Pall’s expertise at your fingertips

Pall’s new Oenoflow PRO XL system simplifies process control for the modern
winemaker by connecting your specific operation with Pall’s global experience.
Oenoflow PRO XL systems deliver a first in its class technology to enhance filtration
throughput and reduce filtration operating expenses.

Oenoﬂow™ PROSystems

The Oenoflow PRO XL system introduces Pall’s new Optimizer algorithm which automatically adjusts
system settings in real time based on the wine’s individual physical and chemical characteristics.
These optimized settings replace standard settings that are not efficient for every production cycle. TheOenoflow PRO Optimizer algorithm learns and adjusts settings to help wineries get the best resultsfrom each filtration.
With this highly enhanced performance, wineries with the new Oenoflow PRO XL system can realize
an estimated 10% savings in OPEX when compared to traditional Oenoflow systems.1,2 A summary offield trial results that measured operating expense improvements is shown below.

Summary• E xecutives/managers can track OPEX for each system, each winery or for the entire winerygroup as needed. The Oenoflow PRO system simplifies operations by aggregating data fromeach machine into customer specific dashboard.
• P roduction supervisors can access data in the dashboard and download reports showing
the filtration history of each machine, including rinse verification recorded by the includedconductivity meter.
• O perators can use the new Oenoflow PRO system’s mobile or desktop app to view live production status, volume remaining to be filtered and alarms. This will allow them more freedom
to perform other duties while operating the Oenoflow PRO system. The HMI screen on theOenoflow PRO system itself is also updated further enhancing ease of use.
• M aintenance personnel can use the new Oenoflow PRO mobile or desktop app to accessmanuals, spare parts lists, service records and even request a service visit from Pall technicians.
• P all technicians can start remote diagnosis of system issues as soon as they are notified. Thissaves significant time and may in some cases completely avoid the need for an on-site visit.
The new Oenoflow PRO system and its unique Optimizer algorithm combine sixty years of Pall
expertise with the very latest in filtration technology. These advances, coupled with the additional
ease of use, deliver a truly innovative system that meets the needs of a 21st century winery.

XL Modules Have More Than Twice the Area of Most Competitive Modules
By eliminating the drawbacks of traditional diatomaceous earth (DE) and sheet filtration, Oenoflow
filtration systems have become the preferred technology in the wine-making industry.
The hollow fiber system enables wineries to remove suspended contaminants from wine in a reliable,
reproducible and single process step. Clarification is achieved without the need for filter aids, centrifugation or interference with the chemical, physical or organoleptic components of the wine.
Cost savings is realized by reducing wine loss, consumables and labor. Furthermore, with a DE-freeprocess and no solid waste for landfill, both environmental and operator safety are improved.
A Remarkable Membrane
Wine is a fluid rich in complexity with a delicate chemical and physical balance. It is essential to workwith an inert filtration membrane to preserve the taste and balance. At the same time, the contaminants,
whether from wine’s natural evolution or a result of the manufacturing process, can be very small insize. The membrane must be designed to handle these solids whilst preventing blockage.
Manufactured in polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), the Oenoflow membrane has a balanced solid-voidratio that permits operation even with high solids loading. The homogenous structure guarantees
resistance to abrasion and high flow rates without compromising reliability, even with aggressive
cleaning regimes.
Twenty years of experience in the field and absolute excellence in performance, clearly demonstrates
the technical superiority of this proprietary membrane.

XL Modules
The large diameter Oenoflow XL modules incorporate Pall’s proven PVDF membrane with 21.5 m2 ofsurface area the XL modules have at least twice the area of most competitive hollow fiber membranes
These high flow modules allow Pall to manufacture more compact and therefore more economicalsystems. With a smaller footprint and less water and chemical consumption, Oenoflow XL systems
are in line with many wineries sustainability programs. Oenoflow XL modules have been qualified forcompliance to specific regulatory standards for products coming into contact with foodstuffs. For
further details, please contact Pall.
