Process and sterile filtration

In sensitive production environments such as the food and beverage industry, a high level of process reliability is crucial. Our process and sterile filters support you in ensuring the quality of your products, minimizing risks such as recalls, and enabling stable, efficient processes.

Filtration as a building block for safe processes

Process and sterile filters help to create hygienically clean and technically stable production conditions – as required, for example, in the production of delicious and safe food. They can help to protect systems, media, and end products from microbial contamination, particles, or residues – thereby contributing to compliance with regulatory requirements and internal quality standards. 

Typical areas of application include the food and beverage industry, for example in breweries, dairies, wine production, and water bottling, as well as other sensitive industries where hygiene-critical processes are part of everyday life. 

Process and sterile filters at a glance

The Hengst portfolio includes various filter solutions for different applications: 

  • Liquid filters for the treatment of process water and liquid media 
  • Compressed air and gas filters for the filtration of supply air, compressed air, or for tank ventilation 
  • Steam filters for system sterilization, e.g., as part of SIP processes 

Graduated retention levels—from coarse pre-filtration to sterile final filtration—enable individual adaptation to your product-specific requirements.
