Pleated membrane filter cartridge SME⁺

beveragefor solventswater

The SME⁺ is the evolution of the Atlas Copco PES membrane family, available in standard and pharmaceutical grades. The series has been designed to provide safe, reliable and efficient bioburden control and sterilization of valuable liquids used in Food & Beverage and Chemical industries for the standard grade. The filters effectively retain particles and micro-organisms through a single layer asymmetric, hydrophilic PES membrane characterized by low extractability and protein binding. The filter media is combined with PET support layers, and the cage and core are sealed with nylon end supports, providing improved and superior wettability versus polypropylene alternatives. The cartridge is integrated into a robust cage, making it suitable for nearly all operational, service, and cleaning conditions with an improved number of SIP cycles. SME⁺ filters are available in a wide range of cartridges. All filters incorporate the same media and identical materials of construction, eliminating the need to requalify filter units as processes are scaled up. Key features •Wide range of ratings and devices •Increased number of SIP Cycles •Improved wettability with hydrophilic materials •100% integrity tested & DI water flushed Applications Thanks to its chemical compatibility SME⁺ filters are designed for use in a wide range of food and beverage and general applications. •Retention of particles and micro-organisms in liquids •Bioburden control and sterilization •Edible liquids: bottled water, beer, wine, spirits, juices, soft drinks, non-carbonated drinks, etc.
