Emflon® PFR Membrane in Novasip™ Capsules
Datasheet: Novasip Filters With Emflon PFR Membrane Assemblies
The unique Novasip capsule filter combines Pall cartridge technology with the latest engineered polymers in an all–plastic filter assembly that can provide all of the benefits of a capsule filter with SIP (steam-in-place) capability. Novasip filters, therefore, provide an alternative to stainless steel housings in many appli¬cations. This enables filter users to reduce capital and labor costs and to minimize maintenance costs.
Novasip filters consist of a standard design filter cartridge permanently sealed in a clear polyetherimide housing.
Polyetherimide is an advanced plastic selected for its high-strength at elevated temperatures and pressures. This ensures that Novasip filters can be used under a wide range of operating conditions including multiple steam-in-place cycles. Novasip filters are supplied with inlet/outlet connections compatible with sanitary flange fittings. Vents and drains are available with integral valves.
Novasip filters with Emflon PFR filter membranes are purpose-designed for use in critical air and vent applications.
Comprehensive Validation Documentation
Novasip filters with Emflon PFR filter membrane have been extensively tested to ensure consistent and reliable performance under a range of process conditions. A full validation guide is available on request. Installation and operating instructions, including information on steam-sterilization, are available from Pall.
