Description
PEPLYN HA filters have been specifically developed to provide the optimum solution for particulate removal in liquid clarification applications.
The filtration media balances a high surface area and closely controlled porosity, in a configuration that maximizes the cleaning efficiency of the cartridge through backwash procedures.
Capture of larger insoluble particulate is predominantly on the surface of the media, where the rigid, open pleat structure ensures that backwash cleaning provides effective removal. Smaller colloids are retained throughout the depth of the graded density PEPLYN media, providing accurately defined retention under the variable particle loading conditions typical in clarification applications.
Features/ Benefits
- Increased service life when combined with frequent backwash cleans
- High flow and increased resistance to blockage under high particle loading conditions
- A consistent and reliable quality filtrate delivered to intermediate storage in the bottling facility
- Specially designed media for backwash regeneration against insoluble particulate
- High surface area
- Available in a range of absolute micron retention ratings

Recommended Operating Conditions
Up to 70 °C (158 °F) continuous operating temperature and higher short-term temperatures during CIP to the following limits:
Effective Filtration Area (EFA)
10¨ (250 mm) Up to 0.7 m2 (7.53 ft2)
Cleaning and Sterilization
PEPLYN HA cartridges can be repeatedly steam sterilized in-situ or autoclaved at up to 135 °C (275 °F). They can be sanitized with hot water at up to 90 °C (194 °F) and are compatible with a wide range of chemicals.
Retention Characteristics
The retention characteristics of PEPLYN HA filter cartridges have been determined by a single-pass technique using suspensions of ISO 12103 Pt. 1 A2 Fine and A4 Course test dust in water
Manufacturing Traceability
Each filter cartridge displays the product name, product code and lot number. Additionally, each module displays a unique serial number providing full manufacturing traceability.
