Sterile Air Filters
Why you need sterile air filters
Sterile air filters reduce batch contamination, spoilage and product loss, effective sterile air filtration is a necessary part of your process. Especially important in the food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries, sterile air filtration protects your product from harmful submicron particle contamination and bacterial transfer or growth.
It also helps protect production yield, especially in high-tech industries (electronics, plating, magnetic media, etc.) where submicron particle contamination can significantly reduce yields, resulting in product and dollar loss. The use of high efficiency submicron air filters have become a standard "current good manufacturing practice" allowing for more productive and economical processing.
MicroPure Segmented Sterile Air Filters feature a patented design that offers significant advantages over conventional filter cartridges.
Self-sealing PTFE membranes with a 0.1 micron retention efficiency for air are sandwiched between perforated stainless steel segments within an stainless steel housing. The independently functioning modular segments are clamped together by a stainless steel tension rod that provides continued support upstream and downstream of the filter membrane. The required cartridge length and diameter are determined by your application.
Unlike conventional pleated cartridges that degrade with each sterilization, MicroPure filters can be steam sterilized in place up to 150 times with no loss of filtering effectiveness, as validated by an internationally recognized food laboratory. Other sterilization or cleaning methods commonly used are autoclave, hydrogen peroxide, steam, or a variety of sanitizing agents.*
