Detailed Product Advantages
- Enhanced Food Safety: The 1.0μm absolute rating effectively removes spoilage organisms and particulates, extending shelf life of beverages like juice, beer, wine, and soft drinks.
- Chemical Resistance: PTFE handles aggressive chemicals and cleaning agents, allowing rigorous CIP (Clean-in-Place) cycles without degradation.
- Low Extractables: Pre-washed PTFE membrane minimizes leaching of contaminants, preserving taste and purity of the product.
- High Flow Rate: Optimized pleat geometry ensures low pressure drop, reducing energy consumption in your filtration system.
- Durable Construction: 304 stainless steel end caps provide mechanical strength and can be reused even after multiple cartridge replacements (by replacing only the media core).
- Customizable Options: Available in different lengths (20″, 30″, 40″) and end cap configurations (DOE, 222/226 O-rings, flat gaskets) upon request.
FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions
-
Q: What is the typical service life of this cartridge in food & beverage applications?
A: Depending on feed water quality and operating conditions, the cartridge can last 6–12 months. Regular backwashing or cleaning can extend its life. We recommend replacing when differential pressure exceeds 2.0 bar. -
Q: Is this cartridge suitable for hot-fill beverages?
A: Yes, the PTFE membrane can withstand continuous temperatures up to 80°C, making it suitable for hot-fill processes up to that limit. For higher temperatures, please consult our technical team. -
Q: Can the 304 stainless steel end caps be autoclaved?
A: Absolutely. The end caps are fully autoclavable at 121°C for 30 minutes. Repeated sterilization cycles do not affect their integrity. -
Q: Does this cartridge comply with FDA or EU food contact regulations?
A: Our PTFE membrane and end caps are manufactured from materials that meet FDA 21 CFR 177.1550 and EU Regulation 10/2011 (Plastics). We can provide a declaration of compliance upon request. -
Q: What is the difference between a 1.0μm absolute and nominal rating?
A: Our cartridge has an absolute rating of 1.0μm, meaning it captures 99.99% of particles of that size or larger. Nominal ratings are less stringent. This makes our cartridge ideal for critical applications like sterile filtration. -
Q: Can I use this cartridge for filtering viscous liquids like syrup?
A: Yes, but the high viscosity may reduce flow rate. We recommend using a pre-filter (e.g., 5–10 μm) to extend the cartridge life. For thick syrups, consider a larger surface area cartridge (e.g., 20-inch). -
Q: How should I store unused cartridges?
A: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep the original packaging sealed. Avoid temperatures above 40°C. Shelf life is 3 years from date of manufacture. -
Q: Do you offer sample testing before bulk purchase?
A: Yes, we provide free samples (shipping cost covered by buyer) for evaluation. Contact our sales team to arrange a trial with your specific liquid.
