Used Filtrox Werk Filter-O-Mat 106 Beverage Filtration System

- Manufacturer: Filtrox Werk AG
- Type: Filter-O-Mat 106
- Year of Manufacture: 1982

The machine was sold with 69 horizontal leaves giving a filtration surface of 44.9 square metres. At this size this would give an output on beer of 225 hectolitres per hour, however, on cider or wine a significantly higher output would be obtained.

The corresponding sludge volume is 966 litres and, assuming a Kieselguhr precoat of 1 kilogramme per square metre, you could expect the following run lengths as a function of dose rate:-

Dose Rate (gm/hl) Batch Size (hl)
50 4'800
