SME filters provide safe, reliable and efficient bioburden control and sterilization of valuable liquids used in Food & Beverage, Pharmaceutical and Chemical industries.
The filters effectively retain particles and micro-organisms through a single layer asymmetric, hydrophilic PES membrane characterized by low extractable and protein binding. The filter media with support layers is integrated into a robust cage or housing making it suitable for nearly all operation, service and cleaning conditions. The product complies with food contact regulation 21 CFR §177 - 182 and (EC) No 1935/2004 and subsequent amendments.
Compatability
SME filter's hardware is completely made from polypropylene utilizing thermal welding techniques to seal all the components thus optimizing device integrity, thus assuring a broad chemical compatibility with a large nμmber of solvents, acids and bases. Polypropylene is a highly chemically resistant material, enabling the filters to be chemically regenerated. The all polypropylene construction guarantees a small extractable footprint.
Key Features
• Wide range of ratings and devices
• Low extractable and protein binding.
• Thermally bonded: no surfactants or binders
• 100% integrity tested
Applications
Thanks to its chemical compatibility SME filters are widely used in Food & Beverage, Pharmaceutical, Cosmetics and Chemical Industries.
• Retention of particles and micro-organisms in liquids
• Bioburden control and sterilization
• Edible liquids: bottled water, beer, wine, spirits, juices, softdrinks, non-carbonated drinks, etc.
• Non-edible liquids: water, serμms, formulations, WFI,aggressive solvents, chemicals, etc.
