Description
Polygard®-CR products are nominally rated filters designed for particle removal applications in liquids and gases. The graded-density depth structure of Polygard-CR filter media provides maximum filtration capacity, and the all-polypropylene construction offers low extractables levels and broad chemical compatibility.
Polygard-CR cartridge filters provide high throughput with minimal differential pressure. Cartridges are robust, strong, resilient and are designed to withstand multiple steam-in-place cycles.
Typical Applications
Polygard-CR high-efficiency cartridge filters, composed of graded density polypropylene media are widely used in the beverage industry for liquid and gas filtration applications to protect tighter filters.
Regulatory Compliance
Polygard-CR filters are designed, developed, and manufactured in accordance with a Quality Management System approved by an accredited registering body to an ISO® 9000 Quality Systems Standard and are shipped with a Certificate of Quality. Each cartridge filter is supported by a Validation Guide for compliance with regulatory requirements.
For traceability and easy identification, each filter is marked with identifying characteristics.
Multiple Formats Available
A full range of filtration areas is available to suit varying application requirements. A variety of connection options are offered for easy adaptation to existing housings. The small scale filter capsules are available as a selection tool when evaluating several media configurations for use in clarifying process fluids. These devices have been developed to minimize hold-up volume when evaluating multiple media configurations.
