Sterilizing-grade filters for the sterile filtration of gases
Short Description:
Hydrophobic cartridge filters provide high flow rate and minimal differential pressure. Cartridges are robust, strong, and resilient and are designed to withstand multiple steam-in-place cycles. Each cartridge filter is integrity tested during the manufacturing process.
A full range of filtration areas is available to suit varying applications and a variety of connection options are offered for easy adaptation to existing housings.
Key Features
◇ Highly safe sterilization, ensuring 100% filter efficiency in humid environment during gas
filter, 0.2um filter rating in liquid, for gas filter, single layer: < Φ0.01μm; double layer: < 0.003μmΦ;
◇ Strong hydrophobicity, passing water intrusion test, avoiding residues due to the integrity of solvent wetting test;
◇ Single- or double-layer; large filter area, small pressure difference, large throughput, long service life;
◇ Excellent chemical compatibility, endurable to acid, alkali, and organic solvent;
◇ Cartridge independently numbered, production batch traceable;
◇ Passing 100% integrity test, quality safe and reliable;
Typical Applications
◇ Pre-filtering gases of storage tanks, respirators, and ferment tanks sterilization;
◇ Sterilization of solvents such as esters, alcohols, acids, and alkalis particle filtering;
◇ Sterilization and filtering of compressed air or gases in medicine and food industries;
