ZCore Depth Filters

Featuring patented Z.Plex* Technology

Figure 1: ZCore using Z.Plex Technology

Features and Benefits

ZCore is manufactured using patented Z.Plex* fil-

ter technology and is engineered specifically for

high strength filtration. (See Figure 1) The patented

filter matrix of the ZCore provides unmatched per-

formance in these applications.

The ZCore filter composition incorporates small

diameter fibers and an innovative 3-dimensional

fiber matrix. The filter matrix maintains structural

integrity while greatly increasing the filter’s parti-

cle holding capacity and reducing pressure drop.

An additional polypropylene support core enhanc-

es strength and temperature resistance. This

unique construction allows for excellent removal

efficiency, high contaminant capacity and long

life.

Benefits:

• Greater contaminant capacity compared to filters

with equivalent removal efficiency

(Note: 90% re-

moval efficiency at rating using ASTM F-795 Re-

tention based on GE efficiency test protocol)

• High Temperature Capability (see Table 3)

• Melt-bonded exterior ensures no media migration

and helps prevent premature surface blinding

• Provides lower total cost of filtration operations

• FDA compliant

• Product meets criteria for USP Class VI

• High strength polypropylene core

• Resists contaminant unloading even at high dif-

ferential pressures

Typical Applications

• Elevated temperature uses such as hotwater san-

itizing in food and beverage processes, process

and chemical streams

• High viscosity fluids that require filter strength

under heavy loading and high pressure condi-

tions

• Applications that experience high pressure drop

Table 3: Operational Limits Maximum forward differential pressure 15 psid (1.03 bar) at 180°F (82°C) Maximum recommended change-out pressure 35 psid (2.41 bar) • ZCore cartridge filters may be autoclaved for 30 minutes at 250°F (121°C) under no end load conditions. The autoclaved cartridges must feature single open-end connections (222 o-ring with closed end). Filter cartridges should be allowed to cool to normal system operating temperatures prior to use.
