Filtration systems of USF type are widely used in liquor industry and are intended for processing of alcohol water mixtures (sortings) and vodkas. Experts of Technofilter RME developed and certified a series of USF units based on "Silver filtration" technology with a capacity up to 1000 dal/h for sorting.
The principle of the USF operation is the processing of water-alcohol mixtures (sortings) by passing the liquid through the preliminary and coal filtration unit, ensuring the required quality of the product.
The unit is equipped with a pump to provide the necessary pressure and the complete exhaustion of filter element operation life. It is also equipped with shut-off valves for draining the air, and also with valves for draining the liquid and control valves.
A flow meter is installed to measure the rate of filtration downstream of the system. Sight glasses mounted on the cover of filter holders are designed to visually control the filling of the holders with liquid. Pressure gauges are used to measure the pressure drop across the two stages of the system.
The presence of a control panel with an automatic switch and a frequency converter facilitates a smooth adjustment of the filtering speed, an energy-saving mode of operation of the unit, and eliminates the heating of the filtered sorting.

“Silver filtration” systems successfully operate on 200 enterprises in Russia, Ukraine, the Republic of Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kirghizia, Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan, Armenia, Georgia, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Croatia, Slovakia, Mongolia, India, Brazil.
"Silver filtration" systems with filter cartridges EPSF.UAg0.4 from 2005 are recommended for use instead of coal columns ("Production technological regulations for the production of vodkas and alcoholic beverages". Amendment No. 1 to MF 10-12292-99 of 07.11.2005 8.5.9 and Changing No. 2 to MFR 10-12292-99 from 12.03 8.5.9) on small-scale production plants, in factories with long stops while filtering on coal batteries, as an additional purification of water-alcohol solutions after coal columns and as a control filtration before bottling in order to increase organoleptic properties.
