Duplex Filters Save Downtime at Peter's Foods
 
Peter's Food Services recently contacted Axium Process to see if
they could provide a solution to the constant blocking of the fine
spray nozzles which apply glaze to their range of baked pies and
sausage rolls on the browning lines.
Axium Process installed a pilot filter system in one of the lines
enabling Peter's Food engineers to monitor and alter the filtration
level. The trial was a success in that it allowed uninterrupted
operation thus dramatically reducing costly downtime. Peter's Foods
removed the existing standard wire mesh filters to the lines and
installed eight Compact Duplex Pure-Screen100 filter systems custom
built to suit their application.
Axium Process' Pure-Screen wedge wire stainless steel filters are
easy to maintain, have no moving parts and require no tools for
access or cleaning. The filters, which are of a particularly robust
design, can be fabricated to customer specification and includes
duplex, multiplex and jacketed filter options.
Standard filter options include a 90°, in-line or straight
through design as well as the Pure-Screen Compact filter which is
designed for use in confined areas or where flow rates are low.
Sample valves or vent valves can be integrated into any of the options
as can isolation or back flush valves if required.
The company has also introduced a low cost perforated sheet strainer
which is designed as a low pressure drop 'last chance' filter. It
can be used as a simple coarse filter or as a means of protecting
pumps and instruments.
