Ultipor® N66 Filter Cartridges

For Microbial Reduction and Retention

Ultipor N66 filter cartridges are specifically engineered for

microbial stabilization of food and beverage products.

Description
Ultipor N66 filters incorporate pleated nylon 6,6 media into
single open ended (SOE) cartridges to fit in sanitary filter
housings. These elements provide reliable, economical and
efficient microbial stabilization for a broad range of food and
beverage applications.

Ultipor N66 filters are suitable for exposure to repeated hot

water and in situ steam sanitization cycles for longer
service life.
