For particle removal during clarification and an efficient prefilter for multiple applications.
FPD filters are constructed with pleated Polypropylene depth media and designed to comply with all FDA requirements for the food industry. FPD filters are used for wine and beer clarification, as well as prefiltering water, food ingredients, cosmetics, chemicals, air and gases. Pore sizes range from 0.10 to 100 µm and filter sizes scale from laboratory to full production using identical materials to ensure consistent results.
These cartridges have low extractables that may affect the taste of the product or other characteristics such as foaming or brightness. FPD filters have 99.9% retention efficiency at the rated pore size and are designed for high throughput because of our unique graded density construction. This design also allows for filter cleaning and re-use in some applications.
Applications
- Wine (clarification)
- Beer (clarification)
- Bottled Water
- Process Water
- Process Chemicals
- Air & Gases
