Below is a selection of customer quotes we are proud to share with you. Details provided with these quotes were correct at time of release.
Food and Beverages Industry
"Having a global recall is something that we are unable to quantify in terms of costs. However, with the new Russell systems in place we have complete peace of mind that our product is being supplied to the highest standards." - Peter Van Ingelghem, Engineering and Maintenance Manager, Godiva, Belgium
"With more production uptime and lower labor costs, the Eco Filters are helping us stay productive, competitive and grow into new markets. They are part of our winning team." - Steve Whitman, Production Manager, Mt. Olive Pickle Company, USA
“The Eco Filters are making us more competitive and are aligned with the goals of our mission statement - to be innovative in our products, practices, and procedures for competitive advantage while profitably furnishing the finest chocolate products available.” - Bill Alfano, Maintenance Foreman and Lead Mechanic, Gertrude Hawk Chocolates, Dunmore, Pennsylvania, USA
“Many screeners require a lot of time-consuming tear-downs for cleaning, and that detracts from productivity. The design of this screener is really simple, which makes it easy to knock down and clean to our stringent requirements. The Compact Screener has an electropolish finish, which not only makes it easier to clean, but also makes it sanitary, which is very important in our business.” - Dennis Cowles, Maintenance Manager, Farbest Brands, Columbus, Ohio, USA
“I was so happy with the first machine it was natural to go to Russell Finex to purchase the second one.” Carl Scheib, The Cookie Man, Esher, Surrey, UK
"The Compact 1200 sieves have allowed us to maximize productivity while ensuring a consistently high quality product. They are robust and well built and their design makes them very user-friendly and easy to strip down for cleaning. Because they are so compact they fit easily into our manufacturing lines while being able to produce the high throughputs that we require." - David Caddell, Centura Foods, UK
Pharmaceutical Industry
“As we’ve grown, the Russell Finex Screeners have helped us optimize our quality and production. They’ve been an integral part of our growth as we’ve produced OTC medications and raised the bar on dietary supplements to pharmaceutical standards.” - Dave Hoffman, Production Lead, Enzymatic Therapy, Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA
Chemicals Industry
“Because Russell Finex expedited delivery, we were operational in less than four weeks after our initial contact. This allowed us to meet our customer obligations efficiently and saved us additional cost from project delays.” - Quintin Richard, Packaging Supervisor, Agrilectric, Louisiana, USA
“I’m sure the Eco Filter has paid for itself in terms of productivity and waste elimination. But perhaps the health and safety benefits have saved us even more. We’re safer now, and our workers love the Eco Filter system because it eliminates all those physical demands. It dumps all the junk directly into a drum. The filter does all the work.” - Rob Lonergan, General Manager Anaheim plant, Neville Chemical Company, Anaheim, California, USA
Coatings Industry
“By responding so quickly to our needs, Russell Finex helps us respond to the marketplace. That’s key in a market as competitive as ours. Compared to our previous screeners, we’ve doubled capacity in half the space. The units last and last -- we’re still using our original 15-year old screener in mass production.” Becky Pitz, Senior Process Engineer, TABS Toner Products, Toshiba, USA
“We have used other brands of filter but Russell’s Eco range offers better performance and quality, and also reduces wastage. They are simple to use, easy to clean and maintain and operate virtually automatically. And because the filter element lasts much longer than in conventional filters, parts are replaced less frequently, reducing downtime and producing further cost savings.” - Bill Andrews, Engineering Manager, Cuprinol, UK
Ceramics Industry
"After we replaced the five original separators with new ones from Russell Finex, we increased throughput by almost 50%," - Tom Oldaker, Plant manager Attapulgus site, Zemex, Attapulgus, Georgia, USA
“We specified a Russell sieve because we have already experienced Russell quality and are completely confident in the equipment’s reliability, and the service offered by the company is second to none.” - Brian Bourne, Slip House Manager, Royal Crown Derby, Derby, UK
Metallurgy Industry
“With the Vibrasonic system, we have been able to work with medical customers to achieve their specifications for fine powders and tight particle size distributions. Any manufacturing process requiring precise, efficient screening below 150µm or above 100 mesh should consider such a system.” - Dr. Colin McCracken, Development Manager of Powder Products, Reading Alloys, USA
Environmental Services Industry
"Russell Finex were the only company willing to provide us with a test unit before we had to commit to any equipment. Because of this, we ran the trial unit for approximately one month before deciding that this was clearly the right choice for us." - Peter Hithersay, Plant Manager of Sheffield Site, Veolia, UK
"Since their installation two years ago, each filter has processed about 40,000 tons of material, with no serious breakdown. We are very satisfied with their durability and they are doing far better than we ever anticipated. Before the filters were installed, about 16,000 to 17,000 tons of fuel were passing through our plant in a yearly basis. Now, we are achieving volumes of about 50,000 tons a year, something which we would have struggled with without the Eco Filters." - John Jarvis, Engineering Manager, Veolia, UK
"Because of the quality of its output and its process efficiency, it's paid for itself a few times already. It earned a full return on our investment within a year." - Jon Wiltfang, Production Supervisor, Actagro, California, USA
“With reduced waste disposal costs and greater production uptime, the Liquid Solid Separator is playing an integral role in helping Finlay’s remain the UK’s leading manufacturers of decaffeinated and specialty teas” -Malcolm Eade, Engineering Manager, Finlay's, Hull, UK
