Beco Protect PB

Summary

Product identification

BECO PROTECT PB Filter Cartridges are depth filter cartridges made of thermally bonded, melt-blown polypropylene filter material. They are designed for pre-filtration of beverages and coarse filtration of wine, beer, water, and other liquids.

Characteristics and Advantages

• High dirt holding capacity
• Low differential pressure
• High chemical resistance
• Pressure surge resistance

Materials

• Filter material: polypropylene micro-fibers
• End caps/adapters: polyethylene

All polypropylene materials meet FDA requirements according to 21 CFR § 177.1520. The materials ensure product-neutral filtration without adsorption or particle migration.

Operating limits

• Max. operating temperature: 65 °C (149 °F)
• Max. differential pressure:
  • 3.2 bar (46.4 psid) at 20 °C (68 °F)
  • 1.2 bar (17.4 psid) at 60 °C (140 °F)

Mechanical / hydraulic

• Diameter: 63 mm (2.48 in)
• Inside diameter: 28 mm (1.18 in)
