LifeASSURE™ BBA Sterile Filters
Sterile filtration engineered for food & beverage lines
Extend service life, improve throughput, and maintain microbial safety with a proven cartridge design trusted across breweries, wineries, and food plants. To break it down further, here’s a quick summary:
BBA Filter Summary
- Membrane: Asymmetric hydrophilic PES (polyethersulfone), dual‑layer with upstream PP microfiber.
- Retention: 0.45 µm and 0.65 µm absolute, validated for spoilage microorganism control.
- Sizes: 10″, 20″, 30″, 40″ cartridges (30″ most common).
- Connections: 226 twist lock with stainless spear tip.
- Seals: Silicone O‑rings standard; other options available.
- Life vs. BNA: ≥2× service life in beer applications compared to BNA045/BNA065.
Why process engineers choose BBA
- Reliable microbial control — dual‑layer PES + PP design delivers proven sterile filtration.
- Lower total cost — extended life means fewer changeouts, less downtime.
- Broad compatibility — stable with common cleaning and sanitization chemistries.
- Proven upgrade path — documented 2× longer service life in brewing compared to BNA series.
- Compliance ready — manufactured under ISO 9001:2015 with full lot traceability.
