AN INTEGRATED SYSTEM SUITABLE FOR FILTRATION TESTS.

Mastermind Q.F.T. is a laboratory tool able to analyse wine filterability indices and thr Fouling Index of water; thanks to an accurate weight test, it can calculate the most interesting wine and water indices completely automatically and can check temperature, as well.

Mastermind Q.F.T. can automatically calculate these filterability indices based on weight reading and temperature checks. The results are high repeatable due to the high standardization allowed by this tool and can be shown on a PC display (not provided) and stored in a database (MS Access) or printed as a report (or stored in .pdf format). The dedicated software is included. The heart of this tool is a precision balance specifically developed for this application in cooperation with Gibertini Elettronica Srl, a world leading company for the production of precision balancing tools.

Mastermind Q.F.T. also records the temperature at which the test was carried out: thus it is possible to acurately compare the data collected by the tool at many different times. Moreover, it is possible to edit the test parameters in order to analyse filterability indices in special applications (e.g. juices), too.

GOALS

• better comprehension of wine conditions in order to choose the best filtration system possible
• checking the results after filtering wines
• checkling the obstructing effect of service waters
• great savings thanks to the improved control of all filtering and filter regeneration processes

CERTIFICATIONS

Q.F.T. (the forefather of the current version of Mastermind) has been used since the 90's by the best wine laboratories in Italy, thus guaranteeeing that all membrane processes are carried out according to the requests of the procedures validated by testing bodies.
