SMT filters provide safe, reliable and efficient bioburden control and sterilization of oxidizing, corrosive and aggresive liquids used in Food & Beverage, Pharmaceutical and Chemical industries. The filters effectively retain particles and micro-organisms through a single layer asymmetric, hydrophobic PTFE membrane, fully validated for bacterial retention. 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. It also meets criteria of USP Biological Reactivity Test for class VI-121°C plastics. Compatability SMT filters are completely made from polypropylene hardware utilizing thermal welding techniques to seal all the components thus optimizing device integrity, assuring a broad chemical compatibility with a large number 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 Hydrophobic PTFE membrane, integrity testable • Validated bacteria retention (0,2µm) • High flow and low pressure drop • Wide chemical compatibility • Hydrophilized PTFE capsule option (SMTi) Applications Thanks to its chemical compatibility SMT filters are widely used in Pharmaceutical, Cosmetics and Chemical Industries. • Sterilization of aggressive liquids • Absolute retention of particles and contaminants • Pre and final filtration of oxidizing liquids • Particle removal from solvents
