HIGHFLOW TETPOR II

HIGH FLOW TETPOR II - GAS FILTER MEMBRANE

Membrane gas filter

The filter medium of the HIGH FLOW TETPOR II filter elements is a completely water-repellent, star-shaped pleated PTFE membrane of the latest generation.

On the upstream and downstream side it is additionally protected by polypropylene fleece. The outer support body and end caps are made of a special, heat-stabilized polypropylene. Inner support bodies made of stainless steel ensure exceptional thermal and mechanical resilience.

A high effective filter area and an enlarged internal element diameter ensure excellent flow rates in compressed air/gas systems as well as in unpressurized applications such as tank ventilation and exhaust systems.

HIGHFLOW TETPOR II filter elements can be sterilized up to 225 times with saturated steam. As a standard element it is applicable up to an operating temperature of 60°C and as H.T.(High Temperature) element even up to 100°C.

Features:

• PTFE diaphragm of the latest generation
• Highly water repellent, for applications with residual moisture (condensate, tank cleaning)
• Integrated prefilter layer
• Validated for the separation of bacteria and viruses
• Excellent flow rates with low pressure drop
• Steam sterilizable up to 225 times
• Inside support body made of stainless steel
• Integrity testable

PLEATED STAINLESS STEEL STEAM FILTER ELEMENT

Steam filter elements are made of microporous sintered fibres with a fibre diameter of 1 to 40 microns.
Due to the extremely high porosity of the metal fibre fleece of up to 80% and the extremely high filter surface due to pleating of the filter medium, there is a large sum of pore cross-sections available for steam transfer compared to the material content. This fact guarantees an optimum ratio of filter fineness and filter performance.
Dirt, dust and rust particles are completely retained both on the filter surface and in the filter depth.

Steam filter elements offer:
 

• An extremely high throughput capacity due to the high porosity of 80% and the star-shaped folding (pleating) of the filter medium
• A high regenerability, chemically with acids and alkalis, mechanically with ultrasound or by backwashing
• A construction free of adhesives and binders due to the pressing of the end caps
• A high dirt holding capacity due to the additional depth filtration effect
• A high dimensional stability at high pressure differences and extreme stress
• Steam conditioning from complete particle removal to culinary steam quality (according to 3-A standard) at 1.0µ
