Bucher Vaslin Flavy FGC
Gusmer Enterprises, in partnership with Bucher Vaslin, is excited to announce the introduction of the Flavy FGC, a Grand Capacity Filter that delivers innovative sustainability solutions for modern winemaking. The FGC features a modular skid-based design with options for independent control and automated skid by skid backflushing, maximizing filtration uptime. Up to 4 skids can be connected, providing flow rates up to 9,000 gallons per hour. A retention tank pressurized with recycled nitrogen gas is used to drive backflush cycles, eliminating traditional bladder maintenance and waste. Wine losses are reduced to as low as 0.1% with the on-board concentration tank. Already the industry leader in minimizing water and cleaning chemical consumption, Bucher Vaslin has also added their new Eco Energy Filtration feature exclusively to the Flavy FGC. This patented system automates pump usage and power consumption during filtration as needed without affecting flow rates, resulting in energy savings up to 60%!
