Corrugated Filter Element for Pharmaceutical Filtration, 0.2 Micron, 316L SS, Sanitary Tri-Clamp Ends
Product Spotlights
Anping County Boli Hardware Wiremesh Products Factory (established in 1998) presents our premium Corrugated Filter Element for Pharmaceutical Filtration. Engineered with 0.2 micron absolute filtration precision, this element is constructed from high-grade 316L stainless steel (SS) and features sanitary tri-clamp ends for quick, hygienic installation. Designed to meet the rigorous demands of pharmaceutical, biotech, and food processing industries, our filter element delivers consistent particle removal, long service life, and easy cleanability. With over two decades of manufacturing expertise and an annual export value exceeding US$5 million, we ensure each product meets international quality standards.
The corrugated (pleated) design maximizes surface area, allowing higher flow rates and longer service intervals compared to standard depth filters. The 0.2 micron rating ensures removal of bacteria, yeast, and other submicron contaminants, critical for sterile filtration applications. The 316L stainless steel material offers excellent corrosion resistance, withstands repeated steam sterilization (SIP), and is fully compatible with CIP (Clean-in-Place) protocols.
Key Features & Benefits
- 0.2 Micron Absolute Filtration: Ensures removal of microorganisms and particulate matter, meeting pharmaceutical sterile filtration requirements.
- 316L Stainless Steel Construction: High corrosion resistance, non-shedding, and compatible with aggressive chemicals and high temperatures.
- Sanitary Tri-Clamp Ends: Quick disconnect, leak-proof, and easy to install in existing sanitary piping systems.
- Corrugated Pleated Design: Large filtration area (up to 3x compared to standard cylindrical filters) reduces pressure drop and extends service life.
- Electropolished Surface Finish: Ra ≤ 0.8 μm minimizes particle adhesion and facilitates thorough cleaning.
- Steam Sterilizable (SIP): Can withstand repeated in-line steam sterilization cycles up to 150°C (302°F).
- Wide Compatibility: Suitable for pharmaceutical liquids, gases, water for injection (WFI), buffer solutions, and fermentation processes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What is the difference between your corrugated filter element and a standard pleated filter?
A: Corrugated design refers to the shape of the pleats – they are formed in a zigzag pattern that increases the effective filtration area. This allows higher flow rates and longer service life compared to standard cylindrical pleated filters of the same dimensions.
Q2: Can this filter element be sterilized by autoclaving or steam-in-place?
A: Yes, the 316L SS construction can withstand repeated steam sterilization (SIP) at 150°C (302°F) for 30 minutes. Autoclaving is also possible. However, ensure the gaskets/O-rings are compatible with steam (silicone or EPDM recommended).
Q3: What is the typical pressure drop across the element at 0.2 micron?
A: The clean pressure drop depends on flow rate, viscosity, and element length. For water at 20°C, a 10-inch element at 10 L/min typically has a pressure drop of 0.2–0.5 bar. We provide detailed curves upon request.
Q4: Are tri-clamp gaskets included?
A: Gaskets are not included by default, but we can supply silicone, EPDM, or PTFE gaskets upon request. Please specify your requirements when ordering.
Q5: Can you provide certificates of compliance or material test reports?
A: Yes, we can provide material test reports (MTR) for 316L SS, as well as a certificate of compliance. Additional documentation such as surface finish reports or bubble point test results are available upon request.
Q6: What is your minimum order quantity (MOQ) for custom sizes?
A: For standard lengths (10", 20", 30", 40"), MOQ is 10 pieces. For custom lengths or special end connections, MOQ is 50 pieces. We can negotiate based on the project volume.
Q7: How long is the lead time?
A: For standard elements, lead time is 10–15 working days. Custom orders typically require 20–30 working days, depending on complexity.
Q8: Do you ship worldwide?
A: Yes, we ship from Tianjin, Qingdao, Shanghai, or Foshan ports. We have experience exporting to North America, Europe, South America, Africa, Oceania, and Asia. FOB, CIF, and EXW terms are available.
