Sanitary Metal Filter Housings with Cartridge for Food and Beverage Steam Lines



Remove contaminants, moisture, and other particles from steam that will touch food and for final filtering in pharmaceutical, biotech, and electronics applications. The cartridge in these housings filters out 98% of particles as small as 1 micron and 100% of particles as small as 2 microns. That’s why they meet 3-A’s accepted practice for creating culinary-grade steam, which is often used in steam-in-place (SIP) cycles to sanitize equipment, and for applications such as blanching. They’re FDA compliant for direct contact with food, and also meet pharmaceutical equipment design standards.
All are made of 316 stainless steel, so frequent washdowns with harsh cleaners and sanitizers won’t corrode them, and they withstand steam. These housings are designed to sanitary standards; they’re 3-A certified 10-04 and meet ASME BPE. They have rounded edges and highly polished interior and exterior surfaces, minimizing the spots where bacteria could grow. For the same reason, they don’t have horizontal ledges—liquid completely drains off.
They connect to your line with two quick-clamp fittings that are easy to take apart for cleaning and line reconfiguration. Each fitting is tightly sealed with an EPDM gasket, which has excellent resistance to steam.
Cartridges can be cleaned and reused, but after six cleanings you should replace them to maintain high performance.

Sanitary Compressed Air Filters for Oil, Particle, and Bacteria Removal
Remove bacteria, viruses, moisture, and other particles from compressed air and gases used in food, pharmaceutical, biotech, and electronics applications. These air filters catch 99.99% of particles as small as 0.003 microns. That’s why they meet 3-A’s accepted practice for creating sterile air, which is used in applications such as tank ventilation, pharmaceutical packaging, and beer fermentation. They’re FDA compliant for direct contact with food, and also meet pharmaceutical equipment design standards.
Designed for sanitary areas, these air filters are 3-A certified 10-04 and meet ASME BPE. Their housing and filter element are stainless steel, so frequent washdowns with harsh cleaners and sanitizers won’t corrode them. They can also be sterilized in an autoclave or using steam in sterilize-in-place (SIP) procedures. To make sure water and cleaning liquids drain off, these air filters don’t have any horizontal ledges. The smooth, polished sides and rounded edges minimize spots where bacteria could grow.
These air filters have two quick-clamp fittings, which are easy to remove for cleaning and access to your line. Each fitting has an EPDM gasket for a tight seal and excellent resistance to steam.
To maintain high performance, replace the filter element every 150 cycles.
