GLOBAL SIEVING AND FILTRATION SPECIALISTS SINCE 1934

“The units add capacity without taking extra space. Because they’re mobile, we just wheel them wherever we need them. We can also strip one down for cleaning in 30 seconds and reassemble it just as easily.”

“The Eco Filter wiper system works on a continuous basis, cleaning the filter element surface at all times, providing a consistent throughput rate and differential pressure.”

“We are very satisfied with our purchase. Russell Finex’s commitment to providing testing and customization makes them the obvious choice for providing a quick, high quality solution.”

“We were previously using static basket filters, however they were easily damaged and had to be cleaned 8 times a day, resulting in production breaks and even loss in revenue. The Russell filters take less than half of the space of the previous filters, but still have a large capacity of 1500kg/hr. In addition, the filter media does not get damaged easily and is re-usable. ”

“We have used Russell sieves successfully for many years but the new Russell Vibrasonic separators are really excellent and much faster than conventional separators. They have allowed us to significantly improve process efficiency and achieve the consistently high standards of product quality and purity that are demanded by our customers.”

“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.”

“The automatic wiper removes all solids that stick to the filter so it’s always clean. An operator just keeps an eye on the system and spends his time on other shop tasks. Eliminating the downtime of cartridge cleaning and replacement has dramatically improved production workflow. We’ve reduced labor by 75% and cut maintenance by 50%.”

“The screeners compact size and design fit our needs perfectly. It not only allowed us to keep our existing equipment setup, but also maintained our production efficiency better than other screener options we had. ”

“After we replaced the five original separators with new ones from Russell Finex, we increased throughput by almost 50%.”

“In order for us to ensure high product quality, we needed to select the best processing method available. Our long standing relationship with Russell Finex meant that we knew we could rely on them to deliver a sieving solution to fit our requirements.”

“The two Compact 3in1 sieves have enabled screening capacity to be doubled, allowing for greater flexibility, improved screening and therefore a reduction in waste and labor costs.”

“The new Vibrasonic system works extremely well - it has increased our productivity levels and is a great improvement on the older design of machines that we used before - it gives us much greater control, we can ‘tune’ the Vibrasonic system to the products.”

“I have to believe installing the new filter system is making us more competitive. The Pittsburgh operation tested an Eco Filter system a few months after we installed ours, and they have ordered some based on our success. Also, we’re planning to expand the new filter throughout our Anaheim plant.”

“Any risk of product contamination has been eliminated completely with the Russell compact screeners. Compared to the rotary units we replaced, they are very simple to dismantle and clean. In addition, we no longer have pieces of nylon mesh finding their way into the product which was a frequent problem we experienced with the rotary screening machines.”

“We required a sieving system that would enable us to check-screen the milk powder to meet the standard set not only by Nestlé but also by Chile and the countries the milk powder is being exported to. With the industry moving towards 2mm screening, it was important to choose a sieve that would meet this criteria without slowing down the production process.”

“During initial product trials, we recognized how the new Airlock screener utilizes the Russell Compact technology to increase screening efficiency allowing even sticky products to be sieved without blinding. Also, due to its new clamping system, it is extremely easy to dismantle when compared to conventional clamping methods. It is clear that this particular unit has been designed specifically for this type of application.”

“They are so quiet you do not know they are running.”

“An efficient production line with a throughput of 2,000 – 2,400 kg/hr was required, and the Russell Eco Filter comfortably delivers this. The Eco Filter is better than our previous machine as the pressure is much lower and it removes all the unwanted particles from the honey.”

“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. In fact it has actually made our metal detectors virtually redundant since we rarely ever hear them activated. ”

“We no longer have to shut down production or babysit filter bags. Because we are removing all the particulate pieces of product from the brine solution, we are not blocking up our nozzles and are getting good brine flow into the system. 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.”

“I was so happy with the first machine it was natural to go to Russell Finex to purchase the second one.”

“We got more out of our buck than we could have with a centrifuge. The unit is portable and compact so we move it around where needed. Another plus is that it's helped us cut water use by up to 30 percent since we use less water to clean out the decanting vats. As water resources get tighter, especially on the West Coast, that's becoming important.”

“We ran a trial using the Self-Cleaning Russell Eco Filter and were extremely impressed - it’s easy to use, achieves a consistently high throughput and also reduces product wastage.”

“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.”

“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.”

The new separators give us up to 33% more production uptime than our previous system with more accurate screening and better yield.”

“Because the Eco Filters are so operator friendly and eliminate the need to clean filter baskets, we’re saving about 60 man hours a week with them on our 24/7 shifts. They’ve also eliminated filter blockage and pump seizures. Rather than ‘baby-sit the filters,’ our maintenance staff is now staying on top of other important tasks such as preventive maintenance.”

“Compared to our previous manual filtration system, the enclosed Eco Filters have allowed us to achieve good housekeeping and reduce labor costs.”

“The Vibrasonic system has helped eliminate blinding at the fine mesh sizes/narrow particle size distributions required by the medical market, all the way to 45μm/325 mesh. It has enhanced our material throughput to the point where we can meet specified requirements in virtually a single screening pass, while improving material recoverability.”

“The atomising package along with the Russell Finex machines have dramatically increased the company’s production levels more than 4-fold. The sieving units have allowed them to streamline their operational efficiency by preventing bottlenecks and increasing productivity.”

“Our process downtime virtually disappeared because the filter cleaned itself and discharged oversize quickly and cleanly through the purge valve. It allows us to quickly, cleanly rework purge materials back into the product stream, and will save us about 500 hours of labor and $10,000 in labor costs this year. The self-cleaning filter has added significantly to our bottom line and helped us toward our goal of continuous improvement.”

“ 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.”

“The results were encouraging and signify an early indication that one-day sieving on the moon could be possible. It is hoped that further experiments will be undertaken in the following years. It was good to establish connections between NASA, the University of Wisconsin – Madison and Russell Finex. Our relationship with Russell Finex will be something we can look on in the future. ”

“ Compared to our previous screeners, we've doubled capacity in half the space. Not only that, but we've significantly increased yield while maintaining quality and minimizing maintenance. The units last and last - we’re still using our original 15-year old screener in mass production.”

“ 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.”

“The Russell Compact Sieves have not only helped us to meet our required capacity, but have also provided a hygienic solution that is mandatory for the milk powder industry.”
