Emflon PFRW junior style sterile compressed air filter cartridges are sterilizing grade hydrophobic membrane filters designed to provide reliable retention of bacteria and bacteriophages in compressed gas and vent applications. They are suited to handle small gas flow rates in compact installations.
The Pall Emflon PFRW filter family has been expanded to include small configurations to address the full range of gas filtration needs of the food and beverage industry. These sterile compressed gas filter elements feature Pall’s advanced 0.2 micron polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) double-layer membranes, pleated with high area into single open-end cartridges. They are built to withstand adverse in-situ steaming conditions in either the forward or reverse direction.
Even in the presence of high humidity or moisture, often the case in practice, Emflon PFRW cartridges provide sterile effluent and validated performance, ensuring process security. They are the cartridge of choice for small flow critical sterile gas applications.

| Features | Benefits |
| Strongly hydrophobic 100% PTFE membranes | Prevents wetting out in humid conditions, even after repeated use and steaming cycles, allowing for unimpeded gas throughput |
| High area pleated, robust double-layer membranes | High throughputs and low pressure drops, resulting in compact footprint and long life Excellent resistance to mechanical damage |
| Multi-cycle in situ steam challenged | Enhanced steaming resistance |
| 0.2 micron sterilizing grade filters based on liquid bacteria removal | Provides sterile effluent even in humid conditions, resulting in optimal protection of product, improved fermentation yields, and increased security in aseptic processes |
| Water Intrusion Testable (WIT) | Simplifies in situ integrity testing |
| 100% integrity tested prior to dispatch | Documented quality |
| Individually serialized modules | Full traceability to materials and production records |
