Bioklaris - BCM

- Easy integrity testable in situ
- High effective filtering area with SE-TECH technology
- Steamable in situ
- Thermowelded construction
- Sanitizable & cleanable

BIOKLARIS BCM is a filter especially designed for the beverage market
with the target to simplify and speed up the in situ test integrity operation. The media in polyethersulfone combine with the pleating SE-TECH technology provides high performance in operating life as well as the high flow rate.
Bioklaris filter elements are repeatable steamable or sanitized with chemicals; they assure the retention of unwashed micro-organisms upstream the beverage bottling.
Fabrication is completed in a controlled environment, the manufacturing process includes rigorous tests to assure filter element integrity.
