Beco Protect PP

Summary

Product identification

BECO-PROTECT PP pre-filter cartridges consist of a pleated polypropylene filter material with an exceptionally high retention rate of up to 99.9% of the specified separation rate. The support body and end caps are made from polypropylene and are thermoplastically bonded. These cartridges are optimized for pre- and fine filtration of liquids, offering high unfiltrate retention capacities, long dwell times, and absolute separation rates.

Materials Used:

• Filter material: polypropylene
• Support fleeces: polypropylene
• Internal and external support body: polypropylene
• End caps/adapters: polypropylene
• O-rings: silicone (standard)

All materials meet the requirements of USP-XXII Class VI-121 °C and are thermoplastically bonded without adhesives. They also meet the requirements of the German Health Authority (BGA) and the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Separation Rates:

• PP006: 0.6 µm
• PP012: 1.2 µm
• PP025: 2.5 µm
• PP045: 4.5 µm
• PP065: 6.5 µm
• PP100: 10.0 µm
• PP200: 20.0 µm
• PP400: 40.0 µm
• PP600: 60.0 µm

Applications:

• wine, sparkling wine
• beer, mineral water
• cider
• liquid foods
• products of the pharmaceutical, cosmetics, chemical and electronics industries

Operating limits

• Max. operating temperature: 80 °C
• Recommended pressure difference for filter cartridge replacement: 2.5 bar
• Max. differential pressure: 5.0 bar at 25 °C
• Steam sterilization:

  • 50 h at 125 °C

  • 20 minutes min. at 125 °C after steam emerges from all openings
• Chemical sterilization: Possible with conventional chemical cleaners

Mechanical / hydraulic

• Diameter: 70 mm

Flow rates (Water, 10" element, 0.1 bar differential pressure):

• PP006: 450 l/h
• PP012: 800 l/h
• PP025: 3000 l/h
• PP045: 3700 l/h
• PP065: 4000 l/h
• PP100: 4200 l/h

For 20", 30", and 40" cartridge lengths, a maximum flow rate of 10,000 l/h applies.

Features and Advantages

• Large effective filter surface area through pleated filter material
• High unfiltrate retention capacity
• High retention rate through multi-layer filter structure
• High chemical resistance

Ordering Information

Cartridges are ordered using a code structure: PP [Separation rates] [Adapter] [Length] [Gasket]

Separation Rates:

• 006 = 0.6 µm
• 012 = 1.2 µm
• 025 = 2.5 µm
• 045 = 4.5 µm
• 065 = 6.5 µm
• 100 = 10.0 µm
• 200 = 20.0 µm
• 400 = 40.0 µm
• 600 = 60.0 µm

Adapter Codes:

• F = Code F (2 flat gasket)
• 0 = Code 0 (2-222 O-Ring)
• 2 = Code 28 (3 bayonet adapter with centering tip)
• 5 = Code 5 (2-222 O-Ring with centering tip)
• 7 = Code 7 (2-226 O-Ring 2 bayonet adapter with centering tip)

Length:

• 1 = 10"/25 cm
• 2 = 20"/50 cm
• 3 = 30"/75 cm
• 4 = 40"/100 cm

Gasket:

• S = silicon

Example: PP 006 F 1 S corresponds to a BECO-PROTECT PP pre-filter cartridge with 0.6 µm separation rate, Code F adapter, 10" length, and silicon gasket.

Safety, Disposal, and Storage

• Safety: No known unfavorable effects, safety-relevant information not required. No known risks to humans or the environment during storage, handling, and transport.
• Disposal: Should be treated as industrial waste, following local and official regulations.
• Storage: Store in original packaging, in a dry and odor-free place. Do not store near evaporating chemicals, oils, or fuels. Cartridges should be used within 2 years after delivery.
