Becogur® Diatomaceous Earth

Becogur® Diatomaceous Earth – High-Performance Filter Aid for Beverages

Becogur® Diatomaceous Earth from Eaton is a high-quality filter aid for clarifying wine, must, beer, fruit juices, and other liquids. The diatomaceous earth is obtained from fossil diatoms and is characterized by its porous structure and high filtration performance.

Targeted particle size classification creates various fineness grades, allowing for optimal adaptation to turbidity load and filtration objectives. Becogur® is largely free of non-filtering components such as fine dust and quartz sand and complies with applicable German, EU, and FDA regulations.

Variants

• BECOGUR® 100E – High-purity diatomaceous earth for reliable fine filtration.
• BECOGUR® 200 (fine) – Highest clarification sharpness for fine filtration
• BECOGUR® 1200 (medium fine) – Good clarification effect with high flow rate
• BECOGUR® 3500 (coarse) – Ideal for highly turbid liquids and pre-coat filtration
• BECOGUR® 4500 – Coarse diatomaceous earth for high-performance pre-filtration.

Advantages at a Glance

• High clarification performance due to special particle size distribution
• Rapid build-up of a stable filter cake
• Optimal balance between flow rate and filtration sharpness
• High dirt-holding capacity
• Harmless according to German, EC, and FDA regulations

Area of Application
