Polyethylene Membrane Filter Element for Food and Beverage Filtration, 0.45 Micron, FDA Compliant Material
Product Spotlights
Welcome to Anping County Boli Hardware Wiremesh Products Factory – a trusted manufacturer since 1998 with an annual export value exceeding US$5 million. Our Polyethylene Membrane Filter Element (0.45 Micron, FDA Compliant Material) is specifically engineered for the demanding requirements of food and beverage filtration. Made from high-purity polyethylene, this filter element delivers consistent microbial removal, clarity improvement, and particle retention without compromising taste or safety. Whether you are a brewery, juice processor, or bottled water producer, this cartridge offers a cost-effective, reliable solution to meet your production standards.
The 0.45 micron pore size ensures fine filtration, removing suspended solids, bacteria, and yeast cells while allowing essential flavors and nutrients to pass through. The FDA-compliant material guarantees non-toxic, odorless, and tasteless performance, making it ideal for direct contact with consumable liquids. With a robust polyethylene construction, the element resists chemical attack, withstands repeated steam sterilization, and maintains structural integrity under high flow rates.
Key Features & Technical Specifications
- High Flow Rate: Optimized pleating design provides large filtration area, reducing pressure drop and energy consumption.
- FDA Compliant Material: All components are made from FDA-approved raw materials (21 CFR 177.1520) – no leaching, no off-flavors.
- 0.45 Micron Absolute Rating: Achieves 99.9% removal of particles >0.45 µm, including common spoilage microorganisms.
- Wide Chemical Compatibility: Resistant to acids, alkalis, alcohols, and most food-grade sanitizers (pH range 2–12).
- Thermal Stability: Operates continuously up to 80°C (176°F) and can be steam sterilized in situ at 121°C for 30 minutes.
- Standard Sizes: Available in 10, 20, 30, and 40 inch lengths with industry-standard end caps (DOE, 222/226 O-ring, flat cap).
- Low Extractables: Pre-flushed to minimize TOC and ion release, meeting stringent beverage industry standards.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
Q: What is the difference between 0.45 micron and 0.2 micron elements?
A: 0.45 micron is typically used for clarification, yeast removal, and general fine filtration. 0.2 micron is for sterilization (bacterial removal). Our 0.45 micron element is ideal for wine, beer, and juice where you want to keep beneficial compounds while removing spoilage organisms. -
Q: Can this filter element be used for hot-fill applications?
A: Yes, the polyethylene membrane can withstand continuous temperatures up to 80°C. For hot-fill processes (e.g., juice at 85°C), we recommend confirming with our technical team – a higher temperature version may be available. -
Q: Is the element compatible with CIP (Clean-in-Place) chemicals?
A: Yes, it is resistant to common CIP agents such as 1% NaOH, 0.5% HNO3, and peracetic acid at recommended concentrations. Always rinse after chemical exposure. -
Q: Do you provide certificates of compliance or FDA documentation?
A: Yes, we can provide a material compliance statement confirming FDA 21 CFR 177.1520. Additional test reports (bubble point, flow curve) are available upon request. -
Q: What end cap configurations are available?
A: Standard options include double open end (DOE), 222 O-ring, 226 O-ring, and flat cap (with or without gasket). Custom end caps can be developed for large orders. -
Q: How should I store the filter elements?
A: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep in original packaging. Avoid temperatures above 50°C. Shelf life is typically 3 years from manufacture date. -
Q: Can I get a sample before placing a bulk order?
A: Absolutely. We offer sample pieces (1–2 units) with freight collect. Contact our sales team to arrange. -
Q: What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
A: For standard sizes, MOQ is 50 pieces per size. For customized versions, MOQ may be 200 pieces. We can discuss flexibility for trial orders.
