Food and Beverage SUPRApak™ SW Series Modules

For High Throughput Depth Filtration in
Closed Systems

SUPRApak SW series depth filter modules set a new standard

for enclosed sheet filtration, providing exceptional throughput
and removal performance.

Description
Developed from traditional depth filtration technology, SUPRApak
modules efficiently combine the filtration mechanisms of surface
filtration, depth filtration and adsorption. Highly unique to their
design is an entirely new flow configuration, based on the “edge
flow” principle.

Seitz® filter sheet material is wrapped around a central,

permeable core. Feed and filtrate channels provide a fluid flow
path resulting in maximum utilization of the sheet material, to
provide highly efficient contaminant removal and a cost-effective
closed system alternative to flat sheet filtration. SUPRApak SW Series Modules

SUPRApak S, M, L SW 7700 ambient

3 Compatible fluids are those which do not adversely affect the filter materials of
construction.
4 Laboratory tests up to 8 hours exposure. Actual field experience shows

substantially longer resistance to high temperatures. For continuous hot fluid

applications over 40° C (104° F), a stainless steel support core is required. Please
see SUPRApak housing data sheet for information.

Operating Guidelines
Field experience shows that maximum achievable differential
pressures vary with the applications and product selection.
They are determined by monitoring filtrate quality, and are
influenced by several factors. Please contact Pall for details,
and refer to SUPRApak module instructions for use.
