Filters improve resin filtration system efficiency
In an extremely competitive industry, Neville Chemical found that modernising their resin filtration system could enable significant productivity gains, reduce waste, and eliminate health hazards
The Blow Thru Sieve has been designed and certified for use in pneumatic conveying lines, enabling processors to screen and transport material simultaneously.
Its development has come about as a result of a need to check-screen powder during dilute-phase positive pressure pneumatic conveying.
The Blow Thru Sieve ensures that ingredients coming in or final products leaving a plant are free from contamination.

New sieve for screening during conveying
The Blow Thru sieve from Russell Finex has been designed for use in pneumatic conveying lines, enabling processors to screen and transport material simultaneously
By combining screening and transportation the sieve eliminates double handling, increasing efficiency.
Its unique design allows the sieve to achieve phenomenal throughput rates, enabling processors to screen material as they load or unload tankers or silos without slowing the process.
The Blow Thru Sieve is a fully certified pressure vessel and meets international pressure equipment legislation.
It can be used up to a maximum pressure of 2 bar and is ideal for any bulk powder application where quality and efficiency are important factors.
Flexibility is a key feature of the Blow Thru Sieve.
Assembly and dis-assembly of the unit are achieved using a simple tool supplied with the sieve.
This allows cleaning between batches to be a quick and simple process.
FDA approved materials and surface finishes are also available for food applications.
The unit can be mounted on a mobile stand allowing it to be used at several locations at one site, giving customers total installation flexibility.
The award winning Compact Airlock Sieve will feature on the Russell Finex Stand at ACHEMA.
Since its launch in 2005 it has added a new dimension to screening technology for the pharmaceutical industry.
The unique design has evolved as a result of close consultation with many of the top pharmaceutical companies around the world.
This Compact Airlock Sieve is the first real advance in pharmaceutical sieving technology for ten years, with its validatable pneumatic clamping system giving large improvements in product containment and operator health and safety.
This pneumatic lock gives an even and high clamping force across all sealing faces and therefore guards against powder leakage more effectively than traditional band clamps or over-centre toggle clamps.
With powders safely contained, the screener accurately removes any contamination and therefore improves product quality and safeguards the reputation of the user.
The third new sieve being introduced by Russell Finex is the Mini Sifter.
This unit has been developed out of a need to provide entry level screeners for smaller processing applications.
Based on the well known Compact Sieve technology the Mini Sifter offers the same benefits but at an entry level price.
Introducing sophisticated screening technology to clients with lower volume screening requirements allows Russell Finex to offer them the benefits that their larger scale customers receive.
Improving the quality and hygiene of incoming ingredients and safeguarding the reputation of these customers is just as important as it is for the multi-national corporations that Russell supplies.
The simple design of the Mini Sifter means that cleaning, maintenance and operation are easy tasks that can be achieved in seconds.
Minimal operator involvement and compact design are features that are common across the Russell Finex sieve range and have been continued in this latest addition.
The final new addition to the Russell Finex range is the re-engineered Russell Eco Filter.
Russell Finex have over 70 years experience in the filtration and separation industry.
By drawing on this knowledge the Eco Filter has been re-engineered to provide even greater benefits to liquid processors.
The primary benefit of the filter remains the same.
It eliminates contamination from liquids in a clean and simple fashion without the mess and environmental impact of the more traditional bag or cartridge filter.
The new 502 Eco Filter offers the same high operating performance in terms of improved product quality, increased capacity and reduced maintenance costs.
The new model has been designed to take advantage of the most modern manufacturing technologies allowing Russell to pass on cost savings to end users.
All Russell Finex equipment complies with the new ATEX legislation in Europe.
Experienced Russell Finex engineers will be available on the stand to demonstrate these new units along with the selection of other Compact Sieves and Eco Filters on display on stand number F4-F6 in ACHEMA Hall 6.
