• A 1st pressure reducer (1) set to 5.5 bars (Flavy FX 1-2-3-5-6 VT filter) or 8 bars (Flavy
FX 1-2-3-5-6 VE filter) ensures the filter’s supply of air.
• A 2nd pressure reducer (1) set to 2.5 bars (Flavy FX 1-2-3-5-6 VT filter only) is used to
feed the back filtration sleeves.
9 / 64
Never intervene on the powered valve mechanisms when the filter is switched
on or under air pressure.
4.4 AUTOMATIC RESIDUE CONCENTRATION TEST
A patented device constantly tests, during filtration, the state of membranes, enabling the
reduction of intermediate rinsings and limitation of chemical washings.
4.5 SAFETY DEVICES OF THE « FILTERED WINE CIRCUIT
PRESSURE CALLED PERMEAT »
• With still wine, if the pressure in the filtered wine circuit exceeds 2.7 bar, the filter stops
running.
• With effervescent wine, ifthe pressure in the filtered wine circuit exceeds the filter
pressurization pressure + 2.7 bar, the filter stops running.
• If the sensor measuring the pressure in the filtered wine circuit is defective, the filter
stops running.
The control panel screen displays these faults.
4.6 SAFETY DEVICES OF THE « WINE TO FILTER CIRCUIT
PRESSURE CALLED RESIDUE »
• If the sensor measuring the pressure in the wine-for-filtering circuit is defective, the filter
stops running.
4.7 MTP (MEAN TRANSMEMBRANE PRESSURE) SAFETY DEVICE
• If the MTP reading exceeds 2 bar, the filter stops running.
4.8 PUTTING THE FILTER BACK IN SERVICE
When a safety device trips, the cause of the fault must be sought, the fault corrected and the
filter put back into service :
• By following the instructions indicated on the screen.
• Or by pressing key
• Or by stopping and then restarting filter feed.

TANKS ».
7.2 TANGENTIAL FILTRATION
Pump P2 pumps wine-for-filtering into the Bucher Vaslin filtration modules containing
microporous tubular membranes. The P2 (RESIDUE loop) pump circuit is fed with untreated
wine from the « WINE FOR FILTERING » tank by pump P1. Due to the pressure built up by pump
P1, the untreated wine flows through the tubular membranes and is thus filtered.
The speed of circulation of wine in the RESIDUE loop prevents immediate clogging of
membranes by impurities contained in the wine-for-filtering.
The filtered wine is drained off to the « FILTERED WINE » tank. The pressure of filtered wines,
the pressure of the RESIDUE loop are measured.
The flow and volume of filtered wine are measured and displayed on the automaton screen.
Depending on the type of wine and its impurities, the filtration modules get clogged at varying
intervals of time. An automatic backfiltering device regularly unclogs the filtration modules.
Backfiltered quantities of wine can be either stored in an ancillary tank or returned to the mother
tank or stored in the back-filtration tube for automatic refiltration.
Impurities contained in the wine are retained in the filter. They are concentrated and regularly
drained off to the lees when in automatic mode.
The volume drained off to lees is displayed on the automaton screen.
7.3 RINSING
When in automatic filtration mode the filter itself checks on clogging of filtration modules and
automatically commands intermediate water rinsing cycles when necessary.
Those intermediate rinsings are achieved automatically.
7.4 WASHING
When changing type of wine for filtering (e.g.: red to white), when water rinsing is no longer
sufficiently effective or before a prolonged halt to filter running, a washing operation using
cleaning agents is necessary.
Cleanliness of membranes can be checked by the automatic « WATER FLOW » test.

8.2 THE WASHING PRODUCTS DISTRIBUTOR (B)
The washing products distributor, controlled by the filter,
enables the addition of different products (citric acid, soda,
chlorinated or unchlorinated products, hydrogen peroxide) to
water during washing programs (LONG or SHORT).
Dosages of the various products are achieved by entering the
volume of the product to be injected relative to the volume of
water in the tank. To know the dosages of the various washing
products refer to Chapter « WASHING/RINSING ».
B The procedure for modifying settings is decribed in Chapter «
MODIFICATION OF SETTINGS AND PROGRAMS ».
Position of product
containers
The various product containers must be placed as near as possible to
the filter and laid on the floor.
Suction and lift pipes
Make sure that the suction pipes (wide mouth) and lift (small mouth)
are always correctly placed in the various containers.
From time to time make sure the containers are filled with the appropriate
products.
8.3 THE EFFERVESCENT KIT (C)
C
The effervescent kit enables the Flavy FX 1-2-3-5-6 filter to
operate under pressure and so filter effervescent wines while
preventing the wine from becoming degassed during filter
filling.
To use the filter for effervescent wine, you must connect the
mother tank to the pressure equalization tap (C) on the Flavy
FX filter.
08 - Optional equipments for the Flavy FX 1 - 2 - 3 - 5 - 6 filter
25 / 64
8.4 WATER PREFILTER (D)
A water prefilter fitted with 3 disposable filtration cartridges (20’’) is available for the Flavy FX
5 and Flavy FX 6 models only. The prefilter provides 3 filtration steps to 5, 1 and 0.5 microns
respectively.
D
4 pressure gauges give readings on the dirt accumulation in the cartridges.
If the pressure variation reaches 1 bar between two pressure gauges, check the cartidge located
between the two pressure gauges.
If the pressure variation reaches 2 bars between the first and last pressure gauge, check the cartidges.
8.5 AUTOMATIC RESTART OF THE SECONDARY TANK (E)
A valve system (E) enables automatic filtration of the secondary tank to
restart (back-pulsing return) when
filtration of the main tank (parent
tank) is finished.
Once filtration of the secondary tank
is achieved, the retentate is drained
off to the lees.

09 - Preparation of the wines to be filtered
The Flavy FX 1 - 2 - 3 - 5 - 6 filter was designed and is appropriate for the filtration of previously
processed wines as specified in the present chapter.
Any other planned use must be submitted to Bucher Vaslin for their approval and special
recommendations if required.
In the event of non-compliance with this provision, Bucher Vaslin refuses any responsibility
involving the consequences relative to the equipment and processed products.
• Wines : Partially or fully fermented grape juices, stabilized using suitable physical or
oenological processes.
• Any wine is suitable for processing by the filter subject to appropriate pre-clarification
processes.
• In all cases, the purpose of the treatment is to pre-clarify wines in such a way as to obtain a
product whose NTU turbidity index will be less than 500 NTU.
• In order to achieve that, the following usual operations can be performed :
- Successive drawing off operations
- Complete sedimentation in the case of wines treated with products such as smectite,
active carbon, cream of tartar, etc
- Elimination of scale deposits
The filter must not UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES WHATSOEVER be fed
from the bottoms of tanks containing the deposits of sedimentations quoted
above.
• Temperature of wines for processing: from -4°C to +40°C. In the case of processing at
temperatures lower than 15°C, the filtration flow rate will be reduced bearing in mind the
viscosity of the processed product.
E.g.: A drop in flow rate occurs of the order of 2 to 2.5 % per degree Celsius between 15
and 0°C.
PROCESSING EFFERVESCENT WINES
Filtration of effervescent wines is possible with Flavy FX 1-2-3-5-6 VE filters only.

11.1 PREPARATION OF WINES FOR FILTERING FLAVY FX
11.1.1 POSITION OF THE FILTER FX IN RELATION TO THE TANKS
Feed and reception tanks must, as a general rule, be located as close as possible to the Flavy FX
filter.
The length of piping providing the link between the feed tank and the filter should not exceed
50 m.
A standard requirement is the positioning of the filter at the same level as the tanks.
If the filter is located at a lower level, you should make sure that in all cases the height of return
pumping does not exceed 6 m.
It is not recommended to set the filter higher than the reception tank. Indeed, that location could
result in a siphon effect on the filter with low pressure at the membrane output which would
disturb the machine process.
If, however, that proves indispensable :
• Make sure in all cases that the level in the bottom of the reception tank does not exceed
- 4 m relative to the filter’s lobe pump.
N.B. : In all cases, a no return valve ensures back pressure of 200 mbars required to ensure good
quality back filtrations.
Reminder :
A safety device inhibits use of the filter if the pressure in the filtered
wine circuit exceeds 2.7 bar (still wine) or the pressure of filter
pressurization + 2.7 bar (effervescent wine).
11.1.2 FILTER PREPARATION
• Check the connection to the various energy networks (electricity, compressed air, eau, gas).
• Use 40-mm diameter pipiing.
• Clean the filter before re-use.
33 / 64
WINE PREFILTER
The prefilter installed on the Flavy FX 1-2-3-5-6 filter is a
safety device provided to retain the solid particles that are
inadvertently carried along by the wine for filtering.
The prefilter is rapidly saturated and clogged up if the wine
for filtering contains suspended solid particles larger than 1
mm.
The prefilter must be washed daily (see paragraph 14.8 :
« WINE PREFILTER »).
P
The Flavy FX filter must not UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES
WHATSOEVER be operated without that safety device. If that clause is not
respected, Bucher Vaslin accepts no responsibility as to the consequences on
equipment and processed products.
• Clean the filter
First time use :
Carry out a rinsing operation with cold water followed by a short wash (see Chapter 11.5.2).
Make sure the filter is clean by testing last rinsing water (smell, taste, pH).
Restart a washing operation if the rinsing water test is not satisfactory.
After a long period of filter shutdown :
Refer to the strong recommendations in Chapter 13.
During the operating camapign :
Comply with the indications mentioned in Chapter 11.5 : «WASHING / RINSING / EMPTYING ».
In all cases, before starting filtration, make sure the filter is clean by testing the last rinsing water
and by checking the water flow rate.
• Check the values of the various settings (refer to Chapter « MODIFICATION OF
SETTINGS AND PROGRAMS ».

When an intermediate rinsing is commanded, the filter is no longer fed with wine for filtering.
• For Flavy FX VT filters, wine contained in the RETENTATE circuit is evacuated to the lees,
the wine contained in the PERMEATE circuit is discharged to the filtered wines tank.
• for Flavy FX VE filters, the wine contained in the RETENTATE circuit is discharged to the
mother tank, the wine contained in the PERMEATE circuit is discharged into the filtered
wines tank then the filter carries out a depressurization process.
Once the intermediate rinsing is achieved, filtration continues.
The rinsing cycle unfolds automatically. It cannot be modified by the user.

When the filter wine supply is interrupted (wine-for-filtering tank a priori empty), there is an
automatic halt to supply pump running.
If the difference between wine-for-filtering and filtered wine is greater than 10 Hl, the filter
signals « SUPPLY FAULT ». The filter then remains filled with wine.
Still wine :
If the difference in volume is less than 10 Hl, the filter starts the end of
filtration procedure :
• Evacuation of PERMEATE to the filtered wine tank

• Evacuation of RETENTATE circuit to mother tank.
• Depressurization of RETENTATE circuit and PERMEATE circuit.
The filter then automatically carries out the required sequence at the end of filtration (short
wash, long wash, rinsing or nothing).
When the programmed quantity of wine has been filtered, the filter then starts the end of
filtration procedure and if required, the end of filtration sequence.

11.3.5 STORING AND BOTTLING FILTERED WINES
Wines filtered with the FX filter have a low germ content on output from filter provided that the
machine has been properly cleaned.
That does not under any circumstances dispense the user from performing vital stability tests
and appropriate oenological processes.
During bottling, it is INDISPENSABLE to implement normal stabilisation
methods (cartridge filter, means of preservation, etc.) depending on the
characteristics of the filtered wines.

The PERMEATE circuit is dicharged to the filtered wines tank.
If the filter is filled with wine, a complete discharge of the filter is advised (see
the chapter TEST MODE). If this is not the case, always start by discharging the
FILTRATE circuit in order to recover the full volume of filtered wine contained
in the filter. If discharge were to start by the RESIDUE circuit, a percentage of
filtered wine would be conveyed, through the filtration membranes, to the
RESIDUE circuit.
11.4.4 MANUAL DEPRESSURIZATION OF FILTER
It is only active when there is a total halt to filter operations.
It enables a manual depressurization of the filter.
11.5 WASHING / RINSING / EMPTYING
11.5.1 RECOMMENDATIONS FOR WASHING / RINSING
Filter cleanliness conditions the following characteristics :
• Quality of filtered wines
• Filtration flow rate
• The microbiological aspect
Never wait for filter to clog before cleaning.
Depending on the nature of filtered wine, the filter clogs more or less quickly. The frequency of
automatic intermediate operations (with wine or water) during filtration must take this
phenomenom into account.
Intermediate rinsing operations are generally very efficient and delay in-depth clogging of the
filtration membranes.
• For relatively unchanging filter operating conditions (type of wine, rinsing frequency, etc),
we recommend at least a SHORT WASHING operation at the end of a day’s filtration.
• When the type of wine for filtering changes (e.g.: a switch from red to white wine), it is
obvious a filter washing operation will be required.
• Prior to a washing cycle, always proceed with a hot water rinsing cycle.
• Comply systematically with dosages recommended for washing products.
Efficacy is not generally increased when doses are increased.
41 / 64
After a filter washing cycle using washing products, CARRY OUT WITHOUT
FAIL a rinsing operatiion with water.
When water is emptying during the last rinsing operation prior to a filtration
cycle, check WITHOUT FAIL the total cleanliness of rinsing water (smell, taste,
etc.).
Clean the wine prefilter at every washing operation. Also, check the position
of the prefilter grids.

11.5.8 WASHING PRODUCTS
To retain full washing product efficacity, the water inputting the filter must not contain too great
a quantity of calcium, magnesium or iron salts, among others.
If necessary, use a water softener (refer to Chapter « PRODUCT FEEDING AND DRAINING ».
Check that the hot water temperature (normally 55°C) is compatible with the maximum
temperature of washing products .
Washing products are dangerous (acids, bases, etc.). Use products
recommended by Bucher Vaslin and SCRUPULOUSLY CARRY OUT the
precautions for use recommended by the distributors of these products.
Other products could be used, the most simple being soda (sodium hydroxide ).
Other alkaline, alkaline-chlorinated, acid and oxydizing products can be used.
Acid products (citric acid) are usually used for rinsing after an alkaline washing operation or for
prewashing when the filtered product contains much sugar.
Alkaline-chlorinated products are usually very effective although they cannot always be used
(where chlorine is present).
Some other oxidizing products based on hydrogen peroxide (oxygenated water) can be
effective, as a complement when alkaline washing is necessary.
The washing products distributor enables adding various products (citric acid, soda, chlorinated
or non-chlorinated products, hydrogen peroxide) to water during washing programs (LONG or
SHORT).
The dosages of the various products is achieved by entering the volume of the product to be
injected relative to the volume of tank water. The procedure for changing settings is described

To modify the settings, use the procedure detailed in paragraph 12.1.
Select the filtration settings, the screen displays :
QTY WINE TO FILTER
This information is important for it enables :
• Halting filtration when the programmed volume is reached.
• Detecting the bottom of the tank and automatically commanding filter rinsing.
• Identifying possible faults in the supply of wine for filtering.
To enable this, the programmed volume must be sufficiently precise. It must integrate possible
differences between the assumed volumes in tanks and the matching measurement made at the
filter flowmeter. Furthermore, the calculation of volumes made by the flowmeter could be
slightly upset by the CO2 content of filtered wines.
The operating screen in FILTRATION mode indicates the volumes for filtering and those already
filtered.
TYPE OF WINE
This parameter enables selecting the type of wine :
DIFFICULT WINE :Wine generally poorly clarified and little drawn off
Red wine (press wine)
Unprocessed wine
Young wine
Sweet wine
EASY WINE :
Wine drawn off several times or prefiltered
White wine
STANDARD WINE :All
other wines
RETURN
This parameter enables defining to which location back filtration rejects are returned (TUBE,
EXTERNAL VAT or MAIN VAT) .
Bucher Vaslin strongly recommends the following adjustments:
For EASY WINES: return to TUBE
For DIFFICULT WINES: return to EXTERNAL VAT
50 / 64
For EFFERVESCENT WINES: return to TUBE or MAIN VAT
This parameter also has an incidence when the filter carries out wine rinsing during filtration :
Return = EXTERNAL VAT: RETENTATE to lees
Return = MAIN VAT or TUBE: RETENTATE and PERMEATE to MAIN VAT
But also when the filter starts an end of filtration cycle (refer to paragraph 11.3.4).
FILTRATION END
This parameter enables selecting the WASHING - RINSING sequence that will be automatically
achieved at the end of the filtration program (LONG WASHING, SHORT WASHING or RINSING).
MAXIMUM TURBIDITY
This maximum value functions as a protective measure interrupting filter running in the event
of a failure in the filtration unit as a whole.
Avoid programming settings that are too low.
The maximum setting is 4 ntu.
To disable turbidity control, the setting 00.0 should be programmed.
For normal running, the turbidity of filtered wines is usually less than 1 ntu.
N.B. : To ensure correct turbidimeter functioning, it is recommended to adjust the
turbidimeter setting to between 1 and 2 ntu.
EXTERNAL VAT FILTRATION: YES / NO
This parameter is available only for Flavy FX 5 and Flavy FX 6 filters fitted with the option
« AUTOMATIC RESTART OF SECONDARY TANK ».
This parameter enables external tank filtration to be automatically started at the end of filtration

13 - Storing the Flavy FX filter between filtration
periods
Whatever the storage time, the filtration membranes must ALWAYS soak in
water. To do this, simply command a cold water rinsing operation.
Before any prolonged halt to filter running, carry out a complete washing operation and check
the filter is totally clean. For halts ranging from a few hours to a few days, simply fill the filter
with water by commanding COLD WATER RINSING after the washing operations.
For halts ranging form a few days to several months, it is recommended to add a sulfurous
solution (dissolved SO2) to the filter rinsing water.
Before re-using the filter, this water must be emptied and the various operations depending on
time and conditions of storage must be carried out.

13 - Storing the Flavy FX filter between filtration periods
56 / 64
14 - Flavy FX Filter maintenance
Before any intervention on the filter, make sure it is not live and cannot be
made live without you being aware of it (main isolating switch on O, locked in
position with padlock). Close off water, air and gas supplies, depressurize the
pneumatic circuit with the blow-off valve of the pressure reducer located under
the swirchbox.
14.1 FILTRATION MODULES
Between 2 periods of use, the filter must be stored with its filtration modules totally clean, filled
with water and, if necessary, with disinfectants added (refer to Chapter « STORING THE FLAVY
FX FILTER BETWEEN FILTRATION PERIODS ».
14.2 BACKWASHING SYSTEM
The backwash system is subject to wear and is not covered by the Bucher
Vaslin guarantee.
This system includes a flexible, deformable part that must be checked at least once a year to
make sure it is totally clean.
We advise you to have this inspection carried out by your Bucher Vaslin agent and to replace
the deformed parts AT LEAST once a year or every 1,200 hours of operation (whichever is first).
14.3 VALVES AND ELECTROVALVES
Check the tightness of valves and electrovalves once a year, especially the joints. In the event
of leaks, contact your Bucher Vaslin agent.
Change the seal joints once every 3 years.
14.4 PUMPS
The RESIDUE circuit (wine for filtering) circulating pump are fitted with packing seals ensuring
tightness between pump shells and the rotor. Change packing every year or every 2500 hours
of operation.
Contact your Bucher Vaslin agent.
57 / 64
14.5 PNEUMATIC CIRCUIT
The pressure reducers supplying high and low pressure air and gas are fitted with filters.
Clean these filters regularly (at least once a month)
Drain off condensates as soon as liquid appears in the pressure reducer bowls.
14.6 AUTOMATON / CONTROL PANEL
The filter’s various automatic functions are controlled by an automaton located in the
switchbox.
To prevent the filter from being disturbed by electricity power cuts, some data is saved by means
of a lithium battery. This life span of the battery is about 3 years.
When the message « BATTERY » displays on the screen, have the battery replaced by your
Bucher Vaslin agent.
As a precaution, we advise changing the battery every three years.
14.7 WATER FILTER
A
Disposable filter cartridge is located at hot and cold water
connection points of the filter.
Filtering cartridge must be changed as soon as dirt accumulation is
detected :
• Cartridge dirt accumulation causes a reduction of the rate of
flow of supply water. The time necessary to refill the filter
then increases abnormally.
• A 2rd method for the detection of cartridge dirt
accumulation can be based on the number of intermediate
rinsing operations, of washing operations, the volume
filtered or the number of filter working hours.
Whatever method is decided, the cartridges must be replaced as soon as dirt accumulation is
detected.
14.8 WATER PREFILTER (OPTION)
4 pressure gauges give readings on the
dirt accumulation in the cartridges.
If the pressure variation reaches 1 bar
between two pressure gauges, check the
cartidge located between the two pressure gauges.
If the pressure variation reaches 2 bars
between the first and last pressure gauge, check the cartidges.
58 / 64
14.9 WINE PREFILTER
The metallic prefilter fitted to the Flavy FX filter is a protective item
provided to hold back solid particles inadvertently swept along by the
wine-for-filtering. This prefilter will rapidly become saturated if the
wine-for-filtering contains suspended solid particles larger than 1 mm.
The prefilter must be washed every day.
To wash the prefilter, simply unscrew the DIN (1) union in order to
extract the prefilter (2).

The Flavy FX filter must never UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTRANCES be operated
without this safety device. In cases where this clause is not respected, Bucher
Vaslin refuses any responsibility involving consequences relative to
equipment and processed products.
14.10 COUPLINGS
Check coupling tightness every month.
Check the sealing joint of all couplings every year.
