Quality water means life for people and industries

Almost everything made for people to consume involves water. Whether it is the main ingredient or is used only for washing ingredients and cleaning equipment, water needs to be clean and sustainably managed. Some uses are common to all food and beverage manufacturers, while others relate to filtering water and controlling dissolved gases for particular uses and products. Whatever you make and regardless of your output volume, Solventum filtration solutions help keep you meeting your customer’s needs. 

Beer

Water filtration is vital for unique craft beers and popular brews alike. Even “unfiltered” beer begins with filtered water. It is an art form that requires patience and attention to details. Your brewery can focus on quality and taste when you choose reliable, cost-effective separation and purification solutions from Solventum.

Wine

From one vintage to the next, crafting exquisite wines necessitates dependable filtration and gas control solutions that possess an elegance of their own. Whether it's filtering the wine to maintain its texture and flavour, or purifying and managing the water used for cleaning bottles and equipment, Solventum has the solutions you require.

Bottled water

Soft drinks

Creating soft drinks is no easy task! You must begin with pure water, then manage dissolved gases and meticulously balance sweeteners, flavours, and appearance—the possibilities are as endless as the ever-evolving preferences of the consumer. Solventum provides purification and filtration solutions from your source line right through to your bottling line. 

Other beverages and foods

Fruit juice, soups, canned goods, edible oils —even “dry” foods like baked goods and pasta —require liquid filtration, purification and sometimes dissolved gas control. Even if water is not a key part of the product’s preparation, it is still used for cleaning equipment and ensuring regulatory compliance. Let Solventum show you solutions that preserve the quality and flavours your customers expect.
