Pleated membrane filter cartridge SME-X⁺

beveragewaterfor micro-filtration

The SME-X⁺ 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 retain particles and microorganisms using a double-layer asymmetric, hydrophilic PES membrane with low extractables and protein binding. The media is supported by PET layers, and the nylon-sealed cage and core provide enhanced wettability compared to polypropylene alternatives. Compatibility The SME-X⁺ features a polypropylene core and cage, combined with nylon end supports and PET layers for improved wettability. Thermal weldingtechniques seal all the components therefore optimizing device integrity, as well as assuring a broad chemical compatibility with a large number of solvents, acids and bases. Polypropylene is a highly chemically resistant materiale enabling the filters to be chemically regenerated. Key features Double membrane for extremely safe and reliable operation • Increased number of SIP Cycles • Improved wettability with hydrophilic materials • 100% integrity tested & DI water flush Applications Thanks to its chemical compatibility SME-X⁺ filters are designed for use in a wide range of food and beverage and general applications. • Cold stabilization of alcoholic drinks • Sterilization of bottled and process water • Final filtration of beverage production • Edible liquids: bottled water, beer, wine, spirits, juices, soft drinks, non-carbonated drinks, etc.
