Food and Biological Safety

Materials conform to the relevant requirements of 21CFR Part 177, EC1935 / 2004 and current USP Plastics Class VI – 121 °C and ISO10993 equivalents.

Recommended Operating Conditions

Up to 70 °C (158 °F) continuous operating temperature and higher short-term temperatures during CIP to the following limits:

Capsules may be operated up to a temperature of 40 °C (104 °F) at line pressures up to 5.0 barg (72.51 psig) for liquids and 4.0 barg (58.01 psig) in air / gas.

Effective Filtration Area (EFA)

10¨ (250 mm) 0.5 m² (5.38 ft²)

Cleaning and Sterilisation

PREPOR PP cartridges can be repeatedly steam sterilised in situ or autoclaved at up to 135 °C (275 °F). They can be sanitised with hot water at up to 90 °C (194 °F) and are compatible with a wide range of chemicals. Capsules can be repeatedly autoclaved up to 135 °C (275 °F). For detailed operational procedures and advice on cleaning and sterilisation, please contact the Technical Support Group through your usual Parker domnick hunter contact.

Retention Characteristics

The retention characteristics of PREPOR PP have been determined by a combination of controlled laboratory tests and in-use monitoring for a number of organisms. Bacterial challenge testing is carried out to methods specified in ASTM F838-05.

Features and Benefits

  • Yeast and bacterial reduction to provide short term microbial stability
  • Adjustment of filterability of bulk liquids after tank storage or transport
  • Fine clarification to provide bright finished product
  • Prolonged contact with hot water, steam and chemicals
  • Prefiltration duty to extend the lifetime of downstream microporous filters
