Vitipore II and Vitipore II Plus Cartridge Filters

Description

Vitipore™ II and Vitipore II Plus cartridges have a unique, patent-pending end cap and are built to support very demanding process conditions. Their mechanically robust design combined with high microorganism retention capabilities makes these filters uniquely suited for the microbiological stabilization of a variety of beverage products.

Vitipore II cartridges are constructed of a polyvinylidene fluoride Durapore® membrane with polypropylene molded components, offering broad chemical compatibility with commonly used sanitizing agents. The ability of these cartridges to withstand repeated cleaning and sanitizing cycles leads to longer filter life and lower overall filtration costs.

Vitipore II Plus cartridges have an additional prefilter layer of cellulose esters for higher throughputs, longer filter life, and better performance, particularly in difficult-to-filter liquids with heavy particulate load or high colloidal content.
