A new era of wine filtration by Bucher Vaslin

For more than a decade, Bucher Vaslin has led the field in high-solids processing, with the X-Treme range transforming how wineries handle juice, wine lees, bentonite, carbon and other key fractions. That leadership continues with the introduction of the Flavy FGCM - an innovative tangential filtration system designed specifically for musts and wines with high solids. Our recent work with Soave and other white wine varieties showed how effectively FGCM maintains clarity and aromatic integrity, even when solids loading is high.

Recently recognised with a nomination at the prestigious SITEVI Innovation Awards, Flavy FGCM represents a significant step forward in process efficiency. Drawing on the proven performance of both Flavy FGC and X-Treme technologies, it eliminates the need for settling and racking, streamlining workflows while safeguarding product quality.

FGCM brings together the strengths of Flavy FGC and X-Treme technologies to deliver a new benchmark in high-solids filtration for musts and wines.

✔ Eliminates settling and racking

✔ Up to 2000 hL/day of must & 3000-4000 hL/day of wine

✔ Fully automated + remote monitoring

✔ 30% less water use

✔ Lower operating costs & reduced cellar workload

Flavy FGCM reinforces Bucher Vaslin’s long-standing commitment to delivering robust, practical innovations that give producers more control, more efficiency, and more value from every vintage.
