The self-cleaning filter has added significantly to our bottom line and helped us toward our goal of continuous improvement. Manufacturers with continuous processes, especially those with high amounts of oversize or contaminant, could benefit even more.

Paper Coatings

Paper coatings and Russell Finex.

paper coatings.jpg By listening to and working closely with our customers, we have learned about the problems faced in the paper coatings industry, and how to best approach these issues.

From screening starches, clay, latex and color pigments, to filtering water and inks, we understand the market and can recommend a solution to improve your product quality.

Papermaking

By check-screening starch prior to spraying, we can help reduce spray nozzle blockage. Check screening starch before it is combined with water and added to the paper sheet will also help protect the size press and will help ensure an even surface.

Check-screeners can also remove fibers from the recycled overcarry before returning to the size press.

Water treatment at paper mills

Paper mills are usually situated close to rivers for convenient water use in their process. This water is then returned to rivers, but must first be cleaned to comply with environmental legislation. Our filters and separation equipment can help you remove oversize contaminants from your water.

Color coatings

Other problems faced by paper coating manufacturers include contaminants present in color coatings and undispersed powder particles caused by inefficient dispersion. A Russell filter or sieve can help solve these problems.

Board making

Coatings used for cardboard making must also be screened to ensure smooth and even surfaces. Removing contaminants from coatings reduces the chance of lumps in the cardboard further down the line.
