quickly bridge openings in filter screens and cloths, especially openings too large to be precoated with ordinary diatomite or perlite filter aids. Promotes longer cycles. Fibers protect septums and prevent blinding. Cleans rapidly. Releases quickly and cleanly from filter septums by backwashing or rinsing. Forms a stable cake. Fibrous layer resists pressure shocks to the filter cake. Prevents filter aid bleed-through. Fibers form a stable base after pre-coats and admixes of diatomite or perlite. Prevents mechanical leaks. Fibers can precoat comparatively large openings around gaskets and filter leaf seats. Separates liquid phases. Absorptive properties can separate different liquid phases from each other, for example, water in olive oils. Facilitates waste disposal. Spent cake may be incinerated to reduce volume for disposal. Fibra-Cel filtration applications: Alkaline solutions – where even small amounts of soluble silica are objectionable. Beverages – excellent cake stability while preventing filter aid bleed-through.
