ZCore

Summary

Product Identification

The ZCore filter, featuring Z.Plex* Technology, is a depth filter engineered for high-temperature applications.

Features and Benefits

• Greater contaminant capacity compared to filters with equivalent removal efficiency (90% removal efficiency at rating using ASTM F-795 retention, based on Veolia efficiency test protocol).
• Resists contaminant unloading even at high differential pressures.
• Engineered specifically for high-temperature filtration.
• Unique construction maintains structural integrity while significantly increasing dirt holding capacity.
• Polypropylene core greatly enhances strength and temperature resistance.
• Melt-bonded exterior ensures no media migration and prevents premature surface blinding.

Applications

• High temperature applications:
  • Food and beverage
  • Chemicals
  • Oil and gas
• High viscosity fluids filtration
• High pressure drop applications

Operating Limits

Maximum Operational Conditions

• Maximum forward differential pressure:
  • 15 psid (1.03 bar) at 180°F (82°C)
  • 25 psid (2.07 bar) at 150°F (66°C)
  • 60 psid (4.14 bar) at 86°F (30°C)
• Maximum recommended change-out pressure: 35 psid (2.41 bar)

Autoclaving

• ZCore can be autoclaved for 30 min at 250°F (121°C) under no end load conditions.
• Autoclaved cartridges must feature single open-end connections (222 o-ring with closed end).
• Filter cartridges should be allowed to cool to normal system operating temperatures prior to use.
