PureFlo® Depth Pleated Capsule filters are designed for filtration andclarification applications in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, food and beverage, medical, chemical, and water worldwide. This family of products is particularly suitable for the fluids that contain gels, colloidal suspensions, or high suspended solids. Highly retentive graded porosity design removes particles by size – larger particles by the more open outer layers and smaller particles by the tighter inner layers. The outer layers act as a pre-filter while the inner layers provide the absolute rating at the specified pore size.This efficiently spreads the contaminants throughout the media matrix, thereby, resulting in superior contaminant holding capacity, lifetime, and lower pressure drop as compared to other depth media capsules.
