Description
Strainrite’s Brevi-MAXX series of pleated filter cartridges offer a compact-size cartridge filter for smaller applications. Nearly all of our standard cartridge filter media, including membranes (PES polyethersulfone membrane, charged nylon, PTFE membrane and more) and pre-filtration materials (including polypropylene and glass fiber) can be placed into this 2.25” diameter configuration. This is an ideal format for smaller batches, lower flow rates, and smaller footprint compared to other traditional cartridges.
The smaller size of the Brevi-MAXX helps to reduce hold up and increase yield of valuable products compared to larger sized filters. Pilot plant trials easily scale up from this size to other formats. Utility applications where “drops” are made to various points-of-use might use a Brevi-MAXX filter at each POU. This is also a nice compact size for OEM equipment. Depending on the specifics of the application, this size filter might typically be used for liquid flow rates <2 lpm, compressed air flow rates of <25 SCFM or for tank venting at flow rates of <10 CFM. These filters also retrofit many competitors’ smaller housings.
The Brevi-MAXX comes in a variety of filtration media:
• Sterilizing grade PES membrane
• Bioburden reduction and prefiltration
• PES membrane
• Charged nylon for endotoxin
• Polypropylene microfiber for prefiltration
• Glass microfiber for pre-filtration
• PTFE vent filter
