Eaton Sanitary Filtration for Beverage Processing Featured Articles

Eaton Filtration products are designed to meet the vigorous requirements of the beverage industries. Customer case studies illustrate how Eaton solutions address the needs that these sanitary processing industries have in common:

  • vigorous testing standards
  • precisely defined quality requirements
  • wide range of regulations

Eaton filtration systems and equipment address the sterilization and purity priorities of these applications.

Eaton’s BECO depth filter sheets, BECODISC stacked disc cartridges, and BECO filter cartridges are widely known in industries where sterilization and purity are a priority. Other Eaton filtration products are equally important including:

  • DCF mechanically cleaned filters eliminate disposable cartridges and bags, reduce operator handling, operate at low differential pressure, and are maintenance free with almost no downtime.
  • F series automatic self-cleaning filters feature a modular design for future capacity and configuration flexibility. Cleanable media reduces life cycle costs and maximizes productivity.
  • MCF series magnetically coupled filter, with a unique magnetically coupled driving technology that moves the cleaning disc, has no need for shaft or drive external seals.
