Trub-ex is a long fibred, very voluminous cellulose product, which can be used as a pressing aid for weak-structured mashes, or for sediment processing (especially small quantities).

• The specially prepared cellulose fibres have a high capacity to absorb liquid and improve pressability
• Sediment particles are retained in the cellulose’s internal structure, permitting a good degree of clarity
• The long and voluminous fibres cause the press cake to drain and therefore help to improve the cake structure
• For fruits with a low solids structure, problematic grape mashes and stored fruit which is very difficult to press
• significantly reduce the pressing time and increase the yield and degree of clarity

Dosage
1 - 3 kg Trub-ex are added to 100 kg mash or 100 L sediment depending on the proportion of liquid in the mash to be pressed, or sediment to be processed

Usage
Trub-ex is supplied in compressed balls of 10 kg each. Before use, the fibres are plucked from the balls and, if possible, should be primed in liquid first. The priming time is approx. 2 minutes. Priming makes it easier to introduce and mix the fibres. If priming is not possible or is inconvenient, the fibres can also be added direct to the mash or stirred into the sediment.

Storage
Trub-ex should be stored in a dry, odour-free place. Packs which have been opened should be immediately tightly sealed.

Disposal
Trub-ex is fully biodegradable (100 % biomass) and, depending on the sediment to be processed, can be disposed of in an environmentally friendly way, or composted.
