This high-performance sorption separator is a pre-filter working efficiently to protect active carbon systems or odour reduction units from particulates or aerosols. hydroSorp® acts as a guard to prevent surface contact of filter systems with droplets of fat, water and emulsions of the smallest kind. Thus, filter change intervals are extended significantly.

In case of cold oxidation techniques proper functioning is aided with hydroSorp®. Pipes, ducts, heat exchangers and fans are kept fat- and particulate free and reduce corrosion measurably.
Patented in Europe, hydroSorp® consists of very high grade ester foam, which is subjected to a special thermal treatment to create an invisible internal grid structure. This structure guarantees fast drainage of adsorbed fluids and prevents them passing right through the separator.
The hydroSorp® separator can be regenerated up to 100%. The material is washable in a standard washing machine with 60° centigrade and non perfumed detergent.
The cleaner the material is kept the longer its life cycle.
Residuals of the filtering and washing process are to be disposed of according to the rules and regulations of country of operation.
hydroSorp® itself is commonly disposed of in non special waste.

Patented in Europe hydroSorp® consists of an high quality ester foam. This sponge like material con be regenerated up to 100% simply by washing.
To handle hydroSorp® properly first take it out of its two-part frame of stainless steel.
Wash hydroSorp® in a washing machine with no more than 60∞ Centigrade and a non-perfumed detergent. Do not tumble dry over 800 reps per min.
The regeneration/washing shall be done on a regular basis at not to long intervals. Visual dirt on the surface will indicate the necessity! Thus the life cycle and performance of hydroSorp® will extent enormously.
Caution: When employed in kitchen exhaust air hydroSorp® can accumulate large quantities of grease. This can lead to great wear and tear for the washing machine if hydroSorp® is not treated in correct and short intervals. In such cases the disintegration of hydroSorp® and/or severe damage to the washing machine can not be excluded.
(if in doubt always contact professional cleaning personal or firm).
If hydroSorp® shows signs of disintegration it must be replaced immediately. It is suggested to have spare units at hand.
