Reduce your environmental impact by harnessing Pall’s latest technology.
Since 1946, Pall has pushed the limits of science and technology to solve the most complex filtration, separation and purification challenges. The Oenoflow PRO XL System was built to help wineries achieve two important goals:
- Reduce energy usage to support goals for net zero carbon emissions
- Reduce water usage given considerable water shortages experienced in many regions
Data shows significant reductions in both energy and water usage of up to 60% with Oenoflow PRO XL when compared to traditional Oenoflow systems.
Oenoflow PRO XL systems are specifically designed to meet the needs and requirements of mid-sized and large wineries. Clarification is achieved in a single process step without the need for filter aids, centrifugation or significant impact on the organoleptic characteristics of the wine. By increasing yields, reducing waste volumes and maintaining more consistent filtrate quality, the fully automated systems provide a cost saving sustainable alternative to traditional wine clarification methods.
The systems utilize Pall’s proven hollow fiber membranes with unique mechanical strength and excellent chemical resistance which allow high productivity and repeated exposure to aggressive cleaning regimes. The large surface area modules enable manufacture of compact systems with low water and chemical consumption in line with winery conservation programs.
The Oenoflow PRO XL system introduces Pall’s new Optimizer algorithm which automatically adjusts system settings in real time based on the wine’s individual physical and chemical characteristics.
With this highly enhanced performance, wineries with the new Oenoflow PRO XL system can realize savings in all OPEX categories when compared to traditional Oenoflow systems.
These optimized settings replace standard settings that are not efficient for every production cycle. The Oenoflow PRO Optimizer algorithm learns and adjusts settings to help wineries get the best results from each filtration.
With the Oenoflow PRO system’s advanced automation and ease of use, customers can expect fewer operator errors and eliminate the performance variability between operators.
Oenoflow PRO with Optimizer even allows new operators to manage the system at full efficiency on their first day by harnessing the global filtration experience of Pall coupled with the ease of use of the new Oenoflow PRO system software.
The Oenoflow PRO system is composed of 4 main components:
The Oenoflow PRO System runs Pall’s new Optimizer algorithm and is connected to Pall servers via a secure connection.
- The Optimizer algorithm receives updates via remote connection, but the system will continue to operate if the connection is interrupted.
- The Optimizer algorithm adjusts all filtration related system settings; the user only needs to input some limited batch information at the start of filtration.
- The algorithm can easily be enabled or disabled by the user at any time.
IOS and Android Oenoflow PRO apps are available and will connect to the customer’s Oenoflow PRO system(s).
- Multiple user levels assignable by winery’s “Supervisor” role for site specific access control
- Push notifications for alarms and status updates
- Live data view for real time visualization of production data and for remote diagnosis

- Storage of manuals, spare parts lists and service contacts.
- Service event history entry
- Customer managed system document storage for items such as audit reports, customer SOP’s etc
New HMI (Human Machine Interface) for simplified operation and consistency with Oenoflow PRO app and dashboard appearance
Summary:
- Executives/managers can track water and energy use for each system, each winery or for the entire winery group as needed. The Oenoflow PRO system simplifies operations by aggregating data from each machine into customer specific dashboard.
- Production supervisors can access data in the dashboard and download reports showing the filtration history of each machine, including rinse verification recorded by the included conductivity meter.
- Operators can use the new Oenoflow PRO system’s mobile or desktop app to view live production status, volume remaining to be filtered and alarms. This will allow them more freedom to perform other duties while operating the Oenoflow PRO system. The HMI screen on the Oenoflow PRO system itself is also updated further enhancing ease of use.
- Maintenance personnel can use the new Oenoflow PRO mobile or desktop app to access manuals, spare parts lists, service records and even request a service visit from Pall technicians.
- Pall technicians can start remote diagnosis of system issues as soon as they are notified. This saves significant time and may in some cases completely avoid the need for an on-site visit.
1. For current customers who already own an Oenoflow XL-A or XL-S system, please contact a Pall representative for details on how to upgrade the existing unit.
2. Reductions in energy and water use are based on prior experiences and should not be used to predict future performance.
