FGD Cartridge Filters Pleated Fiberglass Depth Media Applications Wine (clarification) Beverage (clarification) Soft Drinks Bottled Water Process Water Dimensions Length Outside Diameter 2.75 in. (7.0 cm) nominal (Average - area varies with media thickness and porosity) Integrity Test Information Our Pleated Fiberglass Depth Filter Cartridges have been designed to comply with all FDA requirements for the food industry. These cartridges have been rinsed with high purity water to assure that manufacturing debris does not remain in the cartridges to contaminate your product. This washing also removes extractables that may affect characteristics such as foaming or brightness. FGD Filter Cartridges are designed to give maximum throughput because of gradient density construction. This also allows for cartridge cleaning and re-use in some applications. Representative cartridge modules are tested for integrity to assure that filters are 99% efficient at the rated pore size. Construction Materials Filtration Media Pleated Fiberglass Depth Media Media Support Center Core Outer Support Cage Sealing Method Thermal Bonding Buna, Viton® (or FKM), EP, Silicone, FEP Encapsulated Silicone, FEP Encapsulated Viton (or FKM) Total Performance Critical Process Filtration, Inc. is a vertically integrated manufacturer of filtration products to industries in which filtration is considered a critical part of the manufacturing process. We supply a complete line of products and services to help you cost effectively satisfy all your filtration requirements from a single source. Representative sample cartridges are factory tested for integrity before shipment. Field duplication of these tests is not practical because of the absence of commercial portable testing equipment.
