EPM.F4 Membrane Filter Cartridges (Air and Gas Filtration)
Description
Hydrophobic
cartridge filter elements having an absolute filtration rating for sterilizing
filtration of compressed gases, air and carbon dioxide in Medical, BioPharmaceutical, Food, Electronic and other industries. Filter
material
Pleated
hydrophobic membrane PTFE. Core, outer shell and end
parts: polypropylene having increased heat resistance. O-rings: silicon
(optionally Viton, fluorine rubber). Removal Ratings

Main
applications
-
Sterilizing filtration of
air and gases that enter into critical contact with the product
- in air supply systems
- in storage tanks to create
sterile breathing conditions
- upstream of filling
machines
- at the points of entry and
exit of bioreactors
-
Sterile filtration of
fermenters
-
Sterile blowout of
equipment
-
Filtration of liquid
aggressive media (acids, alkalies, solvents, process liquids) in the pH range 1
to 13

Characteristics
|
Advantages
for customers
|
|
Membrane
made of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)
|
Broad
chemical compatibility. Excellent heat resistance
|
|
Special
structure of the membrane
|
Excellent
filtration characteristics, comparable to those of the best world analogues
-
high flow rate and low
flow resistance
-
increased dirt holding
capacity and extended service life
|
|
High
strength of the filter element
|
Reliable
retention of integrity in severe operating conditions
Capable
of withstanding multiple sterilization cycles at 134°C
Complete
retention of bacteria and aerosol particles in compressed air and gas flows
Guaranteed
retention of integrity after numerous sterilization cycles
|
|
100%
integrity control
|
Integrity
control is performed in the ‘dry' mode for aerosol particles and in the ‘wet'
mode by the diffusion test. Guaranteed integrity and effective operation of
the device
