SMT-G filters provide safe, reliable and efficient bioburden control and sterilization of compressed air, nitrogen and other gases used in Food & Beverage, Pharmaceutical and Chemical industries.
The filters effectively retain particles and micro-organisms through a single layer asymmetric, hydrophobic PTFE membrane, fully validated for bacterial retention. The filter media with support layers is integrated into a robust cage or housing making it suitable for nearly all operation, service and cleaning conditions.
Key features
- Hydrophobic PTFE membrane, integrity testable
- 100% removal of particles ≥ 0,01 μm
- Validated bacteria retention
- No surfactants or binders
Applications
Thanks to its chemical compatibility SMT-G filters are widely used in Food & Beverage, Pharmaceutical, Cosmetics and Chemical Industries.
- Retention of particles and micro-organisms in compressed air & gases
- Bioburden control and sterilization
- Sterile venting of tanks
- Fermentation tank in and off gas filtration
