Historically, plate and frame technology has required that upon completion of the production cycle, up to 90% of the liquid remaining in the filter needs to be reprocessed or discarded. The Diamond Series eliminates this obstacle entirely. Maximum yield of viable liquid is now possible. Filter Media As with all ErtelAlsop plate and frame filter press models, media is available for any application and/or operating condition, and is chosen based on your specific operating conditions, the performance required by the filtering media, and criteria given to us by you and/or by sample processing we do in our lab. ErtelAlsop offers the widest varieties of filter media including 100% cellulose pads, cellulose and diatomaceous earth pads, cellulose and Celpure® diatomaceous earth pads, cellulose and perlite pads, and cellulose and activated carbon pads. All filter pads are manufactured to very high standards for a wide range of applications in the pharmaceutical, chemical, cosmetic, electric utility and food and beverage markets. ErtelAlsop also offers a Validation Guide to assist in the validation of its filter pads in your process. The Validation Guide contains information regarding raw materials, extractables, and general information about the product. The combination of ErtelAlsop “P” grade filter pads and ErtelAlsop’s BioClean™ plate and frame filter press design, can help to simplify your depth filtration validation now more than ever.
