Hospital Steam Filter Eliminates Wet Packs and Stained Instruments, and Reduces Sterilizer Maintenance!

Hospital FilterHaverhill, MA – A Parker Balston® Steam Filter designed specifically for use on Hospital Steam Sterilizers is now available from Parker Hannifin Corporation. The Model 23R Steam Filter effectively removes 98+% of contaminants 0.1 micron and larger from steam, and eliminates instrument staining, spotting and rusting caused by wet or contaminated steam. The filter also removes boiler feedwater chemicals and excess condensate from steam, eliminating wet packs. The Steam Filter significantly reduces operating costs by eliminating the staining of sterilizer interiors, minimizing maintenance of sterilizer steam control valves, door seals, and other rubber materials.

The 23R Steam Filter also reduces drying cycles, saving and increasing productivity efficiencies. The Balston Steam Filter contains a patented microfibre® filter tube in a rugged stainless steel housing. The filter tube is constructed from chemically inert borosilicate glass, and is completely free of impurities which could extract into the steam. It exceeds the ASHCSP Steam Filter System Performance Recommendation outlined in Technical Document #031801. Standard features include a stainless steel condensate drain and a high quality relief valve. The filter is shipped completely assembled, ready for easy installation.
