Product Information

Aquasart® Plus filter cartridges feature a high-performance, double-layer pleated hydrophilic Polyethersulfone membrane. Specially developed for the filtration of water and non-carbonated drinks. Aquasart® Plus filter cartridges guarantee the highest biological product safety in combination with enhanced total throughput performance.

Applications

Aquasart® Plus membrane filter cartridges are used for final filtration prior to bottling for products, such as the following:

  • Non-carbonated water
  • Near water beverages

Performance

Aquasart® Plus filter cartridges incorporate a special double layer membrane. This new combination, coarse perfilter membrane followed by a final membrane, has been developed to meet the demanding process requirements in terms of high total throughput performance. In combination with an optimally designed prefilter, Aquasart® Plus achieves maximum service life performance and minimizes filtration costs.

Safety

Aquasart® Plus filter cartridges guarantee highest microbiological safety, which can be checked before and after every use with an integrity test.

Quality

Aquasart® Plus membrane filters are designed and manufactured according to an ISO 9001 certified quality management system. All raw materials which are used to produce Aquasart® Plus are in accordance with EU regulation 1935/2004/EC or are listed in the Regulations (EU) No. 10/2011 relating to plastic materials and article intended to come into contact with food.
