Bevpor PH
BEVPOR PH is an advanced membrane filter cartridge designed for the beverage industry to meet and surpass these criteria. Specifically developed as a beverage grade cartridge, BEVPOR PH utilizes an advanced polyethersulfone membrane and integral prefilter layer to provide high flow rates, long life, and improved throughput. The combination of prefilter and the asymmetrical pore structure of the membrane offers graded filtration through the depth of the media, resulting in increased capacity to hold contaminants. The componentry is selected to withstand repeated chemical cleaning and steam sterilization.
