FCWPS Capsule Filters High Capacity PES Membrane Applications Wine Process Water Clean in Place Solutions Aseptically Packaged Liquids Bottled Water FCWPS capsule filters are hydrophilic and manufactured with high capacity polyethersulfone (PES) membrane. The proprietary membrane casting process creates a thick membrane with high contaminant holding capacity, excellent retention characteristics and high flow rates. E xcellent flow rates with excellent retention characteristics Remove organic contaminants from wine, beer, bottled water High capacity PES membrane is particularly suited for the filtration of products that contain elements that can adsorb to media, such as flavor elements and proteins. The lower binding characteristics of PES avoid adsorption and make it a good choice for filtration of beer and wine. P rotect processes by removing organic contaminants from water, CIP solutions Low product adsorption to preserve flavor FCWPS Capsule Filters - Filtration Area Capsule Length High Capacity PES Membrane Flow Rate / Filtration Area The following table represents typical water flow at a one psi (69 mbar) pressure differential across a single 2 inch capsule with 1.0 ft² (930 cm²) of media with 1/2” FNPT ports. The test fluid is water at ambient temperature. Higher pressure drops are acceptable, but as flows increase the pressure drop of the housing becomes more apparent. 0.22 μm Pore Size * For approximate flow rates for 5” through 30” capsules, refer to the appropriate cartridge data sheet Construction Materials Maximum Operating Parameters Liquid Operational Pressure Filtration Media High Capacity Polyethersulfone (PES) Membrane Gases Operational Pressure Operating Temperature Media Support Forward Differential Pressure 50 psid (3.4 bard) at 20 °C (68 °F) Center Core Reverse Differential Pressure Outer Support Cage Sealing Method Thermal Bonding Recommended Changeout Pressure Food and Beverage Grade FCWPS capsules are used to remove organic and other contamination in the critical clarification and filling filtration processes for wine, beer, bottled water and aseptically packaged products. FCWPS capsules also see service in removing organic and other contaminants from process water and clean in place solutions used in piping and other systems.

All Critical Process Filtration capsule filters are designed to meet the FDA requirements for processing food and beverage products. The materials used to construct food & beverage grade filters are listed by the FDA as appropriate for use in articles intended for repeated food contact as specified in Title 21 CFR sections 174.5, 177.1500, 177.1520, 177.1630, 177.2440 and 177.2600 as appropriate. Membrane filters comply with Title 21 CFR sections 210.3 (b)(6) and 211.72, for non-fiber releasing filters All materials used to make the filters are listed in European Commission Regulation EU/10/2011,...
