SupaPore FPW
SupaPore FPW microfiltration cartridges have been designed as effective membrane prefilters and as final polishing filters for all liquid processing applications, particularly in beverage or high quality water applications.
Manufactured using polypropylene hardware, the SupaPore FPW utilises a superior Borosilicate Glass Microfibre as the media. This highly efficient pleated depth media offers excellent dirt holding capacity and retention levels, making it an ideal clarifier in many liquid processing applications.
Its thermally bonded construction ensures minimal extractables and its high filtration efficiency makes it an excellent choice for use in beverage, fine chemical and water treatment processes. The construction utilises thermal welding techniques to bond all the components, therefore eliminating adhesives, minimising extractables and optimising cartridge integrity.
The SupaPore FPW cartridges use pleated depth media and are available in Standard and Junior sizes with micron ratings from 0.3µm to 10µm in the full range of industry standard lengths and end cap styles.
