Sterile air filters reduce batch contamination, product spoilage and loss and system downtime. Effective sterile air filtration is a necessary part of every critical process. Sterile Air Filtration is an important component in the Food, Beverage, and Pharmaceutical industries. Sterile Air Filtration protects your process from harmful submicron particle contamination and bacterial transfer or growth.

It also helps protect production yield, especially in high-tech industries (electronics, plating, magnetic media, etc.) where submicron particle contamination can significantly reduce yields, resulting in product and dollar loss. The use of high efficiency submicron air filters have become a standard “current good manufacturing practice” allowing for more productive and economical processing.

MicroPure’s Patented Segmented Filter Element Design in their Sterile Air Filters offers significant advantages over conventional filter cartridges. 

Bidirectional PTFE membranes with a 0.1 or 0.2 micron retention efficiency are sandwiched between perforated stainless steel segment discs for support within an stainless steel housing.  The independently functioning modular segments are clamped together by a stainless steel tension rod that provides continued support upstream and downstream of the filter membrane.  The required cartridge length and diameter are determined by your application specifications. This unique design allows Micropure to built a filter that meets your pressure and flow rate needs.

Conventional pleated filter cartridges degrade with each sterilization and operational cycle. MicroPure filters can be steam sterilized in place up to 150 times with no loss of filtering effectiveness, as validated by an internationally recognized food laboratory. Other sterilization or cleaning methods commonly used are autoclave, hydrogen peroxide, steam, or a variety of sanitizing agents.*

Filter membrane replacement is a very simple & easy process because only the filter membranes are replaced. The operational and disposal cost is considerably lower than for other traditional cartridge filter options. With MicroPure filters, only the small filter membrane media is replaced.

The bidirectional flow rate and porosity of the PTFE membrane permit higher flow rates than conventional cartridge filters while maintaining submicron bacterial retention efficiency.

The rugged, reliable design of MicroPure Segmented Filters has been subjected to extensive testing in Europe and the United States, with more than 5,000 systems installed in food-and beverage-processing applications.

MicroPure Segmented Filters, designed for two-way consistent flow offer uncompromised security for any filtration application.
