TECpore™
At Graver Technologies, we take pride in manufacturing TECpore™, a high-performance Polyethersulfone (PES) membrane,right here in the USA. With its advanced asymmetric structure, preciselyoptimized formulation, and superior wettability, TECpore™ sets the benchmarkfor excellence for hydrophilic membranes. It powers our ZTEC™, WaterTEC™, QSL™,and QCR™ product lines, delivering unmatched reliability and efficiency.
Key Features:
- Highly Asymmetric Structure: Enhances loading capacity, extending the service life of the membrane andreducing clogging.
- Optimized Membrane Formulation:Enables rapid wet-out for immediate usability and ensures consistent integritytesting results.
- Wide Range of Ratings:Available in 0.03 - 0.65 micron, these filters provide versatile filtrationoptions tailored to specific industry needs.
- Made in the USA: Ensuringsuperior quality control, regulatory compliance, and supply chain reliability.
Applications of TECpore™
Beverage Filtration (Wine, Beer, andSpirits): Filtration plays a critical role in the beverage industry, ensuringproduct clarity, stability, and microbial control. TECpore™ membranes deliver:
- Consistent microfiltration,removing unwanted particulates while maintaining key product characteristics.
- Reliable microbial reduction,ensuring beverage safety without impacting taste or aroma.
- Long-lasting performance,minimizing filter replacements and operational downtime.
Industrial Water Filtration: TECpore™ is akey component in WaterTEC™ solutions, offering:
- Superior particle retention forultrapure water applications.
- Membrane durability in a widevariety of water treatment environments.
- High flow rates, reducingenergy consumption and operational costs.
Pharmaceutical & Biotech Processing:With strict purity and sterility requirements, pharmaceutical filtrationdemands precision. TECpore™ meets these challenges by:
- Ensuring absolute filtrationfor microbial and particulate removal.
- Providing consistent integritytesting results to meet regulatory standards.
- Supporting high-throughputprocessing with minimal downtime.
