MicroVantage ™ MA Series - Beverage Grade Polyethersulfone, Polypropylene and Nylon Membrane Filter Elements - 1

• • • • • • • • Features Media Definitions Shelco’s new MicroVantage™ pleated membrane cartridges are designed to meet the high standards of the beverage industry. These cartridges are manufactured to the most stringent production standards making them the new benchmark of the industry. Manufactured in an ISO 9000 environment, each beverage grade cartridge has its own lot code for traceability and comes with a certificate of quality assurance. Each operation including assembly, testing, cleaning, drying and packaging is done in an appropriately rated and certified clean room. MicroVantage™ MA Series - Beverage Grade Polyethersulfone, Polypropylene and Nylon Membrane Filter Elements The MicroVantage™ Beverage Grade Series is available in a wide range of pore sizes. Each cartridge is rinsed with a 17+ megohm water to flush away any remaining manufacturing debris and any extractables that may effect performance, taste, foaming or brightness. All Beverage Grade cartridges are validated using modified HIMA protocols at a challenge level of 106 organisms per cm2 of filter media. (0.22ìm challenged with Brevundimonas diminuta) (0.45 challenged with Serratia marscecens) (0.65 challenged with Saccharomyces cerevisiae) All materials of construction meet requirements of the FDA Title 21 of The Code of Federal Regulations. Cartridges are designed for maximum throughput and particle retention at the lowest pressure drop. Polyethersulfone, Nylon, and Polypropylene construction offers a wide range of compatability. Each cartridge is individually tested for integrity and is absolute at the rated pore size. Each cartridge is validated to pass USP class 6 Toxicology extractable tests for plastics. Applications Bottled Water Wine Beer Soft Drinks Juices Biological Filtration Tank Ventilation Asymmetric polyethersulfone membrane is designed for the food and beverage industry. PES is low protein binding and has excellent flow rates, therefore a good choice for fermented beverage filtration. The beverage grade is available with a pre-layer of poly depth media to extend the life of the cartridge in some applications. Sanitization: Industry standard concentrations of hydrogen peroxide, paracetic acid, sodium hypochlorite and other selected chemicals are designed to extend the life of the cartridge. Each cartridge module is integrity tested then wrapped and individually boxed. Excellent for final and prefiltration. PES NYLON POLY Nylon is particularly suited for water and syrup filtration. Fermented beverages and high protein liquids are better filtered with other polymers. Nylon does not tolerate heavy concentrations of common sanitization agents. Consult factory to determine if your chemical sanitization protocol can be used. Polypropylene membrane cartridges can be used in place of PTFE for vent filters when the CFM of air is in the proper range. Ideal for fermentation air, tank ventilation and gases. Consult factory for proper sizing.(Hydrophobic membrane) Airflow: 0.1 = (22 SCFM/psid/10 inch cartridge length) 0.2 = (32 SCFM/psid/10 inch cartridge length)
