4" Sanitary Ultrafiltration Elements
Synder's 4" sanitary ultrafiltration elements are USDA compliant and well suited for small production scale operations, or large volume pilot studies. With pore sizes ranging from 1KD to 500KD, these elements are ideal where flow is limited below the requirement of larger production scale elements.

4" Industrial Ultrafiltration Elements
Synder Filtration's 4" industrial ultrafiltration elements are ideal where both 1KD to 500KD membrane pore sizes and zero bypass are a necessity. Manufactured with a durable fiberglass casing or more economical tape wrapping, Synder's elements offer an integrated ATD with multiple permeate tube options.
