Beco Protect XS

Summary

Product identification

BECO PROTECT XS is a depth filter cartridge featuring innovative inside-out flow technology. This design minimizes product loss during type changeover and at the end of production, allowing the housing to be drained easily and completely. It is particularly suitable for very small quantities and high-quality products in the beverage and food industries.

Characteristics and Advantages:

• Minimum product loss when draining of the housing
• Approx. 30 % longer filter service life through greater fine fleece area
• Improved product filterability
• Ideal for suspended installation, since no residue filter is required
• Faster flushing uses up to 30 % less rinsing water
• High chemical resistance by using 100 % polypropylene

Operating limits

• Diameter: 70 mm
• Maximum operating temperature: 80 °C
• Maximum differential pressure:
  • 4.0 bar at 25 °C
  • 2.0 bar at 80 °C
• Steam sterilization: Max. 1 bar (121 °C) for 30 minutes
• Chemical regeneration/sterilization: Can be sterilized with conventional chemical cleaners

Mechanical / hydraulic

Flow capacity curves for 10" elements with water at 20 °C are provided in the official PDF, illustrating differential pressure across various flow rates and retention ratings. See the official PDF for detailed flow capacity curves.
