Vent-Rite
Pleated PTFE Membrane Vent Filter
Vent-Rite hydrophobic filters are sterilizing PTFE membrane filters. Vent-Rite PTFE membrane provides the highest levels of security in demanding air and gas applications.
Vent-Rite PTFE membrane filters are designed to remove microorganisms, particulate and moisture. Strainrite's optimized design ensures exceptional gas flow rate and throughput for the Biopharmaceutical, food and beverage markets. Vent-Rite filters are designed for applications that require particulate security to 0.003μ in gas and air and 0.2μ in liquids. Strainrite delivers value and security.
Vent-Rite meets USP Biological Reactivity Test Criteria, is Non fiber releasing, and manufactured to withstand multiple sterilization cycles, when using industry recognized and accepted methods.
