Fiberglass Depth Capsule Filter (Food & Beverage Grade) – FGD
Click here for more information The FGDXFDC Filter features pleated fiberglass depth media designed for high-throughput clarification and prefiltration of aqueous liquids in food, beverage, and industrial applications. With a 99% retention efficiency and high contaminant-holding capacity, FGDX filters are suitable for both critical and general service use where fiber-free effluent is required. The fibrous construction allows for excellent flow rates, reduced loading on downstream filters, and potential cleaning and reuse in specific applications. Available in capsule and cartridge configurations, FGDXFDC is built using identical materials across sizes to ensure consistent performance at all scales. Key Features: • Pleated Fiberglass Depth Media: Engineered for clarification and high particle loads • High Throughput: Fibrous matrix supports fast flow and reduced changeouts • FDA & EC Compliant: Certified safe for repeated food contact • Clean and Reusable: In some applications, cartridges can be rinsed and reused • Consistent Across Scale: Identical materials used from lab to production Performance Parameters: • Max Operating Temp (Water): 180 °F at 30 psid (cartridge), 110 °F at 30 psid (capsule) • Forward Pressure Limit: 80 psid at 68 °F • Reverse Pressure Limit: 50 psid at 68 °F • Recommended Changeout: 35 psid Sterilization & Cleaning: • Autoclave: 250 °F (121 °C), 30 min, 25+ cycles • Inline Steam: 275 °F (135 °C), 30 min • Hot Water: 194 °F (90 °C), 30 min, max 3 psid forward • Compatible with H₂O₂, peracetic acid, bleach, etc. Filtration Area (Nominal): • 2" – 0.8 ft² (0.08 m²) • 5" – 2.3 ft² (0.22 m²) • 10" – 5.0 ft² (0.46 m²) • 20" – 10.0 ft² (0.92 m²) • 30" – 15.0 ft² (1.38 m²) • 40" – 20.0 ft² (1.84 m²) Construction Materials: • Filtration Media: Pleated fiberglass depth media • Support Cage & Core: Polypropylene • Media Support: Polyester • Sealing Method: Thermal bonding • O-Rings (Cartridges only): Buna, Viton® (FKM), EPDM, Silicone, FEP-encapsulated options Typical Applications: • Wine or Beer (clarification) • Soft Drinks • Bottled Water • Syrups • Cosmetics • Air & Gases
