Depth Filtration
BECO CPS series
1 A 2.1.6.3.14
MMe
09/2007
Application examples:
Polishing filtration of concentrated sugar solution at
approx. 65 Brix and filtration of cooking oils, ve getable
extracts, gelatin broths, ointment bases, oils and filtration
of Fuller's earth. Another area of application is
separating activated charcoal. Depending on the grain
size distribution of the activated charcoal, separation in
single-stage fine filtration is even possible.
Coarse Filtration
BECO CP07S, CP03S, CP02S, CP01S
BECO depth filters with filter-active, mineral components
for clarification of liquids with a coarser crystalline and
amorphous, or gel-like particle structure. Suitable for
high-viscosity liquids.

Components
BECO CPS depth filter sheets are made from particularly
pure natural materials and cationic charge carriers.
Finely fibrillated cellulose fibers from deciduous and
coniferous trees and different quantities of high-quality
kieselguhrs are used.

Differential Pressure
Terminate the filtration process when a differential
pressure of 300 kPa (3 bars) is reached.
Regeneration/Backwashing
The high capacity of the BECO depth filter sheets can be
used to a greater or lesser degree for filtration under wet
conditions through trouble-free backwashing with softened
water, which contributes considerably to reducing the cost
of filtration.
Proceed as follows to regenerate:
Cold rinsing:
Temperature:
15 20 C (59 68 F)
Duration:
Approx. 5 minutes
Hot rinsing:
Temperature:
60 - 80 C (140 176 F)
Duration:
Approx. 10 minutes
Safety
There are no known adverse effects when used in a
professional manner and as directed.
An EC safety data sheet is available on request.
Waste Disposal
Due to their composition BECO, depth filter sheets are
biodegradable. Comply with relevant current regulations
depending on the filtered product.
Storage
Depth filter sheets consist of strongly adsorbing materials.
The product must be handled carefully during shipping and
storage. Store the depth filter sheets in a dry, odor-free,
and well-ventilated place.
Do not expose the depth filter sheets to direct sunlight.
BECO depth filter sheets are intended for immediate use
and should be used within 36 months of delivery.
