Donaldson: Filtration Technology Safeguards the Fermentation Process

The housing for the Donaldson Ultrafilter PF-EG models are manufactured from a stainless steel (1.4404), which is low in carbon. As a standard, the sealing material EPD conforms to the FDA-directive (177.2600) for being equitable to foodstuffs. All parts, which come into contact with the product, are electro-polished and have a surface finish of under 0,8 (Ra). This ensures that not even the smallest particles are able to cling to the inside of the housing. Housings in the quality Ra<0,5 (with certificate) are available for pharmaceutical applications. As a standard the new model range comprises of seven different sizes for volume flows of 30 to 600 l/min. For larger volume flows housings can be manufactured according to the requirements of the customer. The housings are designed for a pressure of 10 bar (at 20 celcius degree) respectively 3,7 bar at 149 celcius degree. The filter element can be exchanged without large time effort: a tri-clamp connection with a massive clamp, or for larger housings with screws, anbles a secure connection and a swift disconnection of the bottom and the upper part of the filter housing.
