1. FILTER SHEETS
Sparkler Filters International offers a range of Filter sheets. The Filter sheets are made of
chemically pure polyethylene fibres, cellulose and filter aids like perlite. Filter sheets combine a
depth and surface filtration characteristic. Because of the difference in potential, defined as the
“Zeta potential” there is an extra filtration effect. Electrostatic forces ensure that charged particles
are captured in the filter media.
Filter sheets are available in micron ratings from 50 µm down to 0.15 µm. They are in
accordance with rules of the European Community about materials in contact with food and
registered by the FDA. The Filter sheets are available in squares and circles with different
dimensions,
SHEETS 0 RANGE
SA 010 SA 020 SA 030 SA 050 SA 070
Sheets with a very low or zero
content of polyethylene which
result in a high filtration
performance. Very adequate for
coarse filtration of very turbid
liquids and for the filtration of
high viscosity liquids such as
syrups and gelatines, etc.
SA 290 SA 390 SA 590
Sheets with a very high
performance. Often used to retain
filter aids and activated carbon.
Also used in clarification
processes in the chemical, food
and cosmetic industries.
SA 790 SA 890
Sheets for fine or final clarification of liquids and preparation for sterile filtration. Filtration of
wines, beers, dry liquors, bottled water, distilled alcoholic drinks, vinegar, pharmaceutical and
cosmetic products, perfumes, etc.

2. SA 950 SA 990 SA 997
Sheets for sterilising filtration. Final filtration before bottling or when there is an interest in marginally lowering the colmatation
index and reducing the content of micro-organism. Bottling of wine, mineral water, liquids with risk of fermentation or microbial
alterations, pharmaceutical products, drips, vaccines, injectable solutions. Because of the high content of polyethylene, this
range cannot be sterilised over 1.1 Kgs steam (120ºC) conditions for more than 30 minutes.
SHEETS 5 RANGE
SA 005 SA 035
Filtration of liquids that hold a lot of materials in suspension, molasses liquids with sediments, etc.
SA 395 SA 595
Filtration of syrups, liquid glucose, fruit juices, gelatine, sweet and dry liquors with
precipitated colloidal material, etc.
SA 795 SA 895
Glazing of fruit juices, preserved fruit, syrups; filtrations of colognes and special
perfumes
SA 955 SA 995
Sterilising sheets, used in the bottling of juices and syrups. Sterile filtration in the chemical industry, especially where steam is
used as a sterilising agent
