- Air and gas venting with hydrophobic membranes
Why Choose Boli Skeleton-Supported Filter Cartridge?
Our cartridge stands out due to its rugged construction and unmatched reliability. The skeleton support system not only enhances mechanical stability but also allows for a more compact design, making it ideal for retrofitting into existing filtration systems. Additionally, the use of advanced membrane technology ensures consistent retention of microorganisms, reducing the risk of contamination and batch failure.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
What is the difference between skeleton-supported and standard pleated filter cartridges?
Skeleton-supported cartridges have an internal rigid support structure (e.g., stainless steel or polypropylene) that reinforces the filter media. This prevents collapse under high differential pressure, extending cartridge life and maintaining filtration integrity compared to standard cartridges without support. -
Can this cartridge be used for both liquid and gas filtration?
Yes, depending on the membrane choice. Hydrophilic membranes are suitable for aqueous liquids, while hydrophobic membranes are designed for gas venting and air filtration. Please specify your application when ordering. -
Is the cartridge compatible with common pharmaceutical housings?
Absolutely. Our cartridges are available with standard end cap configurations (226, 222, flat, etc.) and seal materials (silicone, EPDM, Viton) to fit most industry-standard housings. Custom adapters can also be provided. -
How do you validate the 0.2μm sterile filtration performance?
Each batch is tested using a non-destructive bubble point test correlated with bacterial retention tests (LRV ≥ 7 for Brevundimonas diminuta). A certificate of conformance is provided with each shipment. -
What is the typical shelf life of this cartridge?
When stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, the shelf life is up to 3 years from the date of manufacture. The packaging is designed to maintain cleanliness. -
Can you provide custom lengths or diameters?
Yes, we offer customization for length, diameter, end cap, and seal material to meet specific requirements. Minimum order quantities may apply for non-standard sizes. Please contact our sales team for details. -
Does the cartridge require any pre-conditioning before use?
For optimal performance, we recommend flushing the cartridge with sterile water or the process fluid to remove any residual air and to wet the membrane. Refer to the product manual for detailed instructions.
