Summary
Product identification
The Fuente Colloids Filter Cartridge, model FBFSCEN, is designed for highly effective particulate colloid removal from water, particularly from process water used in the beverage industry. It aims to improve the service life of downstream final filters.
Description
The filter membrane of the Fuente Colloids cartridge offers increased dirt holding capacity compared to melt blown depth-style media. The polyethersulfone media allows for repeated cold chemical sanitization cycles.
Materials of Construction
- Filter Media: Hydrophilic Polyethersulfone (PES)
- Support and Drainage: Polypropylene
- Cage: Polypropylene
- Core, End Cap and Fin End: Polypropylene
- Adaptor: Polypropylene with internal stainless steel reinforcing ring
- O-ring Seal: Silicone Elastomer
Features and Benefits
- Asymmetric polyethersulfone media:
- High dirt holding capacity
- Broad chemical compatibility
- Suitable for repeated sterilization or sanitization for economical operation
- Cartridges produced in a controlled environment.
- Manufactured according to ISO 9001:2008 certified Quality Management System.
Operating limits
- Maximum Differential Pressure:
- 4.8 bar (70 psid) up to 40 °C (104 °F) – forward
- 3 bar (45 psid) up to 80 °C (176 °F) – forward
- Typical Flow Rates: 20 L/min @ 70 mbar (5.2 USgpm @ 1 psid)
Sanitization / Sterilization
| Media | Temperature | Maximum Cumulative Time | Number of Cycles (20 minutes cycles) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Steam | 110 °C (230 °F) | 30 hours | 90 |
| Hot Water | 85 °C (185 °F) | 30 hours | 90 |
