What Are SUPRApak™ Modules?
SUPRApak™ modules are Pall’s enclosed depth filtration format engineered around the “Edge flow principle,” where filter sheet media wrapped around a permeable central core directs fluid through precisely patterned feed and filtrate channels to maximize throughput and clarity. As unfiltered liquid enters from the outside, differential pressure moves it through the depth media toward filtrate channels that carry clarified product to the core for discharge, supporting consistent filtrate quality, hygienic enclosed operation, and efficient use of the full filter sheet area.
See how SUPRApak depth filtration uses the edge‑flow principle to deliver high throughput, enclosed operation and consistently clear filtrate.
Why Choose SUPRApak™ Modules?
SUPRApak™ modules uniquely combine surface filtration, depth filtration, and adsorption within an enclosed, hygienic system. The Edge flow principle helps ensure optimal use of the filter sheet area, resulting in higher throughput, consistent filtrate clarity and longer filtration run times compared with classical lenticular formats.
Additionally, enclosed operation reduces drip losses, minimizes operator exposure and supports improved product safety and quality.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Edge flow principle?
A unique flow configuration that directs fluid through engineered feed and filtrate channels, optimizing filter sheet usage and enabling up to 6× higher throughput.
Which media families are available?
Classical DE (SW, SR), Ion Reduced (SH), and Pure Cellulose (ZD). Each supports specific beverage and clarification needs.
How do SUPRApak™ modules improve process economics?
Low hold up volume, enclosed operation, faster changeouts, and high adsorption capacity reduce OPEX and increase product yield.
