SupaPore VC
SupaPore VC microfiltration membrane capsules are fully disposable filter units for small and medium scale liquid processing applications. They are ready-to-use, avoiding the need to purchase or maintain filter housings and are easy to change out with minimal downtime. The filtration unit is permanently enclosed inside the capsule shell to minimize post-use cleaning and operator exposure to process fluids. SupaPore VC capsules are available with pleated PES (polyethersulfone) membranes and offered with a range of inlet/outlet connections to suit most process systems. The filters are supplied in a wide range of lengths from 50mm to 750mm and two diameters of 75mm and 90mm.
