GGD Capsule Filters Pleated Fiberglass Depth Media Applications Process Water Acids & Bases Inks & Dyes Air/Vent Filtration GGD capsules are designed for use wherever efficient clarification or prefiltration is a critical part of the process. The capsules are made using fiberglass depth media and provide 99% retention at the rated pore size. The high-efficiency GGD capsules are designed with the optimal filtration area so that the filters can remove large amounts of particulate and other contaminants over a long filter life. GGD capsules protect critical membrane filters in downstream liquid processes. Rated at 99% retention at pore size H igh contaminant holding capacity as well as excellent retention Applications for GGD capsule filters include removal of particulate contaminants from process water, specialty chemicals, inks and dyes. They are also used for tank vents to protect contents from particle contamination. Wide range of retention ratings Protects critical membrane filters downstream GGD Capsule Filters - Filtration Area* Capsule Length *Average – Filtration area varies with media thickness and porosity. 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. Pore Size 0.22 μm 0.30 μm 0.45 μm 0.65 μm * 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 Pleated Fiberglass Depth Media Gases Operational Pressure Media Support Operating Temperature Center Core Outer Support Cage Sealing Method Thermal Bonding Forward Differential Pressure 50 psid (3.4 bard) at 20 °C (68 °F) Reverse Differential Pressure Recommended Changeout Pressure General Service Grade

All Critical Process Filtration capsule filters are designed to meet the FDA requirements for processing food and beverage products. The materials used to construct GGD capsule 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, Annex...
