Frequently Asked Questions
-
Q: What is the difference between PE and PP filter cartridges?
A: PE (polyethylene) offers better chemical resistance and lower extractables compared to PP (polypropylene). Our PE housing is specifically designed for food contact applications, ensuring minimal leaching. -
Q: Can this cartridge be used for hot water sterilization?
A: Yes, the PTFE membrane and PE housing can withstand temperatures up to 80°C. For hot water sanitization cycles, we recommend using an EPDM or Viton gasket. -
Q: Is the cartridge compatible with my existing filter housing?
A: The cartridge is available in standard 222/226 end cap configurations. Please provide your housing specifications, and we can recommend the correct adapter. -
Q: What is the typical lifespan of this cartridge?
A: Lifespan depends on feed water quality and flow rate. Under normal conditions, a 1-micron cartridge may last 3-6 months in beverage filtration. We recommend monitoring differential pressure for replacement. -
Q: Does the cartridge remove bacteria and viruses?
A: The 1-micron rating is effective for removing most bacteria and cysts (e.g., Cryptosporidium, Giardia). For virus removal, a finer filter (0.2 micron) may be required, which we can customize. -
Q: What certifications do you have?
A: Our cartridge complies with FDA 21 CFR 177.1520 and EU Regulation 10/2011 for food contact materials. We also have ISO 9001 quality management system certification (available upon request). -
Q: Can I get a sample before placing a bulk order?
A: Yes, we offer samples for testing. Please contact our sales team with your specific requirements. -
Q: What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
A: Standard MOQ is 50 pieces per size. For custom specifications, MOQ may vary. Contact us for details.
