Sartocheck® Mini Filter Integrity Tester

Automated Filter Integrity Tester for Food & Beverage Applications

Sartocheck® Mini filter integrity tester check the integrity of the filtration system after sterilization of the filter catridges and before the sterile filtration of water, wine or beer. The test checks the condition of the cartridge and the integrity of the complete system (housing + cartridges).

The Sartocheck^® Mini device performs:

• integrity testing of the filtration system after sterilization of filter cartridges and before sterile filtration of water, wine, or beer
• pressure drop testing
• diffusion testing

The Sartocheck Mini 3rd generation integrity testing device includes an inlet tube with a protective filter (2m in length), a large-diameter outlet tube (3m in length), a battery charger, a soft case for easy transportation, a hard case for shipping, and spare rolls for printing. An optional accessory, not included in the package, is an external vent valve for optimal backflow protection.

Why perform an integrity test?

To have answers to questions such as:

• Did the transport of the cartridges damage the filter’s integrity?
• Did pressure pulsations damage the filter on the filtration line?
• Did the sterilization step damage the filters?

Once the integrity test of your sterilizing filter cartridge is performed:

• you have filter integrity traceability
• results are automatically printed using the built-in thermo printer
• USB port allows connection of an external printer or transfer data to a computer
• ability to identify where process anomalies occur: If contamination problem of the filtered product (water, wine, beer...) and if integrated filter verified by the test, it makes it possible to identify a process anomaly (contamination downstream of the filter, bad decontamination of the bottling line, etc.)
