Filtration components for manufacturers of food, beverage and pharmaceutical equipment
Sterile filter elements, process filter cartridges and leak-proof filter plates for builders of hygienic process equipment.
Equipment for food, beverage and pharmaceutical production places particular demands on filtration: product safety, hygienic design, defined separation and compatibility with cleaning and sterilisation processes. R+F FilterElements supplies equipment manufacturers with filter elements and filter plates for these applications — and develops custom elements where your machine requires a specific geometry or connection.
Typical OEM applications
Where our components are used in hygienic process equipment.
Sterile and final filtration
Sterile filter elements for liquids and gases in hygienic processes.
Pre- and process filtration
Filter cartridges protecting downstream sterile filters and equipment.
Filter presses
CGR filter plates with O-ring sealing for leak-critical hygienic applications.
Special processes
Round plates and phosphor bronze plates for special applications.
What matters in hygienic process equipment
- Reliable, defined separation performance for product safety.
- Compatibility with cleaning and sterilisation processes.
- Tightness to avoid product loss and contamination.
- Suitable materials for contact with the product.
- Reproducible quality and documentation for series supply.
Staged filtration protects the sterile filter
In hygienic processes, the sterile filter is usually the most valuable element of the filtration chain. A matched prefiltration stage extends its service life considerably. We design the filtration chain together with you — from prefilter to final filter.
Scope
Development, prototypes and series production are handled per project. Minimum quantities are clarified on request; matching filter housings are available on request. Specific documentation and material requirements are clarified per project.
Frequently asked questions
Which filter elements do you supply for hygienic equipment?
Sterile filter elements, process filter cartridges and, for filter presses, CGR filter plates with O-ring sealing.
Can elements be adapted to our machine connection?
Yes. Custom geometries, connections and end caps are developed per project.
How are documentation requirements handled?
Specific documentation and material requirements are clarified per project at the start of the development.
Developing hygienic process equipment?
Describe your machine and the filtration task in the OEM assessment — we do not need a complete specification.
