Upgrades - Filters and more
With legislation constantly being updated and technology evolving, production methods and process lines can change significantly and therefore there comes a time when upgrading your equipment is sometimes essential. Upgrades don't have to be costly or timely and are sometimes very simple but often very beneficial. At Russell Finex we can provide upgrades that will enhance the features and functionality of your filters.
Upgrades for heavy-duty filter applications
In some cases, particularly with high viscosity products or where there is a large percentage of oversize, it is necessary to upgrade your filter to ensure it is able to continue to provide you with high performance levels. Some options available to achieve this are listed below:
- Heavy-duty motors and couplings - for increased torque
- High-pressure fiter units - for line pressures up to 30 bar (450 psi)
- Twin valve systems - to cater for larger volumes of oversize
- Duplex systems - having two or more units in tandem allows for flow rates and oversize to be controlled more effectively
Upgrade your online filter for high temperature applications
Online filters can be fully jacketed for temperature control. This is particularly suited to products such as chocolate or hot resins. In addition, these units can be upgraded to process high temperature products. With a simple retrofit, the unit can operate to temperatures up to 150°C (300°F), and an offset drive system can be incorporated for applications reaching up to 250°C (480°F).
