The housing, Pall Advanta™ ALT Liquid Filter Housings
The filter I am waiting for, Poly-Fine ® II Series Filter Cartridges (PDF)
Haven't used it yet. Waiting on proper filter cartridge. Bought the 10" housing on eBay for $90 on a recommendation from @grim.
Pall Advanta
ALT - Upright T-Style
ALI - Inline
They use a 10", 20", 30" or 40" Code 7 filter cartridge.
ALT11 - 10" ALT12 - 20" ALT13 - 30" ALT14 - 40"
I've told a bunch of people, so they are getting harder to find on eBay. I think I have 4 of them now.
Ignore the 440 or Pall Jr housings, yes they have triclamp fittings too, but they take AIR/GAS filter cartridges. I've not yet found a compatible cartridge, and I'm not going to spend the money on a housing just to see what I can retrofit in. Especially when you can find a nice ALT11 housing for $100.
The housings with the Mini-TC gauge and drain port fittings are most desirable, since it's easy to add a gauge at the top to monitor cartridge back pressure.
Nearly every wine/beer online store that caters to commercial will have inexpensive code-7 filters.
Stay well clear of that Pall Poly-Fine cartridge. It is of super low efficiency and is not absolute rated beta 5,000. It has the same efficiency as that of a string wound cartridge and through this you drive buses through.
@richard the one I have ordered is a 10" .8 micron code 7 filter. Am I making a poor choice?
After use and back flushing, what is the proper way to store filter cartridge until next use?
Personally cancel the order. Pall have some fine cartridges BUT not this one for this application. Obviously depending on your requirements, I would pitch it at O.2µm or 0.45µm, beta 5,000 or an efficiency of 99.98%. A pleated depth cartridge. Storage, never let the cartridge dry out. Once cleaned, you can leave it in a bath of sterilant until next use. Unless you have serious solids loading, I would not consider trying to back-flush.
Ordered a Profile II graduated depth filter 3um.
so is this what you got? AB1Y0037PH4 Pall AB1Y0037PH4 Profile II Filter Cartridge 10" Inch 0.3 um @ eBay or a AB1Y0037J? the J model looks like it might be best for us?
I am learning the numbers... I have a PALL Advanta ALTD11G23DDH4 for $180 shipped coming from ebay..
$145 for a filter cartridge? Is that a case of 10? No way, overpriced. Run away.
no, just asking if that is it... learning numbers...
I just ordered a $15 'AB1Y2003J' 20micron one with $7 shipping to do a prefilter with while I use up my milipore finer filters... assuming J is better for us than PH4
BTW - G23DDH4 is the best one, mini triclamp at the top and bottom.
Sorry I bought up all the cheap 3/4" Ashcroft sanitary gauges to match.
Yeah your lingo is right, it's AB1 prefix.
That's a Code 7, Single Open Ended, 10" filter.
@CothermanDistilling, the one I ordered is AB1Y0307WH4. Ordered from Pall @ $36.53/ea.
OK, I think I got screwed on my filter head, the body says G23DDH4, but the top does not fit the code 7 filter :-(
100044519/1 and A13918 (or A13913) are stamped into the filter head)
Looks right to me, your filter cartridges have locking tabs correct? Should be push in and twist to lock.
There should be a fat tab and a narrow tab. Fat tab locates at the bottom in your photo, narrow top, then twist.
I am being a bit stupid I can not pick up that part number on the Pall website.
The actual photo of the cartridge .... I can not clearly see the tabs. To me this is not a code 7 cartridge.
Check the dimensions as per the shown drawing. This is a code 7 / 226 connection. The tab dimensions are also shown.
Sorry I deleted heights of the fins.
This is a code 7 cartridge connection
I have basically the same AODD pump, very keen to locate a suitable pulsation dampener if you can point me in the right direction?
The matching all-ptfe Yamada. Blacoh is another good manufacturer. I used a smaller stainless and ptfe Sentry before.
part number starts with AB1Y... no tabs, and smaller diameter, but in sealed pouch
Pall 10" Filter Cartidge AB1Y2003J @ eBay
the o-rings are a good 3/8"-1/2" smaller in diameter and no locking tabs...
I just want an actual part number people have bought.. no one has put one up...
I buy from St Pats wine in TX - about $28-35 a cartridge.
Good quality, long life, good price.
Go for AB1Y0037PH4 ... or AB1 Y 003 7 H4
AB1 Y = 10". Profile star
003 = 0.3 micron absolute rated
7 = Code 7
H4 = Silicone O rings
The P = Pharmaceitical or without is General grade
Yes it costs. If you think that it's too tight then say maybe 5 micron .. 050 ..... or 0.5 micron .. 005
Profile® II Filter Cartridges @ Pall
OK,... I thought the code 7 was somewhere in the AB1Y... Ijust misread the AB1Y0037PH4 and when i got the AB1Y2003 I actually got a code 3... I need AB1Yxxx7....
Got my filter cartridge Friday. Gonna put it to use soon as I can. Have questions on storing it between uses. One suggestion was to store in a sterilants. I will only be using it once every 6 months to a year.
Any other suggestions for storage? Or is this the preferred method?
Suggestions for sterilants?
Thanks.
I reverse flush with filtered water, low pressure, for about 15-20 minutes, then air dry. Do another forward flush with filtered water before you use it next time, to remove any particulate that may have settled on the filter.
Thanks @grim. Kinda what I was thinking. Will vacuum seal after air drying.
