Peplyn Plus | Filter Cartridges

Description

PEPLYN PLUS filter cartridges are utilized for the clarification and pre-stabilization of process liquids and supporting utility solutions for the beverage industries.

Available in a range of absolute retention ratings, PEPLYN PLUS cartridges represent a cost-effective solution to condition a range of beverage products prior to intermediate storage or final stabilization.

Extensive research has resulted in filter media with continuously graded fibre density giving progressively finer particulate retention through the depth of the media. This, combined with optimized media pleating density gives PEPLYN PLUS cartridges exceptional lifetime and retention performance characteristics.

Features

• Absolute retention ratings from 0.6µm to 100µm
• Pleated media with graded density
• All polypropylene, thermally bonded cartridge construction

Benefits

• Reliable, fine particle retention
• High flow and increased service life to blockage
• Compatible with aggressive process conditions including chemical cleaning and steam sanitization
