The grade of DS-V (ДС-В) filter holder is selected depending on flow rate
and pressure in the filtration system.
Filter holders for liquid filters
Technofilter
presents DS-5 and DS-8 (ДС-5 and ДС-8) filter holders (NEW
series) made of 12Kh18N10T (12Х18Н10Т)
stainless steel.
Features
?
High-quality finishing of inner and outer surfaces
?
Easy access to internal cavities for visual inspection and washing
? No
hidden or hard-to-reach cavities owing to extra lightweight spacer
? No
stagnant zones
?
Complete evacuation of liquid through drain valve
?
Increased accuracy and finishing of nests for adaptors and of surfaces for
sealing parts ensure high impermeability of boundaries between the feed, the
filtrate and the outer environment
?
Simplified on-site assembly owing to hinged connection of pipe sockets to the
base. The filter holder is provided with pressure gages for monitoring of flow
resistance.

equipment, control valves, piping, etc) and are ready for operation.
"Absolute-quality"
automatically controlled systems "Absolute-quality"
automatically controlled systems (UPF.A/УПФ.А) intended for final filtration
before filling enjoy special popularity with customers at distillery and
wine-making plants.
The
standard system is based on a 2-stage filtration concept. The systems can be
additionally provided with a filter unit for preparation of service media. The
systems vary in the set of components (selected options) and the degree of
automation. Everything depends on the beverage to be filtered and individual
requirements of the customer.
