Water Filtration
Water is an important part of the process whether used for cleaning and rinsing or in the production process. Food and beverage manufacturers around the world have come to reply on SupaPore, SupaSpun II and SupaPleat II premium quality filter cartridges for removal of particulates and microorganisms.
Housings should be fully flowed, fully draining and suitable for CIP (Clean In Place) and/or steaming. The Amazon 62 Series, 64 Series or 70 Series housings are ideal for meeting these requirements.
Gases (Compressed air, CO2 and N2)
Gases that come into contact with the product should be filtered to prevent recontamination. Critical gas applications include blanketing gases (N2 or CO2 used to blanket tanks or pipework), carbonation and nitrogenisation.
For these applications we recommend Amazon SupaPleat II or SupaPore PPG cartridges for general particulate control and SupaPore TP for sterile filtration duties. Recommended housing options for particulate control applications are Amazon 52 Series or 53 Series and Amazon 72 Series or 76 Series housings for more critical applications.
Steam
Filtration systems used in manufacturing may be steam sterilised in-situ and the steam used to do this should be filtered to prevent it causing premature blockage of, or damage to, the process filter.
For this application we recommend Amazon SupaMesh stainless steel mesh cartridges (10 µm absolute) housed in Amazon 52 Series or 53 Series housings.
