GBPES

Summary

Product identification

The GBPES-Series High Purity Wine and Beverage Grade Polyethersulfone Filter Cartridges are designed for the wine and beverage industry. These cartridges feature a polyethersulfone membrane offering high flux density and low protein-binding, preserving the organoleptic characteristics of treated products. They are flushed with ultra-High Purity water for stringent extractable requirements, diffusion tested for integrity, and manufactured in a clean-room environment. The design tolerates repeated hot water sanitization and in situ steam sterilization cycles.

Construction Materials

• Membrane: Polyethersulfone
• Support Media: Polypropylene
• End Caps: Polypropylene
• Cages and Cores: Polypropylene
• O-Rings/Gaskets: Buna, EPDM, Silicone, Teflon® Encapsulated Viton®, Viton®, Teflon® Encapsulated Silicone
