What is the HFR Replacement High Flow Filter – Low Extractables Series mainly used for?
The Low Extractables Series is designed for liquid filtration applications where fluid cleanliness and low extractables are important. Typical applications include beer, dairy, bottled water, industrial pure water, and other high-purity liquid processes requiring reliable particle removal with minimal contribution from the filter materials.
Why is PTFE filter media used in this low-extractables high flow cartridge?
PTFE filter media provides reliable fine particle retention together with good chemical stability and low extractables. This makes it suitable for applications where maintaining fluid purity is important. Final suitability should still be confirmed according to the process fluid, temperature, chemical composition, contact time, and actual operating conditions.
How do I choose the right micron rating for this Low Extractables Series?
The correct micron rating depends on the particle size to be removed, required downstream cleanliness, feed contamination level, flow rate, and allowable differential pressure. Available ratings range from 0.1 to 10 μm, allowing the cartridge to be selected for finer filtration and polishing duties in food, beverage, and pure water systems.
Can this cartridge be used in food, beverage, and pure water applications?
Yes. The series is intended for applications such as beer, dairy, bottled water, and industrial pure water filtration. However, final suitability should be confirmed against the actual process requirements, fluid composition, operating temperature, required product quality, and applicable validation or compliance requirements.
What operating limits should be considered for this cartridge?
The listed maximum operating temperature is 80°C, and the maximum differential pressure is 2.0 bar at 20°C. Actual allowable conditions should also consider the process fluid, selected micron rating, flow rate, and system configuration. Pressure and temperature should be evaluated together before final selection.
Can this Low Extractables cartridge replace my existing 3M HFR high flow filter?
It is designed as a replacement solution for 3M HFR-type high flow applications, but dimensional compatibility should still be verified before installation. Key factors include cartridge length, outer diameter, sealing interface, flow direction, and housing dimensions. The listed lengths are 20", 40", and 60", with outer diameters of approximately 158–164 mm.
