First of all - we are pleased that you are reading our first blog post on the vipur Product Blog<\/b> and\n\u201cWelcome you to the World of Filtration and Separation\u201d! We, that is my employees and I - Wolfgang Steindl-Kratochvil founder and managing director of vipur GmbH - vienna purification.<\/p>\n

Our blog picture shows three different 16\" Single-Use depth filter capsules<\/b>. We would like to focus on\nthese in our first product article - with a few emotions and not with a simple table comparison of the\nadvantages and disadvantages.<\/p>\n
16" capsules are one of our favorite topics, as their introduction led to significant changes in the\nproduction sector and there is still an emotional debate about their use.<\/p>\n
We can draw on two pillars of our history in this area:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
First of all, it's all about concentration, precision, effort and work safety when fitting 16" modules.<\/p>\n
There is probably nothing more impressive for a filtration officer in the area of \"mass movement in\nproduction\" than lifting a 70kg 16\" stainless steel filter dome using a hoist. A 4-fold high 16\" filter\nhousing must then be fitted with modules via a central guide rod more than 1m high. The filter dome\nmust then be lowered back down over the modules using a hoist and the dome securely closed at the\nbottom of the housing. It is more physically challenging to lift a 2-fold high 16\" stainless steel filter\ndome over 16\" modules without a cable pull and without damaging the modules at the edges. We\nhave often experienced both and it is still impressive for us to see how many kilograms of stainless\nsteel are moved in everyday production.<\/p>\n
Due to our history, we have very often equipped pilot and production holders with capsules - especially\non a pilot scale. We can therefore say that the Single-Use system has clear advantages in terms of\nhandling and occupational safety. There is another benefit worth mentioning, namely the elimination of\ncleaning validation<\/strong>. I will never forget the statement from our engineering manager, who said: "The\ntwo points that are primarily checked externally are the management of change controls and cleaning\nvalidation." As we all know, these two areas are the most challenging in any process.<\/p>\n Further general advantages:<\/span><\/p>\n As there are no advantages without disadvantages, we will also list these:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n With ErtelAlsop MicroCap Pro\u2122, vipur has a 16" capsule series available in which the depth filter\nseries Micromedia\u00ae XL, DXL, PXL and MicroClear\u00ae activated carbon can be installed depending on\ncustomer requirements. Due to the internal structure of the capsules, both single and double-layer\ndepth filter media can be used. The capsule has two opposing handles and can be easily positioned in\nthe respective holder by hand.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n\n
