FCWPS Filter Cartridges have been designed to comply
with all FDA requirements for the food industry. FCWPS
cartridges are hydrophilic and manufactured with high
capacity polyethersulfone (PES) membrane. They are used to
remove organic and other contamination as part of the critical
clarification and filling filtration processes for wine, beer, bottled
water and aseptically packaged products like juices. To protect
system quality, FCWPS filters also see service in removing organic
and other contaminants from process water and clean in place
solutions used in piping and other systems. Cartridge modules
from each manufacturing lot are tested to ensure integrity before
release of the lot from manufacturing, assuring that the filters will
retain particles at the rated pore size.
