• Suitable for a broad range of applications, including food, beverage and pharmaceutical applications

Betafine™ DP series pleated polypropylene filters are available with absolute ratings from 0.2 to 70 microns. The all-polypropylene filter is used extensively on corrosive and non-corrosive process fluids, where broad chemical compatibility is required.

We manufacture Betafine™ DP series filter cartridges from 100% polypropylene and are pleated for increased surface area. To provide a structurally integral cartridge, the cartridge end cap adapters are thermally bonded to the inner core and outer cage as well as the pleated edge of the media and support materials. Multiple filter lengths, with various end cap adapters, are produced using the same thermal bonding technique. Our manufacturing eliminates the use of adhesives and housing adapters to provide users with a cost-effective alternative without housing change-out.

The Power of Pleated Performance

Our precision engineered, absolute rated, pleated filter provides dependable, repeatable filtration, improving effluent quality and helps provide consistent performance. The nature of pleated media also constitutes a greater surface area in less physical space and provides a longer service life compared to non-pleated media. Greater surface area leads to fewer filter change-outs and lower total filtration operating costs.

The greater surface area means higher flow rates with lower pressure drops, which yields exceptional throughput, reduced processing time and reduced processing costs. Our thermally bonded, 100% polypropylene construction affords extensive chemical and thermal compatibility and no media migration. FDA, CFR 21 listed materials of construction are suitable for a range of applications, including food, beverage and pharmaceutical applications.

Versatility

We make all of our Betafine™ DP Series filters to provide superior chemical resistance and durability in demanding process applications such as:
