Pharma PTFE Membrane Cartridge Filters

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides detailed specifications and guidelines for PTM Filter Cartridges, which are pharmaceutical-grade filters made with hydrophobic polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) membrane. These filters are designed for aggressive solvents, compressed gas, and vent filtration.
Construction Materials: The filters are constructed using PTFE for the filtration media, with polypropylene used for media support, end caps, center core, and outer support cage. The sealing method is thermal bonding, and various O-ring materials are available, including Buna, Viton, EP, Silicone, and FEP encapsulated options.
Dimensions: The cartridges are available in lengths from 5 to 40 inches, with an outside diameter of 2.75 inches. The filtration area is 8.2 square feet per 10-inch length.
Integrity Test Specifications: The document outlines pore sizes ranging from 0.10 μm to 5.0 μm, with corresponding bubble point and water intrusion specifications for each size.
Operating Parameters: Maximum differential pressure is 50 psid forward and 40 psid reverse at 20°C. The operating temperature is 82°C at 10 psid, with a recommended changeout pressure of 35 psid.
Sanitization/Sterilization: The 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.
Applications: The filters are suitable for compressed air, pressurized gases, fermentation air, tank ventilation, and solvents.
Quality Assurance and Standards: The filters are designed for cGMP-compliant processes and meet ISO 9001:2008 standards. They are also compliant with USP biosafety and FDA regulations for non-toxic materials suitable for repeated food contact.
Validation: PTM cartridges are validated according to ASTM F 838-05 and HIMA protocols for bacterial retention, with specific challenges for different pore sizes.
Flow Rates: Typical flow rates for liquids and air/gas are provided for each pore size, with values given for ambient temperature and a 1 psid pressure differential.
Ordering Information: The document includes a detailed guide for ordering cartridges, specifying variables such as pore size, end cap type, length, and O-ring material.

Pharma PTFE Membrane Cartridge Filters-1

PTM Filter Cartridges PTFE Membrane Pressurized Gases Tank Ventilation Dimensions Length Outside Diameter Filtration Area Integrity Test Specifications Per 10 in. length Pore Size (liquid) PTM Membrane Filter Cartridges are sterilizing grade filters manufactured with inherently hydrophobic polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) membrane. These cartridges are designed for use in 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.

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...
