12″ Cellulose Lenticular Depth Filter AF41(4-9 micron)
$182.00
FIBRAFIX® depth filter sheets have been developed for the use in non-critical applications. It is the standard series and therefore they can be used in different industries such as food and beverage industry, cosmetic industry, plant extracts and process water.
Material
– Purified and bleached cellulose
– Natural filter aid (kieselguhr, perlite)
– Cationic wet strength agent
Handling
Before filtration the filter package or module should be rinsed with 50 L/m² of clean water. Depending on the porosity and the application, the filter sheets get exhausted with increased differential pressure. The maximal differential pressure depends on the used filter sheet. For sterile filter sheets, the maximal differential pressure is lower than for coarse filter sheets. A maximal differential pressure of 2.5 bar is recommended for coarse filter sheets in the filter press and lenticular module filters. In case of alluvial filtration, the minimal flow rate is 350 L/m2×h. The sheets can be sterilized with hot water (85 °C) or inline steam (125 °C). Please refer to the special instructions for these purposes.
Quality assurance
The filter sheets are manufactured under controlled conditions, to guarantee the highest expectations in terms of quality and cleanliness. Measurement methods are described in the corresponding validation guide for filter sheets.
