MELAG Activated Carbon Filter (ME37460) is the “Stage 2” cartridge in the MELAdem filtration sequence. Its primary function is the chemical purification of water through adsorption, specifically targeting chlorine and organic contaminants that a mechanical pre-filter cannot catch.
Key Features
-
Chlorine Removal: Chlorine is highly corrosive and can cause “pitting” in the stainless steel chambers of autoclaves. More importantly, chlorine can chemically degrade and destroy the delicate Reverse Osmosis (RO) membrane—this filter is the essential shield for that membrane.
-
Organic Contaminant Adsorption: Effectively removes pesticides, herbicides, and other dissolved organic compounds, improving the overall purity of the feed water.
-
Odor & Taste Neutralization: While not critical for the autoclave’s mechanical function, it ensures the water is chemically stable and free from volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
-
Professional Grade: Manufactured by MELAG in Germany to meet the strict technical and safety standards required for medical and dental sterilization.
Compatibility
