It is used instead of Diatomite (Kizelgur) as a filtering aid during the production of liquid foodstuffs in the industry. The fact that it is sterile, does not contain organic matter in its composition and neutral material such as pH 6.6-8 ensures its use as a filtering aid on foodstuffs.  

Perlite offers thousands of unique notched and interlocking microscopic channels, providing the best flow rate and clarity for many different uses. Perlite filter aids do not spoil the taste, color and odor of the filtered liquids, and they do not show real melting as mineral and organic acids at all degrees. Expanded Micronized Perlites are used in filtration applications.

COST ADVANTAGE

Perlite filter aids offer the user a density advantage of 20-50% more than other filter aids, significantly affecting the costs.

Experience in many different uses in many industrial areas has shown that those who use filter aids significantly reduce their filtration costs by converting them to perlite filter aids, without compromising on efficiency.

HIGH FLOW RATES

Due to their unique physical structure, perlite filter aids offer higher flow rates with the best clarity. They are particularly applicable in high viscous liquids such as syrups or gelatinous slurries. Efficiency, clarity and flow rates can be further increased by using perlite filter aids.

VARIETY FOR ALL DIFFERENT GRADES

Perlite filter aids are produced in a variety of grades to meet the flow rates and clarity requirements required for use in almost every industry.

EASY WASTE DISCHARGE

Perlite filter aids ensure that the pulp wastes are easily released after the filtration process is completed, as they remain porous and do not become compacted. This not only ensures filter cleaning, but also reduces the need for manpower and therefore increases efficiency.

INERT-CODEX APPROVED

Perlite filter aids are frequently used for filtering fluids in the beverage, food and pharmaceutical industries. They do not impair taste, color or odor and are listed in the US Food Chemicals Codex, published by the American National Science Academy. This publication, which is the source of information about the quality and purity of foodstuffs, is officially recognized by the US Food and Drug Administration FDA and has been adopted by the relevant authorities of many countries around the world.

USAGE OF WASTE FILTER PERLITE WASTE AS ANIMAL FEED

A unique benefit of perlite filter aids in food processing for manufacturers is the use of wasted filter pulp as animal feed in many countries of the world. This also reduces the disposal costs of wasted filter pulp. In the USA, this practice has also been approved by the American Association of Feed Control Officials (AAFCO).

AVAILABILITY AROUND THE WORLD

It is possible to find perlite filter aids all over the world. All manufacturers wishing to use this product can easily obtain it in packaged bags or in bulk.

In the last 30 years, perlite filter aids have been accepted by almost all industries for the separation of liquids and solids. The following list does not include all, but shows many applications where perlite filter aids are used.
