The Process Housing Series "S"

In addition to their size, the fact that micro-organisms as "living organisms" are capable of multiplying very rapidly given the right conditions makes special demands on the sterile filter element as well as the sterile filter housing.
 
Therefore, the new ZANDER filter housing range is designed for the most critical applications. 304 (optional 316L high-quality stainless steel, highly-polished surfaces and the elimination of edges and corners offer a high degree of biological safety when sterilizing air and other compressed gases.
 
Special attention has been paid to the location of the element. Unlike traditional plug-in adapters with a single internal 'O' ring or two external 'O' rings, a special "Click-Lock" (Code 7) system was developed for the new series S housings.
 
Two external 'O' rings together with a bayonet insure that the element is safely installed. Thus the risk of bypass and bacteria formation around the 'O' ring is greatly minimized.
 
The design of the new housing series guides the air/gas flow into the filter element without any turbulence. The result is minimal pressure drop across the filter housing and filter elements and therefore a considerable reduction of operating cost is realized.
 
With the pleated filter series HB and the steam filter Series D and HCD, nearly all requirements for modern, safe and cost-effective filtration can be met.

VALIDATE SERIES HB : The Filtration Revolution


Demands for the sterilization of compressed air and gas in the food industry, dairies and breweries are continuously increasing. Complete retention of micro-organisms such as bacteria, viruses and bacteriophages, the largest possible filter area, low differential pressure and high cost effectiveness are standard requirements that a filter must meet.
 
As a solution for this application range, ZANDER specially developed the SERIES HB filter element with an absolute retention rate of 0.01 micron in gas and compressed air. With the help of the pleated depth media with a void volume of 95% (PTFE: 85%; PVDF: 67%) the flow rate may be increased several times while maintaining a low differential pressure.
 
ZANDER's unique pleated SERIES HB has many advantages. The high particle retention capacity increases the life of the SERIES HB filter element while at the same time reducing operating costs. Heat-stabilized polypropylene together with an internal stainless steel core result in high mechanical stability and the hydrophobic PTFE-impregnated filter medium protects against the wetting of the filter medium with condensate or wet steam. SERIES HB filter elements are revolutionizing sterile air filtration. They offer the user the most cost-efficient and reliable filtration.

VALIDATE SERIES ST-R : Improvement on a Standard


Three layers of the microfiber filter medium between Nomex® supporting material prevent the penetration of micro-organisms and insure added filter stability. Because Nomex® is a hydrophobic material, filtration integrity is enhanced even after a steam sterilization cycle.
 
Between the stainless steel support cylinders, the filter layer is secured with epoxy resin to the stainless steel end caps. Utilizing epoxy potting compound in lieu of silicone results in a SERIES ST-R filter element of exceptional stability, highest possible efficiency and longer service life for total safety under critical process conditions.
 
SERIES ST-R filter elements are particularly suited to high temperature applications. ST-R elements meet the requirements for sterile compressed air/gas and "Bio-Burden Reduction" in dairies, breweries and other food industries, as well as particle-free systems in high-tech manufacturing.
 
Filter elements of the ST-R SERIES are available for existing ZANDER filter housings and also as replacement filter elements for housings produced by other manufacturers.

SERIES D and DS : Clean Steam


In many areas of the food and pharmaceutical industries, vessels, piping and filter systems are sterilized by steam. If not properly filtered, the steam required to sterilize these systems may contain a considerable amount of rust, particulate or other pipe-scale. The resulting contaminated steam may cause serious faults in the system. If the steam is contaminated, the life of valves, filters and other ancillary equipment is shortened.
 
ZANDER SERIES D and DS steam filters prevent the systems from being contaminated and thus increase the lives of adjoining equipment. ZANDER SERIES D and DS steam filters consist of porously sintered stainless steel that ensures the effective retention of particles. The filter elements show excellent chemical resistance and mechanical stability due to their special design. Using ZANDER SERIES D and DS steam filter can considerably reduce the post-filtration costs of your system.
