Sintered Titanium Rod Cartridge for Pharmaceutical Filtration, 0.2um Sterile Grade, Atex Compliant
Product Spotlights
Anping County Boli Hardware Wiremesh Products Factory (established in 1998) is a professional manufacturer specializing in sintered metal filtration solutions. With an annual export value of US$5-10 million and serving markets across North America, Europe, Asia, and beyond, we bring decades of expertise to the pharmaceutical industry. Our Sintered Titanium Rod Cartridge is designed for critical sterile filtration, offering a 0.2 μm absolute pore size that meets sterile grade requirements while maintaining ATEX compliance for safe operation in explosive environments. This cartridge combines high permeability, chemical resistance, and mechanical strength, making it ideal for the most demanding pharmaceutical processes.
The titanium construction ensures excellent corrosion resistance against aggressive solvents, acids, and alkalis, while the sintered porous structure provides a uniform pore distribution for consistent filtration performance. The 0.2 μm rating guarantees the removal of bacteria, yeast, and particulate contaminants, achieving sterile filtrate quality. ATEX compliance means the cartridge can be safely used in Zone 0, 1, or 2 hazardous areas where flammable liquids or gases are present, reducing risk in pharmaceutical manufacturing lines.
Key Features & Technical Specifications
- Material: High-purity titanium powder (ASTM B348 Grade 2), sintered at high temperature to form a robust porous structure.
- Filtration Efficiency: 99.99% removal of particles ≥0.2 μm, meeting sterile grade standards (e.g., HIMA, FDA guidelines).
- ATEX Classification: II 2G Ex h IIC T6 Gb (for gas) and II 2D Ex h IIIC T85°C Db (for dust) – suitable for hazardous locations.
- Reusable: Can be cleaned by backwashing, ultrasonic cleaning, or chemical regeneration, reducing replacement costs.
- High Flow Rate: Open porosity of 40-50% ensures low pressure drop while maintaining high dirt-holding capacity.
- Temperature Resistance: Operates from -200°C to 300°C, allowing steam sterilization (SIP) at 134°C.
- Customizable Dimensions: Available in lengths from 10 to 40 inches, diameters from 60 to 100 mm, and various end cap configurations.

The Sintered Titanium Rod Cartridge offers superior performance in pharmaceutical applications such as sterile filtration of injectables, antibiotics, vitamins, and biopharmaceutical intermediates. Its robust mechanical integrity allows it to withstand repeated steam sterilization cycles without degradation, unlike polymer-based filters. The titanium structure is also non-shedding, preventing fiber or particle release into the filtrate – a critical requirement for sterile processing.
Compared to ceramic or stainless steel filters, titanium provides a unique combination of lightweight, high strength, and excellent corrosion resistance. The sintered rod design enables a large filtration area within a compact cartridge, optimizing space in filter housings. Additionally, the ATEX-compliant construction ensures that the cartridge can be used in potentially explosive atmospheres common in pharmaceutical drying, solvent recovery, and powder handling areas.
Customer Benefits
- Reduced Downtime: Reusable design with simple cleaning procedures extends service life 3-5 times longer than disposable filters.
- Lower Total Cost of Ownership: Despite higher initial investment, the long-term savings from replacement and disposal costs are significant.
- Consistent Quality: Uniform pore structure ensures repeatable filtration performance batch after batch.
- Regulatory Compliance: Meets cGMP, FDA, and ATEX guidelines for pharmaceutical manufacturing.
- Versatility: Suitable for both liquid and gas filtration, including sterile air venting and solvent polishing.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
Q: What is the typical lifespan of this cartridge?
A: With proper cleaning, the cartridge can last 2-5 years depending on the application and cleaning frequency. The titanium structure is highly durable and resists chemical attack. -
Q: Can this cartridge be sterilized in place (SIP)?
A: Yes, it withstands repeated steam sterilization cycles at 134°C for 30 minutes without performance loss. The ATEX rating also ensures safety during SIP in classified areas. -
Q: Is the 0.2 μm rating absolute or nominal?
A: It is absolute. The cartridge is designed to retain 100% of particles ≥0.2 μm, validated by bubble point testing per ASTM F316. -
Q: What ATEX classification does it hold?
A: The cartridge is compliant with ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU for use in gas Group IIC (hydrogen, acetylene, etc.) and dust Group IIIC, temperature class T6 (85°C surface) for gases and T85°C for dusts. Specific classification depends on the housing and installation environment. -
Q: Can I get custom dimensions?
A: Absolutely. We offer lengths from 10 to 40 inches, diameters from 60 to 100 mm, and various connection types. Please provide your requirements for a tailored solution. -
Q: How do I clean the cartridge?
A: Acceptable cleaning methods include backwashing with clean water or solvent, ultrasonic cleaning, and chemical cleaning with dilute acids (e.g., nitric acid). Avoid strong bases that may attack titanium. A detailed cleaning protocol is provided with each order. -
Q: Does the cartridge come with a certificate of compliance?
A: Yes, we provide a Certificate of Conformance for material, pore size, and ATEX compliance. Third-party testing reports are available upon request. -
Q: What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
A: For standard sizes, the MOQ is 10 pieces. For custom designs, please contact our sales team for a quote – we can accommodate small quantities for prototyping.
