Last week marked again a milestone in FILTROX history as we unveiled our new production line at our facility in Tlalnepantla, Mexico! It was an honor to host guests from the U.S., Mexico, Peru, Colombia, Guatemala, the Dominican Republic, and Brazil, including esteemed officials, suppliers, partners, and distributors. His Excellency Piero Piffaretti, the Swiss Ambassador to Mexico, joined José Maria Padilla of the State of Mexico and Carmen Ugalde of Tlalnepantla City for the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

Carbon treatment is an excellent technique for color and odor reduction of a Hard Seltzer base. The selection of the most suitable type of activated carbon has to be tested case by case. This application note describes the evaluation and treatment of cider as a hard seltzer base with activated carbon on lab scale and pilot scale.
Winemakers around the world have been using FIBRAFIX® TX-R filter sheets for more than a decade to remove cork taint and musty tones. At the same time, increasing the wine and beverage freshness, favoring the primary and secondary aromas and thus adding value to the treated products. These specifically designed depth filter sheets contain an inorganic compound, allowing to adsorb TCA and TBA molecules by a lock and key principle.
Aromas analysis before and after treatment The graph shows the aroma analysis of a wine before and after treatment with FIBRAFIX® TX-R. After filtration, the original TCA concentration (20 ng / L) is well below the flavor threshold of 5 ng / L and no more TCA could be detected. At the same time, none of the aroma compounds examined showed a significant difference.
Improving the taste of wine The treatment of wine with FIBRAFIX® TX-R allows to reduce TCA and TBA levels below the flavor threshold while fully preserving the aroma profile. The sheets are available in a wide range of formats which allows application in any commercially available depth filter system, for example in our filter systems. In addition, depth filter sheets are available as FILTRODISC™ lenticular modules. All the materials used for the FIBRAFIX® TX-R production are FDA approved and admitted by the OIV.
In addition, with our lab- scale TX-R test kit you can test and verify the effectiveness on your wine.
Effective and specific removal of TCA / TBA compared to other methods.
OIV admitted and FDA approved compounds.
Easy to use like conventional depth filtration.

In the age of dry hopping, brewers are searching for more efficient ways to clarify their beer. One of the major challenges is high particulate loads or shorter storage times. This will eventually lead to early filter blockages, shorter filtration cycles and subsequently downtime.
In order to increase capacity and filter life, we have developed a new FIBRAFIX® filter sheet. The new FIBRAFIX® AF 11H filter sheet with unique partial perforation technology combines all advantages brewers are looking for when pre-filtering or polishing their hazy beers.
The ideal sheet for pre-filtration when hopping or for polishing naturally cloudy beers!
20% more surface compared to regular filter sheets.
15% more capacity than regular filter sheets.
DE free filter material.
Lowest driploss results in an economic filtration.
