EPNS filter elements are cartridge type filters on the basis of the pleated material made of metal mesh (stainless steel AISI 304) with the effective filtration area from 0.22 to 1 m2. The pleated structure of the cartridge provides extended area of the surface compared to cylindrical metal filter cartridges, increasing thereby flow rates and lifetime of EPNS.

Features and applications

Features	Advantages
Pleated, robust	High filtration rates and lifetime with low hydraulic resistance. Mechanical strength of the element ensures multiple regenerations, wash outs and sterilizations in any direction.
High thermochemical resistance	Possibility to use elements for filtration of aggressive liquids under the temperatures up to 95 °C. Withstand multiple chemical regeneration in a wide pH range and in-line steam sterilization.
Reliability	Ability to restore their operational properties ensures long element lifetime. Produced in compliance with the Quality Management System (ISO 9001:2008).

Main applications

In medicine and biopharmaceuticals for preliminary filtration of highly viscous media, syrups, process water in ampoule washing machines.
In food industry for preliminary filtration in water treatment systems, clarification of syrups, cognacs, for mechanical treatment of alkaline solutions, alcohol, for clarification of syrups, oils, honey.
In other industries for treatment of aggressive liquids acids, alkaline, solvents and viscous media.
For prefiltration of highly aggressive and viscous media in various industries.
