Depth Filtration
BECO PROTECT® FS

Depth Filter Cartridges

BECO PROTECT FS FineStream depth filter

cartridges are innovative depth filter cartridges
with a special design that increases the filter area.
The variable flow of the BECO PROTECT FS depth
filter cartridge is also special. This can be adjusted
to flow from outside to inside or, if the inlet and
outlet ends on the housing are reversed, from
inside to outside. The filtering effect remains the
same.
The BECO PROTECT FS depth filter cartridge is
used in the beverage industry.

Features and Benefits

- High retention for a reliable separation effect,
ß ratio ≥ 5000 or ≥ 99.98% efficiency for defined
particles
- Outstanding protection for subsequent membrane
Materials
filtration thanks to the fine, newly developed filter
material (0.2 µm) and thus an increased Filter material: Polypropylene

- Variable flow
O-rings: Silicone (standard)
- Minimum product loss with flow from inside to
outside The plastic components meet the requirements of
Directive 10/2011/EC and amendments. All materials
- Backwashable at up to 29 psig (200 kPa, 2 bar) at
used meet the FDA requirements according to
176 °F (80 °C)
21 CFR § 177.1520.
- High chemical resistance by using 100%
polypropylene

Configuration
BECO PROTECT FS depth filter cartridges are made
from high-quality, special pleated polypropylene layers.
The cage and core of polypropylene ensures maximum
mechanical stability. All materials used ensure product-
neutral filtration without adsorption or particle
migration.
