Pall Advanta™ In-Line Liquid and Gas Filter Housings

The Pall Advanta range of filter housings has been specifically designed and engineered for today’s manufacturing processes. These advanced housings are manufactured from 316L stainless steeland are engineered to meet the requirements of the BioParmaceutical industry. State-of-the-art manufacturing technologies are used to construct a housing ideal for the most critical of applications.

Fine filtration of liquids and gases is a key part of many production processes.These Pall Advanta housings have been specifically designed to meet the many requirements of these demanding applications. Optimization of critical features during the design process has provided a housing range which ensures trouble-free use and low installation and maintenance costs. Areas included in this process were:

• Surface finish
• Suitability for CIP and SIP
• Integrity testing
• Incorporation into automated production processes

Gas Filtration: This housing style is suitable for use in the filtration of gases. The inline design ensures that the pressure drops are exceptionally low. Pall recommends using the cartridge pressure drop when calculating the system pressure drops. Please refer to the relevant cartridge literature or contact Pall.

²Full vacuum.
³With compatible fluids, which do not soften, swell or adversely affect the gasket materials.
⁴The flow and pressure drop characteristics refer to the empty housing only for water at 20 °C (68 °F). For other liquids multiply pressure drop by relative density. To obtain the total pressure drop of a complete filter assembly, the cartridge pressure drop must be added.
