GURIT MAKING SIGNIFICANT CYCLE TIME SAVINGS WITH PURE-SCREEN FILTERS
Gurit, a leading global supplier of composite materials, engineering services and tooling equipment, recently purchased a number of 316L stainless steel wedge wire stainless steel filters from Axium Process, which are being used in a demanding application to remove crystallised particles from epoxy resin and hardener systems.
The filters, which were selected for their rugged construction and versatility, were supplied with a range of interchangeable elements from 50 micron up to 250 micron to accommodate the filtration range specified by the company.
Gurit is now experiencing the benefits of increased production volume due to the open surface area available with Axium’s wedge wire filters, as well as reduced downtime, increased product security and the added benefit of being easy to maintain as they require no tools for access or cleaning.
“We are very impressed with the performance of Axium’s filters”, states Elliott Smith, Gurit UK’s Production Manager; “The key criteria for our application was improved reliability over the Y-strainers we had previously. They have more than achieved this and the high flow rate has yielded the bonus of significant cycle time savings.”
Axium Process is a filtration specialist having developed its range of filters to suit most liquid applications. The range, which can be customised to suit customers’ specific requirements, is available with Compact, Standard, Economy, High Capacity, Duplex, Triplex and Jacketed options with interchangeable wedge-wire, perforated sheet or sintered mesh options.
