SM (PES 20kDa)

PHT Sanitary Ultrafiltration Spiral-Wound Element:
SM (PES 20kDa)

Synder Filtration’s PHT Series of Ultrafiltration Elements offer exceptional physical and chemical durability, in the same wide range of MWCO’s as our standard UF elements. Contact us today to learn more about our complete line of membrane products and services.

SM is the intermediary PES-based ultrafiltration membrane between Synder’s ST and MK, and is also commonly used for specialty protein separation. Along with the other sanitary UF membranes, SM conforms to 3-A, FDA, and USDA sanitary standards and provides good resistance to pH and temperature as well as a high resistance to fouling. Other common applications skim milk protein concentrate/isolate production and beverage clarification.

PHT SERIES BENEFITS

Elimination of chlorine during CIP with hot sanitation
High resistance to pH, temperature, & fouling
Customizable dimensions for unique housings

COMMON APPLICATIONS

Specialty protein separation
Skim milk protein concentrate & isolate production
Beverage clarification

TECHNICAL NOTES

For element sizes not listed, please call or email Synder Filtration for details. We can design an element to fit your exact needs – just specify the element outer diameter (OD) or vessel/housing inner diameter (ID), element inner diameter (ID), and length. Elements are also available with or without a controlled bypass tail. Additional feed spacers are also available. Trials should be conducted to determine optimal application conditions.
