IFAB Filter sheets are widely used in the filtration of products where they give outstanding clarity andstability combined with long sheet life and integrity. Typical applications of the IFAB Filter sheets include filtration of spirits, wines, beers and lagers where long life, sterility, stability and clarity are essential. There is also a wide acceptance in the filtration of chemicals and pharmaceuticals.

Filter sheets are made by cellulose fiber and one or more filter aids such as, activated carbon, diatomite and/or perlite. By making the filter aid into a sheet one can draw from the strength or different filteraids but at the same time avoid the handling of powders. Depth filter sheets are used to remove particles from liquids. This means that liquids can be clear-, fine- or sterile-filtered. Filter sheets are ideal for higher particle load filtration, where mere surface filters such as membranes do not provide enough life-time. With a thickness of 3–4 mm, millions of microparticles can be trapped in every square meter of filter area. The sheets come in all shapes and sizes to fit all the standard filter presses on the market.

Lenticular Cartridges

12” and 16” lenticular cartridges are becoming more and more favored on the market. One of the advantages of this type of filter sheets is the lower cost of equipment and minimal loss of material.
