Donaldson Introduces Next-Generation Sterile Air Filters

New P-SRF technology delivers better performance and greater
cost-efficiency

MINNEAPOLIS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Donaldson Company, Inc. (NYSE: DCI), a leading worldwide manufacturer of
filtration systems and parts, has introduced the next generation of
sterile air filters with its new P-SRF line. The advanced technology of
P-SRF filters lowers production costs while improving the purity of air
used in product processing and packaging.

The P-SRF filter line includes two new variations: P-SRF V, a
borosilicate depth media suitable for final filtration of processes and
venting applications; and P-SRF X, a pleated PTFE final membrane filter
in a strong stainless-steel housing designed for extreme conditions and
temperatures. Both filters deliver the following advantages:

• A log reduction value of 7 or greater for bacteria, viruses, and
  particles (down to 3 nanometers) to improve product and process
  integrity.
• Mechanical stability and temperature resistance up to 392 degrees F
  (200degrees C).
• Extended life and reliability under extreme conditions, including
  Vapor Phase Hydrogen Peroxide (VPHP) and ozone sterilization—up to 150
  cycles for the P-SRF V and 200 cycles for the P-SRF X.
• Superior de-wetting characteristics for faster filter drying times.
  This minimizes the downtime needed for clean-in-place (CIP) and
  sterilization-in-place (SIP) cleaning, and gets production back online
  faster.

When combined, these advances greatly decrease production downtime and
maintenance costs in facilities that use sterile compressed air to make
products ranging from food and beverages to pharmaceuticals and medical
products.

“P-SRF filters are a big leap forward in producing sterile air,” said
Chris Lehmann, North American product manager for Donaldson Company’s
Process Filtration division. “The technology delivers better performance
and a lower cost of ownership.”

The P-SRF V will replace the current P-SRF N filter elements from
Donaldson, while P-SRF X is an all- new PTFE membrane filter element
with proprietary media and a protective stainless-steel cage housing for
extreme conditions.

“Today’s production lines are under heavy demands,” says Lehmann. “These
two filters will keep manufacturing facilities up and running with lower
overall costs and greater reliability.”

All P-SRF filter elements comply with FDA CFR Title 21 as well as the
European Food Contact Regulation EC/1935/2004.
