Food and Pharmaceutical Grade Filter Bags
Bag Filters, when used in food, beverage or pharmaceutical applications, must conform to EC directives governing plastics in contact with food. Migration limits of contaminants from polymers into a food product have been imposed, and independent testing and certification of component materials is required to ensure these regulations are satisfied. Stringent manufacturing and warehousing conditions as well as special packaging procedures are also required to eliminate other sources of contamination.
Allied Filter Systems Ltd. is a leading manufacturer of food and pharmaceutical grade filter bags which fully satisfy the above conditions. The constituent materials have been chosen for their purity, giving low levels of migration and ensuring consistant high quality and performance.
Additional Information
Combined with either of our positive sealing Welseal (polypropylene or polyester) welded rings, needlefelt food and pharmaceutical grade filter bags have a fully welded construction as standard. The external surface of the filter bag is glazed, eliminating any possibility of fibre migration into the filtrate. All filter bags are manufactured to ISO 9001 2000 quality standards. Further information on food and pharmaceutical grade products is available on request.
