Applications
Beverage Filtration Systems
The beverage industry consists of companies that are involved in the production and processing of drinks, including soft drinks and alcoholic drinks. Water is the base product in many drinks, meaning beverage filtration systems are important for improving the clarity and taste of beverages. At Fileder, we offer beverage filtration systems and water treatments to improve the quality of drinks for beverage companies around the UK.

Advantages of Beverage Filtration Systems
We provide a range of beverage filtration systems to remove particulates that can impart an unwanted aesthetic, as well as microorganisms that are used in the beverage process. For example, yeast, bacteria, and moulds. Here are some ways our beverage filtration solutions help in beverage production:
- Carbon filtration removes chloramine, chlorine, and other chemicals that can cause unwanted tastes and odours.
- Reverse osmosis can remove almost all dissolved contaminants to produce a ‘pure’ base product. This base can then be mixed with the desired ingredients to produce the final drink.
At Fileder, our systems can remove a variety of particles and organisms to ensure your drinks are fit for consumption. For example, they can remove:
- Chloramine and chlorine for taste and odour.
- Bacteria from bottled water and soft drinks.
- Bioburden, yeast, and spoilage organisms from beer and cider.
- Char and fatty esters from whisky.
- Botanicals from gin and other distilled spirits.
- Microorganisms from wine
At Fileder, we’re committed to the quality and safety of your drink products. That’s why we follow the following beverage system standards.
- DIN EN ISO 846 for Resistance to Microorganisms – an international standard that specifies methods for evaluating the resistance of plastics to microorganisms such as fungi, bacteria, and soil.
- EC 1935/2004 for Food-Contact Materials and Objects – a European Union regulation that states the general principles for the safety of food contact materials.
Water plays a huge role in the drinks industry. It is the essential base ingredient for almost all beverages, including soft drinks, spirits, beer, and juice. The quality of the water used is therefore incredibly important as it shapes the flavour, stability, and safety of the product. Without proper filtration, water can create flavours and odours that are ‘off’, and may contain contaminants that should have been removed.
