PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Sterilizing-Grade Hydrophobic ePTFE Pleated Filter Cartridge for Container purge air and Aseptic packaging air. Its construction, retention rating and operating limits are the same as the base model PT56SPBRJF.

If you are considering this product for Container purge air and Aseptic packaging air, confirm process-fluid compatibility, retention rating, operating conditions and any sterilization or sanitization requirements before ordering.

Sterilizing-grade hydrophobic expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) filter cartridges undergo 100% factory integrity testing to ensure absolute bacterial and viral retention in critical gas and liquid applications.

Constructed with an advanced single-layer ePTFE membrane, this filter features an optimized pleated architecture that provides an increased effective filtration area, delivering exceptional gas throughput and superior liquid flux at minimal differential pressure drops with extremely low extractables.

KEY FEATURES

  • Intrinsic Permanent Hydrophobicity: Prevents membrane wet-out from moisture in air/gas streams, ensuring high flow rates and continuous sterility.
  • 100% Individually Integrity Tested: Verified by water intrusion test (WIT) or aerosol/bubble point testing to ensure absolute sterilizing efficiency.
  • Extreme Chemical Inertness: Unaffected by aggressive solvents, strong acids, bases, and aggressive oxidizers across a broad operating envelope.
  • Compact High-Area Architecture: Optimized mini pleated design maximizes dirt-holding capacity and flow performance in space-constrained installations.
  • High Thermal & Mechanical Endurance: Fully withstands repeated in-situ steam sterilization (SIP), autoclaving, and high-temperature gas venting.
