KFM.F Capsules are produced on the basis of fluoroplastic hydrophobic membrane F42 and are used for finish treatment of gaseous media in medicine, microbiological industry, pharmacy, food and other industries, for removal of mechanical impurities and microorganisms with the size above or equal 0.45 μm.
Main applications
- Finish filtration of compressed air and gases, CO2.
- Removal of particles and “mist” in the laboratory air supply.
- Ventilation of containers (“tank breathing”).
- Protection of air used in different devices.
- Polishing and sterilization of non-aqueous media, aggressive liquids compatible with filter’s materials.
Construction and materials
KFM.F is a one-piece filter consisting of a polypropylene outer body with a cartridge-type membrane element pressed into it with a filtering surface area from 0.07 to 0.4 m².
Standard KFM.F are manufactured with two types of connections: threaded conical 1/2" and sanitary flange type triclamp. Capsules are produced with hygienic openings for air release (1/4" outlet valve).

Sanitization and sterilization
Sterilization of Capsules is performed by autoclaving at temperature 121°С for 30 minutes after attainment of set-point temperature.
KFM.F Capsules are able to withstand at least 50 sterilization cycles by autoclaving at P = 0,1 MPa and t=121 ± 1°С . Note! It is prohibited to sterilize Capsule by steam-in-line.
KFM.F Capsules are compatible with wide variety of chemical substances.
For detailed instructions on operation Capsules please contact technical specialists of Technofilter RME.

Quality and safety
All membrane filter elements used for production of KFM.F Capsules are subjected to wash out from organic and mechanical impurities with high-purity water and to 100% integrity control.
KFM.F capsules are added to the Register of Medical Devices of the Ministry of health of the Russian Federation.
The capsules are certified for use in Medical Industry and Sanitary and Epidemiological Station, they are authorized to use in Food industry. The production quality management system is certified (ISO 9001: 2008).
