Powerfully efficient filtration

Offered in both 0.45μm and 0.65μm rated filter cartridges, 3M™ LifeASSURE™ BBA filters - a Solventum filtration product provide reliable retention of common spoilage microorganisms, even at challenging concentrations exceeding those experienced by most beverage producers. LifeASSURE BBA filters - a Solventum filtration product are compliant with FDA-CFR 21 for indirect food contact applications. Our 0.65μm filter cartridges are tested in accordance to NSF/ANSI Standard 401 for microplastic reduction (≥ 85% efficiency for particles ≥ 0.5μm). LifeASSURE BBA provides greater volume capacity when compared to 3M™ LifeASSURE™ BNA Series Filter Cartridges - a Solventum filtration product with an extended service life, resulting in fewer cartridge change-outs for a more cost-effective filtration. Combined with one of Solventum’s premium pre-filtration products, these filters offer bottlers a complete rigorous contaminant control solution while maintaining a long service life.

Food contact compliance

Ideal for food and beverage applications that require the reduction of fine particles and microorganisms, LifeASSURE BBA Series Filters a Solventum filtration product are FDA-CFR 21-compliant and available with 0.45μm and 0.65μm ratings.* 

Microplastics reduction

LifeASSURE BBA filter 0.65μm filter cartridges are tested in accordance to NSF/ANSI Standard 401 for microplastic reduction (≥ 85% efficiency for particles ≥ 0.5μm). 

Dual-layer construction

Offering an extended service life and higher throughput capacity, LifeASSURE BBA Series Filter Cartridges a Solventum filtration product combine an asymmetrical PES membrane with an upstream melt blown polypropylene microfiber media. The upstream polypropylene support layer protects the downstream membrane, enabling a longer life. 

Broad sanitation compatibility

Designed for durability, LifeASSURE BBA Series Filter Cartridges - a Solventum filtration product can withstand repeated exposure to hot water sanitization and steam sterilization as well as common chemical cleaning and sanitizing agents. 

LifeASSURE BBA Series Filters - a Solventum filtration product are constructed of a single layer of microfiber nonwoven polypropylene and a single layer of PES microporous membrane pleated with polypropylene upstream and downstream support material. The outer cage, inner core and reinforced end-cap adapters are made of polypropylene.

Filter cartridges are manufactured under an ISO 9001:2015 certified quality system using the most advanced thermoplastic welding techniques for filter cartridge integrity. LifeASSURE BBA 0.65μm filter cartridges are tested as a manufacturer’s claim (85% EFT at 0.5μm) per NSF/ANSI Standard 401 for microplastic claims.

All filter cartridges are 100% integrity tested at a manufacturing location to verify quality.

• LifeASSURE BBA 0.65μm filter cartridges are tested in accordance to NSF/ANSI Standard 401 for microplastic reduction (≥ 85% efficiency for particles ≥ 0.5μm).
