Hi all,
We've been using a Pall Supradisc2 4x16 with k700 modules for a year with great success. 50 barrel batches.
We centrifuge, then send beer to the filter. Goes in a little hazy, comes out brilliant. Until recently.
We got a new batch of 700s and on the second run they barely pulled any haze out. Per Pall, were replaced them with tighter modules (K300) at $400 each.
First run on K300 showed very little haze reduction also. Called our sales guy and he recommended changing the gasket set in the housing. The current gaskets look fine, but we agreed to try it.
We ordered a new kit, just two little o-rings, a flat silicon gasket about two inches in diameter, and a little PTFE seat.
Here's the kicker: $350 AND EIGHT WEEKS OUT! WTF?
Does anyone have an alternate source for these or a recommendation on making them ourselves?
Pulling my hair out and looking at hazy beer while I do it.
