5μm Polypropylene Capsule Filter

5μm Polypropylene Capsule Filter

5μm Polypropylene Capsule Filter is a single-use inline filter made entirely of polypropylene. Its 5μm melt-blown depth medium and PP housing are thermally bonded without glue, with coaxial hose barb ports to eliminate fluid dead zones. It operates under 0–60℃ and max 0.6MPa at 20℃, resisting weak acid, weak alkali and printing ink; particles over 5μm are trapped inside the medium. It is serially fitted between ink pumps and printheads of digital printing machines, replaced entirely when differential pressure rises over 0.25MPa to block resin aggregates and pipeline plastic debris.

Product Advantages

 

All-Polypropylene Construction

Housing, membrane, support layers, cage, and end caps are all manufactured from polypropylene. This homogeneous material construction eliminates compatibility issues between dissimilar materials and enables use across a broad range of solutions, pH levels, and temperatures.

 

Thermal-Bonded Sealing – No Adhesives

All components are assembled via thermal welding without glues, adhesives, or surfactants. This eliminates extractables from bonding agents and reduces the risk of leachables contaminating the filtrate.

 

High Dirt-Holding Capacity with Low Pressure Drop

The depth-type polypropylene media structure provides high contaminant loading capacity while maintaining low initial pressure drop. The pleated configuration maximizes effective filtration area-ranging from 148 cm² (2.5″ capsule) up to 5,500 cm² (10″ capsule).

 

Broad Chemical Compatibility>

All-polypropylene construction resists most acids, bases (pH 1–14), and common solvents. Suitable for filtering aqueous solutions, organic solvents, and aggressive chemical streams.

 

Autoclavable and Reusable (Up to 5 Cycles)

The capsule may be repeatedly autoclaved with steam at 121°C for 20 minutes for up to 5 cycles. Alternative sterilization methods include ethylene oxide (EtO) treatment.

 

Low Hold-Up Volume

Retention volume with air purge is less than 2 mL, minimizing product loss during filtration.

Everything You Need to Know

 

 

Q1: What is the difference between 5 μm and 0.2 μm capsule filters?

A: The 5 μm filter is a prefilter or clarification filter designed to remove larger particles and debris. The 0.2 μm filter is a sterile-grade final filterthat removes microorganisms. The 5 μm filter is typically installed upstream of a 0.2 μm filter to extend the final filter's service life by reducing its particle load.

 

Q2: Can this filter be sterilized?

A: Yes. The capsule can be autoclaved with steam at 121°C for 20 minutes for up to 5 cycles. Ethylene oxide (EtO) sterilization is also available.

 

Q3: What chemicals is this filter compatible with

A:The all-polypropylene construction provides broad chemical compatibility. It resists most acids, bases (pH 1–14), and common organic solvents. However, polypropylene can degrade when exposed to strong oxidizing agents or certain aggressive solvents-verify compatibility for your specific fluid before use.

 

Q4: Can I use this filter for gas filtration

A: Yes. Polypropylene is hydrophobic and can be used for vent air and process gas filtration. However, for sterile gas applications requiring 0.01–0.02 μm retention, use a PTFE membrane filter instead.
