Buon Vino Super Jet Filter

We always recommend that the wine is cleared first with some sort of finings. The idea with a filter is add a clarity and polish. The clearing should be done first.
We love the mini jet for its ease of use and convenience but it has its limitations. One batch (23litres) through one set of pads (three in a set) maybe two batches if you are lucky. The wine goes through in about 15 minutes, and comes out with a brilliant shine.
With the Super Jet we find that we can filter 4 by 23litre batches using one set (there are 3 pads as well) of fine pads.
If it’s really clear we can get up to 6 lots through.
The back pressure did rise, but as the Super Jet is fitted with a pressure gauge you can monitor this. 18 psi on the gauge being the recommended limit.
There are three different sets of pads available Course (suggested almost as a pretreatment) fine (which we tend to use all the time) and Sterile (for removing stubborn hazes). Each pack has three pads in it.
The inlet tube has an anti-sediment end so if there are small amounts of deposit in the bottom of the container this won’t come through initially and block the pads. It also has a metal wire in it to prevent it kinking.
Nothing to stop you using this filter for beer or other liquids you want a clear polish to.
It’s important to make sure Starch and Pectin are treated before filtering as these can prove to be really stubborn to remove.
