Pharma PTFE High Temperature Cartridge Filters

Product catalog summary
Overview: The PTM/HT Filter Cartridges are sterilizing-grade filters made with hydrophobic PTFE membrane, designed for high-temperature applications such as filtration of aggressive solvents, compressed gases, and vent filters. Each cartridge is individually tested using the water intrusion method to ensure quality.
Construction Materials: The filters are constructed with PTFE membrane, polyester media support, and polypropylene components for end caps, center core, and outer support cage. Sealing is achieved through thermal bonding, and various O-ring materials are available, including Buna, Viton, EP, Silicone, and FEP encapsulated options.
Applications: Suitable for compressed air, pressurized gases, fermentation air, tank ventilation, and solvents.
Dimensions: Cartridges range from 5 to 40 inches in length with an outside diameter of 2.75 inches. The filtration area is 8.2 ft² per 10-inch length.
Integrity Test Specifications: The filters are tested for pore sizes ranging from 0.10 μm to 1.0 μm, with specific bubble point and water intrusion values provided for each size.
Operating Parameters: Maximum differential pressure is 50 psid forward and 40 psid reverse at 20°C. The maximum continuous air temperature is 105°C, with a recommended service life of one year.
Sanitization/Sterilization: Filters can be autoclaved at 121°C or steam sterilized at 135°C. Chemical sanitization can be performed using standard concentrations of hydrogen peroxide, paracetic acid, and sodium hypochlorite.
Quality Assurance: Filters are manufactured in compliance with cGMP and ISO 9001:2008 standards. Each filter is traceable through a lot code, and manufacturing data is collected in real-time for quality improvements.
Compliance: Materials meet USP Class VI and FDA requirements for non-toxic, food-contact safe materials. Filters comply with CFR sections for non-fiber releasing filters and have low levels of bacterial endotoxins.
Validation: Filters are validated according to ASTM F 838-05 and HIMA protocols for bacterial retention, with a challenge level of 107 organisms per cm².
Flow Rates: Typical flow rates are provided for different pore sizes, with liquid flow rates ranging from >1.25 to >8.0 gpm and air/gas flow rates from >25 to >75 scfm.

Pharma PTFE High Temperature Cartridge Filters-1

PTM/HT Filter Cartridges PTFE Membrane Pressurized Gases Tank Ventilation Dimensions Length Outside Diameter Filtration Area Integrity Test Specifications Per 10 in. length PTM/HT Membrane Filter Cartridges are sterilizing grade filters manufactured with inherently hydrophobic polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) membrane. These cartridges are designed for use in elevated temperature applications for the filtration of aggressive solvents and as compressed gas and vent filters. Each cartridge module is individually tested using the water intrusion method before it is released from manufacture. The cartridge surface area, filter core design, pleat configuration, and pleat packing density have been optimized to provide increased cartridge life and lower filtration operating costs. Rugged construction ensures repeatable steaming and testing.

Pharma PTFE High Temperature Cartridge Filters-2

Quality Assurance and Standards Critical Process Filtration filters are designed for use in cGMPcompliant processes. Our state of the art manufacturing facility and quality management system both meet ISO 9001:2008 standards. Each operation from assembly and test to cleaning, drying, and packaging is done in appropriately rated clean rooms. Each filter is assigned a lot code to ensure the traceability of manufacturing data and materials. A sophisticated MRP system collects and processes real time data from manufacturing centers and inspection points. This allows variable and attribute data to...
