DESIGNED to solve quality control problems, reduce maintenance costs and substantially raise operation efficiency, the new self-cleaning Eco filters and strainers from Russell Finex include innovative features that make a substantial contribution to lowering operating costs.
In conventional filters, waste solids can rapidly build up in the discharge section. The build-up results in the need for frequent dismantling and cleaning. This generates high costs in terms of downtime, media replacement, waste disposal and, of course, direct loss of production.
But the problem is totally solved by the new range of Russell Eco self-cleaning filters.
The new Russell Finex SpiroKlene system continuously wipes the inner surface of the screen, driving oversize waste away from the filtration area. This process maintains consistent flow rates and keeps differential pressure low.
A second innovative system incorporated into the Eco range is the Russell Finex Discharge Cone Agitator, which is specifically designed to overcome the problems traditionally associated with sticky oversize. The new system allows oversize product to be removed manually, without stopping production.
The new filters are totally enclosed to safeguard operator health and protect product quality against airborne contaminants. The Russell 316 stainless steel microscreen has an aperture size that is precisely defined in two dimensions to give much higher levels of filtration accuracy, while microscreens can be supplied in magnetically detectable stainless steel.
The filters can handle throughputs in excess of 100,000L/hr and keep pressure build-up at minimal levels, even at filtrations down to 10 microns. Jacketed models are available for production that requires heat. Nupac Industries 03 9584 8111.
