Complete Range of Disposable Media Filter Capsules Engineered and Manufactured for Cost Effective Filtration

CP capsules are designed and manufactured by Critical Process for small flow and encapsulated disposable cartridge requirements. CP capsules are offered in a wide range of pleated and depth medias and offered in four grades; general, food / beverage, electronic and pharmaceutical. Each Capsule has been designed to hold the maximum amount of filter media that can be completely and effectively utilized in a capsule. CP capsules lower the cost of filtration and reduce the need for high cost metallic housings. They are well suited for liquids and gas applications with the same attention to quality, traceability, validation and testing.

Certificate of Quality Assurance is provided with every Food, Electronic and Pharmaceutical Capsule

Specifications

Grade Definition

 N/A Food and beverage grade capsules have been designed to comply with all FDA requirements for the food industry. Each module is flushed with 17+ megohm-cm water to ensure that no manufacturing debris remains downstream to contaminate your product. This washing also ensures that all extractables which may effect the taste of the product are removed. F grade capsules are designed to give maximum throughput and handle cleaning and sanitization protocols well. Each cartridge module is individually tested for integrity.

Filtration Media

N/A Polypropylene - PD

PD 100% pleated depth polypropylene capsules are designed for general purpose use wherever a cost effective pleated depth filter is required. Rated at 99.9% efficiencies at the rated pore size offered in a complete range of microns to serve the needs of the beverage, electronic and pharmaceutical industries. Used for wine and beverage clarification, chemicals, process water, air and gases. PPD grade capsules are designed to be used as pre-filters and nonsterilization grade Filters in the pharmaceutical industry. Special attention was give in the design of these cartridges to ensure long life as well as superior retention. Each module is flushed and tested.

USP Biosafety

N/A The materials used to construct the membrane capsule filters are non-toxic and meet the requirements for the MEM Elution Cytotoxicity Test and USP24 Plastic Class V1 121ºC Test.

Quality Standards

N/A Our goal is to ensure our customers the greatest possible value for their filtration dollar. We achieve both low cost manufacture and high quality by employing state of the art manufacturing equipment. This computer controlled equipment is highly automated, reducing hand operations that compromise quality. Each operation including assembly, testing, cleaning, drying and packaging is done in appropriately rated clean rooms. Critical Process Filtration manages an ISO 9000 facility that produces validated products to rigorous standards. Manufacturing is controlled using sophisticated MRP software that is networked to work stations in manufacturing centers and inspection points. During the manufacturing and inspection processes, data is collected “real time” from machinery and measuring instruments. This allows variable and attribute data to be quickly and easily analyzed to facilitate constant improvements in both quality and cost.

Total Performance

N/A Critical Process Filtration, Inc.® is a vertically integrated supplier of filtration products and services to industries in which filtration is considered to be a critical part of the manufacturing process. We manufacture a complete line of products to help you achieve all your filtration requirements from a single source.

Flow Rate

N/A See the Flow Rate table in more image which represents typical water flow at a one psi (69 mbar) pressure differential across a single 2 inch capsule 1.0 ft2 (930 cm2) of media with 1/2" FNPT ports. The test fluid is water at ambient temperature. Higher pressure drops is acceptable, but as flows increase the pressure drop of the housing becomes more apparent.
