FCWPS Cartridge Filters High Capacity PES Membrane Applications Wine Soft Drinks Bottled Water Clean-in Place Solutions Process Water Outside Diameter Filtration Area Maximum Operating Parameters FCWPS Filter Cartridges have been designed to comply with all FDA requirements for the food industry. FCWPS cartridges are hydrophilic and manufactured with high capacity polyethersulfone (PES) membrane. They are used to remove organic and other contamination as part of the critical clarification and filling filtration processes for wine, beer, bottled water and aseptically packaged products like juices. To protect system quality, FCWPS filters also see service in removing organic and other contaminants from process water and clean in place solutions used in piping and other systems. Cartridge modules from each manufacturing lot are tested to ensure integrity before release of the lot from manufacturing, assuring that the filters will retain particles at the rated pore size.
