Kimberly-Clark Filtration Products Offers Fathom® Liquid Bag Filtration Media
Range of Filter Efficiencies Available With High Particle Capacities
ROSWELL, Ga. - Kimberly-Clark Filtration Products offers FATHOM® Liquid Bag Filtration Media for cleaner fluid streams in applications ranging from food and beverage manufacturing (compliant with FDA 21-CFR), to water treatment, chemical processing, and other scientific and industrial processes.
FATHOM® Liquid Filtration Media is chemically compatible with most liquid applications and does not contain binders that can interfere with fluid - chemistry. Its polypropylene/ polyethylene construction is chemically inert, with excellent bi-directional strength and abrasion resistance. In addition, its fibers are thermally bonded to prevent fiber shedding.
FATHOM® Liquid Bag Media is available in five performance levels designed to deliver the right efficiency to meet specific filtration needs:
o Series 500 - for particles ranging from 0.5 - 5 microns
o Series 510 - for particles ranging from 5 - 10 microns
o Series 520 - for particles ranging from 10 - 25 microns
o Series 530 - for particles ranging from 25 - 50 microns
o Series 540 - for particles ranging from 50 - 100 microns
FATHOM® Liquid Filtration Media has an engineered gradient density - structure designed to improve filtration efficiency in trapping solids from a liquid stream. The fiber density increases through the media from the media upstream to the downstream side. Larger particles are trapped in the upstream
layer, and finer particles are captured in the denser downstream areas, helping to improve efficiency while increasing filter life. Its high particle-holding capacity can translate into longer filter life, fewer filter changes and less downtime.
"The quality of the filtration media used directly affects the quality of the liquids being filtered," explains Ronald C. Cox, Filtration Marketing, Kimberly-Clark. "Inadequate efficiency leaves systems dirty and can impact product quality. Too much efficiency can lead to higher filter costs due to frequent filter changeouts. FATHOM® Media delivers a wide range of efficiencies so users can choose the right media for specific applications."
