PORT WASHINGTON, N.Y., May 9, 2013 - Pall Corporation (NYSE:PLL), today announced the sale of its 1000^thOenoflow™ filtration system to the wine industry. The Oenoflow system protects wine characteristics while significantly reducing winery operating costs. It also alleviates environmental concerns associated with traditional processing methods that utilize Diatomaceous Earth (DE) and basic depth sheet filtration.

Introduced in 1998, the Pall Oenoflow system has become the global standard for wine clarification with installations in over 30 different countries representing every major wine producing region of the world.

“Pall developed the Oenoflow system to eliminate the use and disposal of filter aids like DE and provide operational benefits that include reductions in wine loss, utility usage and labor. Receiving our 1000^th Oenoflow system order is a notable milestone. It represents significant change in wine production worldwide during the last decade and is a strong testament to the benefits of the Oenoflow system.’” said Jonathan Pratt, president, Pall Food & Beverage and Laboratory.

Oenoflow systems have streamlined the winemaking process by replacing the combined DE and sheet filtration operations into a single process step. Clarification is achieved without the use of filter aids, centrifugation or interference with the organoleptic components of the wine. Using high area, hollow fiber microfiltration membranes, the systems efficiently remove suspended solids, yeast and bacteria that can impact wine quality. As an automated system, minimal labor is required during operation, significantly reducing winery costs.

The 1000^th system was ordered by California based Sutter Home Winery, Inc., DBA Trinchero Family Estates, the 4th largest winery in the United States.

“In a competitive environment, wineries are under pressure to increase production yields and ensure quality while satisfying increasingly stringent environmental and food safety requirements. Pall’s Oenoflow systems are a proven means to help wineries achieve these goals,” Mr. Pratt said.

PORT WASHINGTON, N.Y., October 06, 2011 - SUPRApak™ technology, a new alternative to conventional sheet filters for wine from Pall Corporation (NYSE: PLL) has been awarded a silver medal in the SITEVI 2011 Innovation Awards Program. Honored in the category of new innovations for winemaking/oenology under processing of wine, Pall’s SUPRApak module minimizes wine production losses while improving process security and product quality.

SUPRApak modules are constructed using the same proven depth media as classical sheet filters; however, the media is configured into a modular format that fits easily into an enclosed housing for safe, simple and hygienic operation. SUPRApak has a unique flow configuration that optimizes the adsorption, surface and depth filtration mechanisms to increase capacity by up to 250 percent.

“While filter sheet use is a tradition in the wine industry, increasing demand for sealed systems and product quality has intensified the need for alternative solutions," said Jonathan Pratt, President Pall Food & Beverage. “Sheet filters in a plate and frame assembly are open to the air resulting in drip losses, and can potentially expose the wine to contamination and oxidation. In contrast, SUPRApak modules use enclosed housings eliminating the losses, hygiene concerns and dramatically reducing maintenance needs.”

The high packing density and modular design of SUPRApak allows for extremely high surface area in a compact footprint. Up to 85 percent reduction in floor space can be achieved when compared to the horizontal chassis design of most flat filter sheet assemblies. Additionally with minimal components and replacement parts, filter change-out times can be reduced by 65 percent.

SUPRApak modules are also used in other food and beverage applications including spirits filtration, olive oil clarification, polishing of sweeteners, gelatin, yeast extract and flavors, and fine filtration of beer.

 A new crossflow filtration system from Pall Corporation (NYSE:PLL) enables wineries to recover high quality wine that can be lost in the production sediment, or lees. The Oenoflow™ HS system utilizes Pall’s hollow fiber membrane technology to overcome the inefficiencies of traditional DE (diatomaceous earth)-based filters, increasing the yield of high quality product and improving profitability for wine producers.

The Pall Oenoflow™ HS is a closed filtration system that minimizes oxygen pick up and maintains wine color, aroma, acidity, and flavor characteristics. This ensures that product quality is retained, enabling the recovered wine to be returned to the original batch at a significantly higher value than product recovered with traditional methods.

By eliminating the need for filters aids such as DE, the system reduces cost and waste, and eliminates the labor associated with operation, clean up and disposal of traditional DE filters. These benefits result in a very short winery return on investment, typically less than two years.

“The Oenoflow™ HS filtration system improves the efficiency and profitability of wine production. The quality of the recovered wine is exceptional, with the system also providing valuable operational and environmental benefits,” said Nicole Madrid, Pall’s Global Marketing Leader for Wine & Spirits.
