Superior Filtration Performance: With a 0.22 m filter rating and 99.99% efficiency, the Steri Pro PE Series stage exceptional results in critical filtration processes. The polyethersulfone (PES) membrane delivers consistent and high flow rates, accommodating up to 35 L/min, ideal for demanding applications across pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, and more.
Robust and Resilient Construction: Built with a polypropylene core and support structure, the cartridge ensures chemical compatibility and mechanical stability. Its encapsulated design, combined with thermal bonded sealing, allows operation at 5 bar pressure and up to 80C, making it suitable for rigorous liquid filtration environments.
Flexible Sterilization Methods: Sterilization can be performed using autoclave cycles or gamma irradiation, catering to diverse user protocols in laboratories or industrial settings. This capability ensures consistent aseptic performance and regulatory compliance.
FAQs of Steri Pro Pe Series Pes Membrane Filters:
Q: How are Steri Pro PE Series PES Membrane Filters typically used in industrial applications?
A: These filters are used for high purity liquid filtration in industries such as pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, food & beverage, chemical processing, and electronics. They efficiently remove particulates and microorganisms from water, buffer solutions, and biological fluids.
Q: What is the process for installing and operating these cartridge filters?
A: Installation involves placing the encapsulated cartridge with a 222/Flat end cap into a compatible housing. Ensure seals are intact and connect to the liquid system. Operate within 5 bar pressure limits and a maximum temperature of 80C for optimal performance.
Q: When should the Steri Pro PES Membrane Filter be replaced?
A: It is recommended to change out the filter when the pressure drop reaches 2.5 bar, as this indicates significant clogging and loss of flow efficiency. Periodic integrity tests, such as bubble point and diffusion tests, also help determine replacement timing.
Q: Where are these filters manufactured and supplied?
A: Steri Pro PE Series PES Membrane Filters are manufactured, exported, and supplied from India, serving customers globally across various industries.
Q: What sterilization methods are compatible with these filters?
A: These filters can be sterilized using autoclave cycles or gamma irradiation, allowing flexibility depending on facility protocols and requirements for aseptic conditions.
Q: How does the filter medium contribute to system safety and product quality?
A: The polyethersulfone membrane offers high chemical compatibility and thermal stability, ensuring reliable removal of contaminants without releasing fibers or extractables, thereby safeguarding sensitive processes and ensuring product purity.
