Integrity Test Information
FPD Pleated Depth Filter Cartridges have been designed to
comply with all FDA requirements for the food industry. These
cartridges have been rinsed with high purity (18+ megohm-cm)
water to ensure that manufacturing debris will not to contaminate
your product. This washing also ensures that extractables that
may affect the taste of the product or other characteristics such
as foaming or brightness are removed. FPD Cartridges have 99.9%
retention efficiency at the rated pore size and are designed to give
maximum throughput because of our unique graded density
construction. This design also allows for filter cleaning and re-use
in some applications.
