Flotrex GF CFGF capsules

Summary

Product identification

Flotrex GF capsule filters (CFGF) are constructed with durable acrylic resin bonded glass microfiber media, designed for superior performance in applications with excessive particle burden. They provide excellent protection for final membrane filters and serve as exceptional final filters where membrane filtration is not required.

• Features:
  • Acrylic resin-bonded glass microfiber media
  • Reliable particle retention
  • Excellent service life in applications with severe particle loads
  • Polypropylene structure for enhanced chemical resistance
  • Excellent protection for final membrane filters
  • Ideal for batch or small volume processes
• Typical Applications:
  • Pre-filtration for a wide variety of pharmaceuticals including serums, tissue culture media, and protein solutions
  • Pre- and final filtration of cosmetics
  • Pre-filtration of beverages
  • Final filtration of beverages that do not require membrane filtration
  • Filtration of compatible paints and coatings
• Available Absolute Micron Ratings: 0.45 µm, 1.0 µm, and 3.0 µm
• Materials of Construction:
  • Filtration Media: Acrylic Resin-Bonded Glass Microfiber
  • Support Layers: Polypropylene Microfiber
  • Structural Components: Polypropylene
• Certifications:
  • Materials meet U.S. FDA requirements for food contact under applicable regulations in 21 CFR.
  • Meets the test criteria for USP class VI-121ºC Plastics.

Operating limits

• Max. Operating Pressure:
  • 80 psi (5.5 bar) @ 70ºF (21ºC) in Liquid

  • Alternatively, filters may be sanitized with compatible chemical agents.

Mechanical / hydraulic

• Filter Dimensions:
  • Diameter: 3.5” (9 cm)
  • Capsule Size | Effective Filtration Area | Length**
  • Small | 0.5 ft² (465 cm²) | 3.5 – 5.0” (9 – 13 cm)
  • Medium | 1.9 ft² (1765 cm²) | 7.6 – 9.1” (19 – 23 cm)
  • Large | 3.7 ft² (3437 cm²) | 11.5 – 13.0” (29 – 33 cm) **Varies with connection style.
• Flow Performance: Test data results for flow performance in clean water are available for small, medium, and large Flotrex GF capsule filters (based on 10-inch length filter). See the official PDF for exact tabulated values.
