Engineering summary from PDF text extraction for SUPRApak SW Series Modules. Verify every value with the OEM datasheet.
Summary
Product identification
SUPRApak SW Series depth filter modules are designed for high throughput depth filtration in closed systems, setting a new standard for enclosed sheet filtration with exceptional throughput and removal performance. They combine surface filtration, depth filtration, and adsorption mechanisms. A unique "edge flow" principle provides a new flow configuration.
Description
Seitz® filter sheet material is wrapped around a central, permeable core. Feed and filtrate channels provide a fluid flow path for maximum utilization of the sheet material, ensuring highly efficient contaminant removal and a cost-effective closed system alternative to flat sheet filtration.
Features
- Flow configuration based on “edge flow” principle
- Closed filtration system
- Drainable, low hold-up volume assembly
- Available in multiple grades and sizes
- High filtration capacity in compact design
- Simple, quick installation and servicing
Benefits
- Up to 6 times higher throughput compared to classical sheet filtration, resulting in longer process uptimes¹
- Increased adsorption capability and excellent filtrate quality
- Increased process safety and product quality; no drip losses; minimal operator exposure to process fluids
- Higher product yield; lower cleaning costs
- Suitable for a variety of applications
- Small footprint
- Reduced labor and maintenance costs
Applications
Typical applications are found in many fluids in the food and beverage industry, including:
- Final Filtration: enzyme solutions, sweeteners
- Polishing filtration: sweeteners, beer, wine, flavors, distilled spirits, thin liquor gelatin, yeast extract
- Clarifying filtration: beer, wine, enzymes, distilled spirits, flavors, thin liquor gelatin, polyols, edible oils
- Coarse filtration: general particle removal, wax removal in edible oils
Quality & Compliance
- Filter sheets produced in a controlled environment.
- Manufactured according to ISO 9001:2008 certified Quality Management System.

Nominal Weight and Typical Ash Content
| Module | Dry Weight | Wet Weight | Ash Content⁵ |
|---|---|---|---|
| SUPRApak S | 1.6 –1.8 kg (3.5 – 4 lbs) | 3.5 – 4.5 kg (7.7– 9.9 lbs) | 35 – 49% |
| (SW 5200 – SW 7300) | |||
| SUPRApak S (SW 7700) | 1.2 kg (2.6 lbs) | 3.1– 3.8 kg (6.8 – 8.4 lbs) | < 2% |
| SUPRApak M | 5.1– 5.6 kg (11.2–12.3 lbs) | 15.5 –16.5 kg (34.1–36.3 lbs) | 40 – 54% |
| (SW 5200 – SW 7300) | |||
| SUPRApak M (SW 7700) | 3.8 kg (8.4 lbs) | 13 –15 kg (28.6 – 33 lbs) | < 2% |
| SUPRApak L | 11–12 kg (24.2–26.4 lbs) | 25 – 30 kg (55 – 66 lbs) | 40 – 54% |
| (SW 5200 – SW 7300) | |||
| SUPRApak L (SW 7700) | 7.5 kg (16.5 lbs) | 25–30 kg (55–66 lbs) | < 2% |
⁵These figures are determined on typical finished articles. Values differ for individual SW grades. Ash values for the filter sheets in individual batches are available on request.
Operating Characteristics in Compatible Fluids³
| Module Size | Grade | Max. Operating Temperature |
|---|---|---|
| SUPRApak S, M, L | SW 5200–SW 7300 | 75 °C (167 °F) / 8 hours⁴ |
| SUPRApak S, M, L | SW 7700 | ambient |
³Compatible fluids are those which do not adversely affect the filter materials of construction. ⁴Laboratory tests up to 8 hours exposure. Actual field experience shows substantially longer resistance to high temperatures. For continuous hot fluid applications over 40 °C (104 °F), a stainless steel support core is required.
Sanitization⁶
| Method | Temperature | Max Differential Pressure (forward) | Time/Cycles⁷ |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hot Water | 85 °C (185 °F) | 1.5 bard (21.7 psid) | 10 cycles @ 20 min each |
⁶SW 7700 is not designed for sanitization with hot water. ⁷The actual time required may vary as a function of the process conditions. Laboratory tests were carried out up to 10 cycles. Actual field experience shows more cycles are achievable, coupled with proper filtrate quality monitoring.
Rinsing⁸
| Module Size | Rinsing Volume/Module | Recommended Flow Rate |
|---|---|---|
| SUPRApak S | 20 liters (5.3 gal) | 1.5 times filtration flow rate |
| SUPRApak M | 140 liters (37 gal) | 1.5 times filtration flow rate |
| SUPRApak L | 340 liters (90 gal) | 1.5 times filtration flow rate |
⁸Depending on the application, rinsing with cold or warm water in a forward flow direction is recommended prior to filtration.
Typical Flow Rates (SW 7700)⁹
Due to the high permeability of SUPRApak SW7700 modules, initial clean water differential pressures at typical flux rates are negligibly low and influenced by measurement accuracy.
| Module | Flow Rate/Module | Initial Differential Pressure⁹ |
|---|---|---|
| SUPRApak S,M,L | ≤ 5000 liters/hour (22 gal/min) | ≤ 400 mbar (5.8 psid) |
⁹TCWF: Total Clean Water Flow. Typical initial clean delta p per module, water at 20° C (68° F), viscosity 1 cP.
Mechanical / Hydraulic
Nominal Dimensions
