Product Description
PFP-B filters are designed for reliable and efficient filtration in critical applications within the Food & Beverage, Pharmaceutical, and Chemical industries. They utilize multilayer melt-blown polypropylene fiber for effective particle retention and are housed in robust cages suitable for various operational conditions, including sterilization.

Devices
The filters are available in a range of cartridges, facilitating easy scale-up from laboratory to production scale without the need for requalification due to consistent media and materials.

Compatibility
Constructed entirely from polypropylene using thermal welding, PFP-B filters offer broad chemical compatibility and can be chemically regenerated. This construction ensures minimal extractables.

Documentation
Manufactured under an ISO 9001 certified Quality Management System, PFP-B filters comply with EU regulations for food contact materials and meet CFR Title 21 requirements. A Validation Guide is available for regulatory compliance.

Regulatory Compliance
The filters meet USP standards for Total Organic Carbon and Water Conductivity, are non-fiber releasing, and have low bacterial endotoxin levels. They comply with food contact regulations and meet USP Biological Reactivity Test criteria.

Quality Assurance
Each filter cartridge comes with an electronic Certificate of Conformity, detailing test data and approvals. Manufacturing occurs in a controlled clean room environment meeting ISO 14644-1 Class 8 standards.

Flow Rate and Key Features
PFP-B filters offer high dirt holding capacity, absolute rated retention, repetitive backwash capability, and high flow with low pressure drop.

Applications
These filters are widely used in the Food & Beverage industry for tasks such as removal of filter aid, pre-filtration for membrane filters, and trap filtration in beer and wine production.
