The FNMX Filter is constructed with absolute-rated Nylon 6,6 membrane and is engineered for the removal of bacteria, yeast, and mold in high-purity applications. Designed to comply with FDA food contact requirements, FNMX filters are optimized for non-fermenting liquids and water-based processes in beverage and food production.

Each filter is flushed to reduce extractables and undergoes 100% integrity testing. FNMX devices scale from lab to full production while maintaining consistent performance and material composition.

Key Features:

• Absolute-Rated Nylon 6,6 Membrane: Provides reliable microbial retention
• Low Extractables: Minimizes interference with taste and quality
• FDA & EC Compliant: Safe for food and beverage contact
• Scalable Design: Identical materials used across all sizes
• Integrity Tested: Each filter is 100% tested before shipment
