Profile Star Filter Cartridges
Engineering summary from PDF text extraction for Profile Star Filter Cartridges. Verify every value with the OEM datasheet.
Summary
Product Identification
Profile® Star Filter Cartridges are pleated depth filters designed for high particle removal efficiency in food and beverage applications, specifically for gel and particle removal. They combine a continuously graded pore structure with a unique pleated geometry to increase effective filtration area and service life. These filters offer excellent removal of soft contaminants (e.g., gels) due to the depth of the medium.
Features and Benefits:
- Quality:
- Cartridges produced in a controlled environment.
- Manufactured according to ISO 9001:2008 certified Quality Management System.
- Unique Design:
- Fixed fiber matrix for consistent filtrate quality and process reliability.
- Unique pleated medium with no sideseal for lower capital and installation costs, smaller assemblies, lower operating costs, longer service life, and regenerability.
- Polypropylene filter construction with no adhesives or surfactants for increased surface area and mechanical strength.
Materials of Construction
- Filter Medium: Pleated Polypropylene
- Cage, Core, Fin End and End Cap: Polypropylene
- Adaptor: Polypropylene with a stainless steel reinforcing ring
- O-Ring Seal: Ethylene Propylene Rubber or Silicone Elastomer
Operating Limits
These characteristics apply in compatible fluids¹:
- Maximum Differential Pressure:
- 5.0 bard (72 psid) (forward) at <50 °C (122 °F)
- 3.4 bard (50 psid) (forward) at <80 °C (176 °F)
- 0.3 bard (5 psid) (forward) at <125 °C (257 °F)
- ¹Compatible fluids are defined as those which do not swell, soften or attack any of the filter components.
Sterilization and Sanitization:
- In situ Steam Sterilization:
- Temperature: 125 °C (257 °F)
- Cumulative Time: 10 hours
- In situ Hot Water Sanitization:
- Temperature: 80 °C (176 °F)
- Note: For applications requiring sterilization or sanitization, Pall recommends the use of Code 7 adaptors to ensure filter sealing after cooling.
Flow Rates
Typical flow rates are provided in a graphical format in the original PDF, showing Flow Rate (USgpm or L/min) versus Differential Pressure (mbard or psid) for various grades (A010, A015, A030, A050, A100, A200, A400). This data refers to typical initial clean media differential pressure (∆P) for a 254 mm (10”) element, with water at 20 °C and 1 cP viscosity.
See the official PDF for exact tabulated values and flow curves.
