Mott Issued Patent for PENTA^® MV Gas Filter

FARMINGTON, Conn., July 10, 2000 – Mott Corporation has been issued a U.S. patent (No. 5,917,066) for its GasShield^®, PENTA^®-MV Inline Gas Filter. The PENTA-MV’s flow-through bore design provides a 15 liter per minute flow rate while maintaining a 9-log reduction in particles down to 0.003 micrometers. The all-metal filter design has the industry’s smallest interior volume minimizing purge down time by removing any dead space within the device which might entrap moisture, particles or other contaminants.

More durable than polymer-membrane products, the PENTA-MV employs a nickel filter element that ensures durable performance for equipment including gas cabinets, valve manifold boxes and process tools. The filter housing is manufactured from a single, solid piece of bar stock eliminating weld-area leaks and corrosion which provides the cleanest housing of any filter product available. The single element weld also yields the smallest weld surface in the industry and makes the PENTA-MV cost competitive with Teflon^® type filters.

Mott Corporation manufactures a variety of filtration and related devices from porous metal to serve industrial and high purity customers worldwide including chemical, instrumentation, fiber, semiconductor, energy, food and beverage, and environmental.
