Gusmer Enterprises Carbac ® Carbon Filter Media
Carbac carbon impregnated filter media is an excellent solution to the hassle and mess of working with loose, powdered carbons. A composite of the finest charge- modified cellulose pulps, premium activated powdered carbon and inorganic filter aids, the Carbac media has been formulated specifically for its ability to adsorb color, aroma and flavor compounds from distilled spirits. It is an excellent tool for the final color and flavor adjustments in brown spirits and complete color removal in white spirits. The Carbac carbon impregnated filter media is available to fit any size plate filter press or in a lenticular cartridge form. Benefits • Clean and convenient reduction in color, flavor and aroma with consistent results • A fixed bed of carbon provides improved efficiencies over the use of loose powdered carbon • Manufactured under strict quality control guidelines to ensure uniform and consistent performance • Can meet the needs of specific applications through a variety of grades • Available in a sheet or a Cellu-Stack ® lenticular cartridge format • Grade selection and process optimization support is available through Gusmer’s application laboratories
