Sanitary Y-Type Strainers are commonly used in sanitary piping systems to mechanically remove solids from liquids or gases. Their compact, Y-shaped design allows them to be installed directly into pipelines, typically before pumps, meters, or valves, to protect them from damage by debris. Featuring easy-access covers for cleaning or replacing the screen, and built with polished internal surfaces and sanitary connections, these strainers provide cost-effective protection without compromising hygienic standards in many sanitary and utility applications.
Sanitary Inline Strainers (often basket strainers or similar straight-through designs) provide robust filtration for removing larger particulates from process streams in sanitary applications. Designed for installation directly in the pipeline, they feature a removable basket or screen that captures debris. With designs focused on smooth internal surfaces, minimal crevices, and quick-opening covers or clamps, sanitary inline strainers facilitate easy and frequent cleaning or basket changes, making them suitable for processes requiring protection from larger contaminants where space allows for straight-line flow.
Sanitary Compressed Air Filters are critical for ensuring the quality of compressed air and gases used in direct contact with products or in sterile environments (e.g., for purging, blanketing, or operating valves). These multi-stage filters remove particulate matter, oil aerosols, and moisture to specified purity levels. Constructed with sanitary housings, high-efficiency filter elements suitable for sterile filtration, and designed for hygienic connections and validation, they protect sensitive sanitary processes from contamination originating from the compressed air or gas supply.
Sanitary Bag Filters are versatile filtration systems used for removing larger volumes of solid contaminants from liquid process streams. They utilize disposable or reusable filter bags housed within a sanitary vessel. The design allows for high flow rates and simple bag replacement. Sanitary bag filters are constructed with polished interiors, minimal dead legs, and sanitary connections to ensure cleanability and prevent product buildup, making them suitable for bulk filtration duties, pre-filtration stages, or polishing applications where frequent filter changes may be required.
Sanitary Duplex Filters consist of two filter vessels (typically inline or basket strainers) integrated into a single system with diverting valves. This configuration allows the flow to be switched from one filter vessel to the other without interrupting the process flow. While one vessel is in operation, the other can be cleaned or have its filter element replaced. This makes sanitary duplex filters ideal for applications requiring continuous operation where downtime for filter maintenance is unacceptable, ensuring uninterrupted protection of the process stream while maintaining hygienic integrity.

Sanitary filtration equipment must meet strict hygiene standards, using 316L stainless steel for corrosion resistance and FDA/USDA compliance. It should ensure efficient particle removal (down to 0.5 µm), maintain high flow rates with minimal pressure drop, and allow easy in-line cleaning. Equipment must withstand operational pressures (up to 150 psi), support sterilization (e.g., steam at 250°F), and be durable for continuous use in food, beverage, and pharma processes.
Yes, sanitary filters can remove bacteria when equipped with fine filter media, such as 0.2 µm or 0.45 µm membranes, commonly used in sterile filtration for food and pharma applications. These filters, often made of PES or PVDF, trap bacteria while maintaining flow, ensuring product purity. Regular validation and integrity testing (e.g., bubble point tests) are required to confirm bacterial retention.
In sterile applications, a PES membrane filter with 0.2 μm pores is used for bacteria and microorganism retention. The filter is steamed or autoclaved, and all manipulations occur in an aseptic setting. The filter is mounted in a sanitary stainless steel case with clamp type joints. The filter must also have clean flow paths, proper flow direction, and proper sterility validation by integrity tests (including the diffusion test) before and after use in food or pharmaceutical processes.
Select a sanitary filter housing based on your application: 316L stainless steel for corrosion resistance and hygiene in food/pharma settings, with electropolished finish (Ra < 0.8 µm). Ensure compatibility with filter media (e.g., 0.5 µm to 2000 µm), flow rate (e.g., 360 GPM for duplex), and pressure rating (up to 150 psi). Choose designs with sanitary clamps for easy cleaning and maintenance.
For sanitary filtration systems, 316L stainless steel is the best material due to its superior corrosion resistance, durability, and compliance with FDA/USDA standards for food, beverage, and pharma applications. It withstands harsh cleaning (e.g., CIP/SIP at 250°F) and prevents bacterial growth when electropolished (Ra < 0.4 µm). For filter media, PES or PVDF membranes are ideal for sterile filtration.
