Product Features

  • Gradient Pore Structure: The “loose-to-tight” layered design integrates pre-filtration and final filtration, increasing dirt-holding capacity by over 30% compared to standard cartridges.
  • High Flow Efficiency: With a filtration area of ≥0.6 m² per 10″, the cartridge maintains a low initial pressure drop (<0.1 MPa), providing flow rates 30% faster than conventional designs.
  • Superior Chemical Compatibility: Nylon membrane offers excellent resistance to a wide range of organic solvents (alcohols, ketones), acids, and alkalis (pH 1–13). Note: Avoid strong oxidizers (e.g., high-concentration hypochlorite).
  • Steam Sterilizable: Available in high-temperature versions (with optional stainless steel core) capable of withstanding 121°C steam sterilization (SIP) for aseptic processes.

Precautions

Selection & Operation Guide

  • Accuracy Selection:
  • 1–0.22 μm: Sterile filtration and high-purity water.
  • 45–0.65 μm: Clarification of beverages and general liquids.
  • 1–10 μm: Prefiltration for RO systems and viscous liquids.
  • Sterilization:
  • Steam (SIP): 121°C for 30 minutes (Ensure proper housing spacing and use high-temp version).
  • Chemical: Compatible with CIP cleaning agents.
  • Flow Direction: Strictly Inside-Out to maintain structural integrity.

Maintenance & Replacement

  • Disposable Design: The FHFPA filter cartridge is designed for single-use or batch-use only.
  • No Backwashing: Do not backwash the cartridge. The pleated structure is not designed to withstand reverse pressure, which will cause permanent deformation and media shedding.
  • Replacement Criteria:
  • When the pressure differential (ΔP) reaches 0.15 MPa.
  • At the end of a production batch or sterilization cycle.
  • If flow rate decreases by more than 30%.
