CUNO Incorporated

Food & Beverage

CUNO is a world leader in the design, manufacture, and marketing of a comprehensive line of filtration products for the separation, clarification, and purification of food and beverage products. Some of CUNO's innovative solutions are:

In 1973, CUNO patented Zeta Plus® depth filter sheets to meet the changing need of the beverage industry. Zeta Plus cartridges, capsules, and filter sheets provide a range of solutions and alternatives to the high cost of a filter press.

In 1995, CUNO patented a new, extremely durable microporous nylon membrane that withstands repeated hot water sanitization cycles-common practice in the food & beverage industries. This membrane is used in the BevASSURE™ line of filter cartridges to ensure microbiological stability and eliminate the need for pasteurization.

From beer to wine, bottled water to soft drinks, CUNO supplies innovative, cost effective filtration and separation solutions for tough food & beverage applications.
