FPS Filter Cartridges have been designed to comply with all FDA
requirements for the food industry. Polyethersulfone (PES) is
low protein binding and therefore a good choice for fermented
beverage filtration. FPS Membrane Filter Cartridges are flushed
with high purity water to remove manufacturing debris and
protect your product. This washing also ensures that extractables
which may affect the taste of the product are removed. FPS
filters are designed to give maximum throughput and handle
cleaning and sanitization protocols well. Each cartridge module
is individually tested to ensure integrity before release from
manufacture and will retain all particles at the rated pore size.
