3M Purification has designed the Sanitary High Flow system for a variety of applications in the beverage market.

The company says it is particularly effective in the bottling line filtration train within Australian wineries. With a complete sanitary design, the housing is fabricated from 316 stainless steel and is able to be steam sterilised in situ.

The housing offers a number of advantages over traditional ‘candlestick’ filtration: a compact housing means a smaller footprint within the production facility; high dirt-loading capacity for longer cartridge life; high flow rates mean less cartridges required and quicker change out times.

The cartridge is specifically designed to deliver high flow rates with a single cartridge capable of over 30,000 L/h. The cartridge is constructed from polypropylene and is approved by the US FDA for use in the food and beverage market. A ‘twist to lock’ motion ensures that a positive seal is achieved on installation and makes changing the cartridge a quick and simple process. The cartridge has a 99.9% removal efficiency rating ensuring clarity.

The housing is in a horizontal orientation which minimises any potential OHS risks associated with lifting used cartridges from traditional format housings. The housing itself can be connected into the production line with either a 3 or 4″ triclover connection.
