Product Details

High performance pre-filtration for the beverage industry.

3M™ LifeASSURE™ BLA Series Filter Cartridge

High performance pre-filtration for the beverage industry.
3M™ LifeASSURE™ BLA Series Filter Cartridges encompass two distinctive technologies - multi-zone microporous membrane technology and Advanced Pleat Technology (APT) - to provide unmatched protection of final membrane filter cartridges, as well as an exceptionally long service life.
Multi-zone microporous Nylon 6,6 membrane.

Multi-zone microporous Nylon 6,6 membrane.

By eliminating dual-layer membrane construction, this multi-zone structure provides a larger surface area, a significantly increased contaminant holding capacity and a long service life. It has an open zone that acts as a pre-filter by capturing larger particles and colloids on the upstream side of the membrane and a tighter zone on the downstream side that retains smaller contaminants to maintain high retention efficiency.

Advanced Pleat Technology (APT).

Advanced Pleat Technology (APT).

3M’s APT design helps to maximize the useful surface area of the filter while maintaining open flow paths between the media pleats. It also provides lower pressure drops, a longer service life and lower overall operational costs.

100% integrity tested.

100% integrity tested.

Users can integrity test 3M™ LifeASSURE™ BLA Series Filter Cartridges for bubble point, diffusive flow or pressure hold procedures while the filters are in the housing to ensure proper installation and operation.

Extensive food contact compliance.*

Extensive food contact compliance.*

3M™ LifeASSURE™ BLA Series Filter Cartridges can be used for a variety of food and beverage filtration applications including wine, beer, water, soft drinks, syrups, dyes and intermediates.

*Consult 3M for detailed regulatory compliance information.

  • Multi-zone, microporous Nylon 6,6 membrane with an increased contaminant capacity to provide maximum membrane protection, extended service life and lower filtration costs
  • Advanced Pleat Technology (APT) construction provides an extremely high surface area for higher throughputs
  • Higher per-filter cartridge flow rates, resulting in fewer cartridge change-outs and cost savings
  • Membrane construction provides significant reduction of microorganisms
  • 100% integrity tested in manufacturing and in-situ to ensure proper installation and operation
  • Extensive food contact compliance* *For details related to specific use conditions or limitations for food contact applications please contact your 3M Representative for more information
