Why You Need Sterile Gas?
To reduce batch contamination, spoilage and product loss, effective sterile gas filtration is a necessary part of your process. Especially important in the food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries, sterile gas filtration protects your product from harmful submicron particle contamination and bacterial transfer or growth.
It also helps protect production yield, especially in high-tech industries (electronics, plating, magnetic media, etc.) where submicron particle contamination can significantly reduce yields, resulting in product and dollar loss. The use of high efficiency submicron gas filters have become a standard “current good manufacturing practice” allowing for more productive and economical processing.
MicroPure Segmented Filters feature a patented design that offers significant advantages over conventional filter cartridges.
Self-sealing PTFE membranes with a 0.1 micron retention efficiency for gas are sandwiched between perforated stainless steel segments within an stainless steel housing. The independently functioning modular segments are clamped together by a stainless steel tension rod that provides continued support upstream and downstream of the filter membrane. The required cartridge length and diameter are determined by your application.
The picture below shows the difference between the two types of media. Our media (top image) traps all particles upstream on top of the media where the competitor’s filter traps and absorbs the contaminates.
Steam flows into the openings on the outside of each segment disc and passes through the filter and into an adjacent disc.
Filtered steam exits through the opening at the center of the cartridge, free from contaminants that can affect the quality of your product.
