FLUOROFIL~(TM) FILTERS TO WITHSTAND REPEATED STEAM CYCLES

摘要

Porvair Filtration Group (www.porvairfiltration.com) has developed a range of products for sterile air filtration applications. Porvair’s PTFE membrane filters are designed to resist repeated steam cycles at high tem-peratures. The durable Fluorofil~(TM) Plus filter cartridges have been tested to withstand 250 steam sterilisation cycles for 1 hour at temperatures of 142oC. The car-tridges can also withstand steaming in the reverse flow direction at 142oC, making for an effective all round performance. Fermentation processes require a high degree of security and productivity - and Porvair be-lieves that the ability to withstand steam sterilisation for longer periods and at higher temperatures results in better process security and a decrease in downtime.
