BECO Standard
The BECO Standard depth filter sheets have superior clarification performance for reliable removal from particles to microorganisms due to optimal pore structure and adsorption.
These filter sheets cover filtration grades from 4.0 µm to 0.1 µm nominal rating in applications such as beer, biotechnology, cosmetics, food, fruit juices, wine and more.
FILTER MATERIAL
Cellulose with mineral components
RETENTION
Coarse, clarifying,, fine filtration; Microbial reduction and removal
MAX. OPERATING TEMPERATURE
FDA, EC1935
Core features
- Ideal pore structure for reliable retention of the components to be separated
- Use of high-quality raw materials for high clarification performance
- Economic service life through high dirt-holding capacity
- Comprehensive quality control of all raw and auxiliary materials
- In-process monitoring ensures consistent quality
Microbe Reduction and Removal
BECO Steril S 100, Steril S 80, Steril 60, Steril 40 – depth filter sheets with a high germ retention rate.
These sheet types are particularly suitable for cold-sterile bottling or storing of liquids. The high germ retention rate is achieved through the fine-pored structure of the depth filter sheet and an electrokinetic potential with an adsorptive effect. Due to their high retention capacity for colloidal ingredients, these sheet types are particularly suitable as prefilters for subsequent membrane filtration.
Microbe Reduction and Fine Filtration
BECO SD 30, KDS 15, KDS 12, KD 10, KD 7, KD 5 – depth filter sheets for achieving a high degree of clarification.
These sheet types reliably retain ultra-fine particles and have a germ-reducing effect, making them particularly suitable for haze-free filtering of liquids prior to storing and bottling.
Clarifying Filtration and Coarse Filtration
BECO KD 3, K 2, K 1 – depth filter sheets with large-volume cavity structure.
These depth filter sheets have a high holding capacity for particles and are especially suitable for clarifying filtration applications.
