PTFE Capsule Filters
The PoreCap® series of PTFE capsule filters are sterile grade filtration devices designed to meet the stringent demands of pharmaceutical and food & beverage industries, as these filters guarantee sterile filtration for air and gas applications.
Assembled with our sterilizing-grade PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) membranes, the PTFE capsule filters are the most recommended filters for Tank Venting and Air Filtration applications as they ensure optimized pressure in the tank while ensuring sterility in the tank.
Manufactured in-house in ISO Class 8 cleanrooms and designed with a unique construction structure & an advanced pleating technology, these PTFE capsule filters are 100% integrity tested and ensure optimized sterilization of air/gases.
Membrane Characteristics: The PoreCap® PTFE Capsule filters incorporate hydrophobic PTFE membrane that offers high flow rates, a high number of sterilization cycles, and excellent chemical resistance in a variety of applications.
