Wine PES Cartridge Filters

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document details the specifications and applications of Wine and Beverage Grade VPS Cartridge Filters, which utilize dual-layered Polyethersulfone (PES) membranes. These filters are designed for use in the wine, soft drinks, beer, aseptic packaged liquids, juices, and process water industries, complying with FDA and EC directives for food and beverage manufacturing.
Specifications: The filters feature a dual PES membrane that retains contaminants while allowing flavor components to pass through. They are constructed with polypropylene support materials and are thermally bonded. The filters are available in various pore sizes ranging from 0.22 μm to 1.2 μm, with specific air diffusion rates and dimensions.
Performance and Testing: Each filter module is integrity tested to ensure it removes particulate and organic materials at the rated pore size. The filters are designed to handle cleaning and sanitization protocols effectively, with maximum operating parameters specified for differential pressure and temperature.
Sanitization and Sterilization: The filters can be sanitized using filtered hot water, autoclave, in-line steam, and chemical sanitization methods. A stainless steel support ring is required for elevated temperature procedures.
Compliance and Quality Assurance: The filters meet FDA requirements for food contact and comply with European Commission regulations. They are manufactured in an ISO 9001:2008 certified facility, ensuring high quality and cost-effective filtration solutions.
Validation and Flow Rates: VPS cartridges are validated using ASTM and HIMA protocols for bacterial retention. Typical flow rates are provided for different pore sizes, with extrapolation for multiple elements and higher pressure drops being acceptable.
Ordering Information: The document provides detailed ordering codes for cartridge configurations, including pore size, end cap type, length, and O-ring/gasket material.

We supply a complete line of products and services to help you cost effectively satisfy all your filtration requirements from a single source. < 30 cc/min at 35 psig (2.4 barg) 0.45 μm Wine and beverage grade PS filter cartridges are designed to comply with all FDA requirements and EC directives for food and beverage manufacturing and food contact. Polyethersulfone is low protein binding and a good choice for fermented beverage filtrations. The unique dual membrane design retains organic and other contaminants while allowing valuable flavor components through the filter. VPS Filter Cartridges are flushed with high purity water to remove manufacturing debris and extractables that may affect the taste of the product. VPS filters are configured to increase the surface area, give maximum throughput and handle cleaning and sanitization protocols well. Each module is tested to ensure integrity and will remove all particulate and organic materials at the rated pore size. < 30 cc/min at 20 psig (1.4 barg) < 30 cc/min at 15 psig (1.0 barg) < 30 cc/min at 12 psig (0.8 barg) < 30 cc/min at 8 psig (552 mbarg) Dimensions Length Outside Diameter Filtration Area Maximum Operating Parameters Differential Pressure • Forward • Reverse Maximum Operating Temperature Recommended Changeout Pressure Sanitization/Sterilization Filtered Hot Water 90 °C (194 °F), 30 minutes, multiple cycles, max 3 psid forward flow In-line Steam For all elevated temperature procedures above, a stainless steel support ring is required.
