Microfibre filter keeps steam clean
A new steam filter, specially developed for use in hospital steam sterilisers, reduces operating costs and eliminates instrument staining, spotting and rusting caused by wet or contaminated steam.
Parker Hannifin has launched a new steam filter, specially developed for use in hospital steam sterilisers, that reduces operating costs and eliminates instrument staining, spotting and rusting caused by wet or contaminated steam Called the Model 23R, the new steam filter virtually eliminates the need for wet packs by effectively removing all boiler feedwater chemicals and excess condensate from the steam feed

Parker Filtration has introduced Trubind 700 - which removes free, emulsified and dissolved oils in many process fluids
The Model 23R steam filter is constructed from a patented microfibre filter tube manufactured from chemically inert borosilicate glass and mounted inside a hard-wearing stainless steel housing.
The filter tube is free of any trace contaminants that would otherwise compromise the purity of the steam.
Model 23R filters are capable of removing over 98% of particles and liquid condensates down to 0.1um in size, effectively eliminating staining and, as a result, contamination of steriliser interiors.
This leads to a significant reduction in maintenance of steam control valves, door seals and other rubber materials and, as a direct result, diminishes associated downtime and loss of production.
In addition, the 23R can reduce energy costs by increasing the efficiency of the steriliser as the filtered steam reduces the drying cycles required.
A stainless steel condensate drain and high quality relief valve are fitted as standard to the Model 23R steam filter, and each unit is delivered fully assembled, to allow quick, simple installation in both new and retrofit applications.
The filter exceeds the ASHCSP steam filter system performance recommendation outlined in Technical Document 031801. Request a free brochure from Parker Hannifin - Filter Division ...
