Technical Specifications & Performance Data The Used Fossil Flour
Filter Della Toffola NF 5 1996 is a pressure filtration unit designed
for beverage clarification with diatomaceous earth (fossil flour). It
is well suited for pre-bottling and canning stages in beverage
production and industrial packaging lines, supporting high product
clarity before rinsing, filling, capping, and labeling operations.
Manufacturer: Della Toffola Model: NF 5 Year of construction: 1996
(maintenance performed in 2012) Filtration stages: 3-stage
configuration for coarse-to-fine clarification Operating context:
Suitable for isobaric process environments and prefiltration ahead of
carbonated product filling Electrical supply: 400 V, 50 Hz Full load
current: 15 A Safety features: integrated protections and interlocks
included Documentation: manuals available Typical applications:
filtration of water, juice, beer, wine, cider, and soft drinks Line
compatibility: upstream of rinsing, filling, capping, and labeling on
PET, glass, and aluminum lines Throughput: dependent on product
characteristics, temperature, and filter-aid dosing Advanced
Automation & Control Systems The NF 5 is equipped with a centralized
control panel providing straightforward operation and process
monitoring. It supports manual to semi-automatic sequences for
precoat, body-feed, and polishing steps, helping operators maintain
stable flow and differential pressure throughout filtration runs.
Instrumentation commonly includes pressure and differential-pressure
indication for consistent quality, while the electrical configuration
at 400 V and 50 Hz with a 15 A full-load current enables reliable
motor and pump operation. Safety features included on the unit enhance
operator protection during pressurization and cleaning. Start/stop and
alarm indication from a dedicated control panel Differential pressure
monitoring to guide filter-aid dosing and cycle end-point Emergency
stop and interlock circuits for safe operation Compatible with dosing
systems for fossil flour precoat and body-feed Production Line
Integration Capabilities This second hand filtration unit integrates
seamlessly into a used bottling line as a pre-treatment step prior to
isobaric fillers and standard filling systems. Its hygienic
connections and CIP-friendly design allow quick tie-in to existing
tanks, product transfer pumps, and CIP skids. Changeovers between
beverage types are handled by adjusting flow rates and filter-aid
recipes, supporting both small- and large-format production. Easy
connection to upstream storage/fining tanks and downstream fillers
Supports PET, glass, and aluminum packaging workflows Compatible with
downstream rinsing, filling, capping, and labeling equipment Flexible
filtration regimes for multiple beverage recipes Machine Condition &
Maintenance History Current status: in storage. The unit was recently
used before decommissioning and underwent maintenance in 2012. Visual
condition is consistent with a well-kept, second hand industrial
filter from a reputable manufacturer. Manuals are available to support
recommissioning, SOP development, and operator training. As with any
equipment moved from service to storage, a standard start-up
programâinspection of seals, gauges, and valves; verification of
instrumentation; and replacement of wear parts as neededâis
recommended prior to production. Operational Performance & Versatility
Designed for reliable clarification of water, juice, beer, wine,
cider, and U6354234 soft drinks, the NF 5 helps achieve stable
turbidity and product brilliance prior to packaging. Its three-stage
approach supports coarse removal through to fine polishing, reducing
particulate load on any downstream membrane or sterile filtration
steps. Whether your line handles PET bottles, returnable or
non-returnable glass, or aluminum cans, this filter aligns with
beverage production requirements and can be deployed in seasonal
campaigns or continuous operations within a used bottling line
environment. Installation Requirements & Site Preparation Electrical:
400 V, 50 Hz, approx. 15 A FLA Water and CIP: supply for cleaning and
flushing; sanitary drain for CIP return and spent filter media slurry
Compressed air: recommended if actuated valves or air-blow steps are
used Space and access: allocate footprint plus service clearance for
opening, inspection, and media handling Media handling: provisions for
safe storage and dosing of fossil flour; suitable ventilation and dust
control Flooring: level, washable surface with spill containment as
appropriate Safety Standards & Compliance Certification Safety
features included on this Della Toffola NF 5 support secure operation
under pressure, with guarding, interlocks, and emergency stop
provisions. Hygienic design and food-grade materials facilitate
cleaning and help maintain product integrity from filtration through
filling, capping, and labeling. The available manuals aid in
compliance verification, risk assessment, and operator train
