KMS provides continuous, low maintenance clarification of all types of vinegar

 
Hollow Fiber Vinegar Clarification System

•  KMS membranes, rated for 18% (180 grain) acetic acid,
   filter vinegar for clarity, haze stability, and preferred color.
•  Proven technology with greater than 99% product recovery
•  Reverse osmosis system for producing 200+ grain

With more than 30 systems in continuous operation, KMS has demonstrated that membrane filtration is the cost-effective solution for the high quality vinegar. 





Main process features include:  
•  One-step clarification with excellent post-bottling haze stability
•  Eliminates diatomaceous earth
•  Reduces turbidity below 1 NTU
•  Continuous operation with monthly cleaning (typical)
•  Compact design
•  One-step clarification of all vinegar products: 
    -  White distilled 
    -  Apple cider 
    -  Wine 
    -  Rice wine 
    -  Malt

The family of standard systems for vinegar filtration includes:
