FOOD & BEVERAGE FILTERS

These filter cartridges have been designed to comply with all FDA requirements for the food and beverage industry.

Nominal, Depth Media Prefilters
These cartridges have been rinsed with 18 megohm-cm water to ensure that no manufacturing debris remains downstream to contaminate your product.  This washing also ensures that all extractables which may affect the taste of the product or other performance characteristics such as foaming and brightness are removed.

• FGD- Fiber Glass Depth Media (PDF*)
• FPD - Polypropylene Depth Media (PDF*)

The FGD is capable of removing particulates below the rated pore size of the filter.  Good filter for applications where chill haze is an issue and where “beverage brightness” is important.

Membrane Filters Used for Sterile Applications

• FPS- Polyethersulfone Membrane Media (PDF*)

Polyethersulfone is low protein binding and therefore a good choice for fermented beverage filtrations.

• FNM- Nylon Membrane Media (PDF*)

Nylon is particularly suited for water filtration.

ELECTRONICS & CHEMICAL FILTERS

These cartridges are designed to meet the special needs of the electronics and high purity chemical industries.  Each cartridge is power rinsed and flushed to ensure minimal extractables and no manufacturing debris:

• EPS grade Polyethersulfone Membrane Media Filter Cartridges (PDF)

Polyethersulfone membrane cartridges are resistant to most acids and bases and capable of handling oxidizing agents.  High flow rate makes Polyethersulfone a good choice for central DI water systems.

• ENM grade Nylon Membrane Media Filter Cartridges(PDF)

Able to remove particles below the rated pore size of the membrane, these cartridges exhibit superior retention.  Often used for DI water, photoresist, developers and other compatible chemicals.

• EPD grade Polypropylene Depth Media Filter Cartridges (PDF)

This cartridge produces minimal extractables when exposed to typical process chemical and solvents.

• EPM grade Polypropylene Membrane Media Filter Cartridges (PDF)

This cartridge produces minimal extractables when exposed to typical process chemicals and solvents.  These membrane cartridges should be used when absolute retention is essential for the process.

PHARMACEUTICAL FILTERS

These cartridge filters are manufactured for the specific needs of the Pharmaceutical industry:

• PTM grade Teflon Membrane Media Filter Cartridges (PDF*)
• PPM grade Polypropylene Membrane Media Filter Cartridges (PDF*)

These cartridges are designed for use in the filtration of aggressive solvents, and as compressed gas and vent filters.

• PGD grade Fiber Glass Depth Media Filter Cartridges (PDF*)

These high capacity cartridges are used in pre-filter applications as well as final filter applications where the goal is bioburdon reduction and not sterile product. The cartridge has the dual benefits of high containment holding as well as excellent retention.

• PPD grade Polypropylene Depth Media Filter Cartridges (PDF*)

These cartridges are designed to be used as pre-filters and non-sterilization grade filters in the pharmaceutical industry. Special attention was given in the design of these cartridges to ensure long life as well as superior retention.
Sterilizing Grade Cartridges:

• PPS grade Polyethersulfone Membrane Media Filter Cartridges(PDF*)

Polyethersulfone cartridges see broad service in the sterile fill applications in SVPs and Biological products. Polyethersulfone is particularly suited for the filtration of products whose constituents, such as preservatives, can absorb to the media. The lower binding characteristics of Polyethersulfone make it a good choice for filtration of valuable protein solutions such as vaccines and other biologicals.

• PNM grade Nylon Membrane Media Filter Cartridges (PDF*)

Nylon cartridges see broad service in sterile fill applications in SVPs and as bio burdon management filters in LVPs. Media and service liquid filtration are other common applications. Nylon is particularly suited for the filtration of solvents because of its broad compatibility and low level of extractables.

GENERAL PURPOSE
INDUSTRIAL FILTERS

These cartridges are designed for general purpose use wherever a cost effective filter is required:

• GTM grade Teflon Membrane Media Filter Cartridges (PDF*)

Typical applications include filtration of aggressive fluids, vent filtration, air and gas filtration. These cartridges are found in the manufacturing processes of Pharmaceutical companies, semi-conductor manufacturers and bulk chemical companies.

• GPM grade Polypropylene Membrane Media Filter Cartridges (PDF*)

GPM filters lower the cost of chemical/solvent filtration. GPM is often used in place of Teflon Membrane cause of lower cost and no undesirable extractables.

• GPS grade Polyethersulfone Membrane Media Filter Cartridges (PDF*)

Polyethersulfone membrane cartridges priced below special purpose cartridges. Still integrity testable, but with greater dirt holding capacity.

• GNM grade Nylon Membrane Media Filter Cartridges(PDF*)

Nylon Membrane cartridges capable of removing particles below the pleated pore size of the filter. Low level of extractables and excellent chemical compatibility with solvents.

• GGD grade Fiber Glass Depth Media Filter Cartridges (PDF*)

Fiber glass depth media cartridges flushed to remove manufacturing debris and individually integrity tested. Used in food, water and biological applications where heavy contamination loads plug other types of filters and maximum retention is required.

• GPD grade Polypropylene Depth Media Filter Cartridges (PDF*)

Designed to hold the maximum amount of filter media that can be completely and effectively utilized in a cartridge, these filters lower the cost of filtration. These cartridges are flushed with 17+ meg ohm-cm water to remove potential extraneous manufacturing debris. These cartridge modules are also individually tested.
