What Is Depth Filtration?
Depth filtration uses layered, typically cellulose based media to capture contaminants through surface filtration, depth filtration, and adsorption mechanisms. This combination supports haze reduction, colloidal stability, and protection of downstream systems. Its capabilities make it ideal for applications requiring clarity, stability, and reliable spoilage organism reduction.
Depth filter media trap contaminants throughout the depth of the matrix, helping remove suspended solids, haze, and microorganisms while providing reliable clarification and downstream system protection. Depth filtration is a process that uses this layered media structure to manage suspended solids and spoilage organisms effectively.
What Is a Depth Filtration System?
A depth filtration system uses layered media to remove suspended solids, haze, and microorganisms from food and beverage products. It works by trapping contaminants throughout a thick matrix of depth filter media, combining surface filtration, depth filtration, and adsorption mechanisms to support consistent clarification and microbial reduction.
