Liquid paint filtration

The Self-Cleaning Russell Eco Filter® has been used by many coating companies for the filtration of liquid paint. The filter provides a fine and continuous filtration down to 15µm, removing any impurity or skins from the paint at the end of the production line. The Self-Cleaning Russell Eco Filter® is a major advancement compared to bag- or cartridge filters. It has a stainless steel re-usable filter element which is continuously cleaned by a wiper system. This way product loss is minimized and costs for replacing bag or filter media are eliminated.

Sieving chemical powders

Russell Finex have often provided the Russell Compact Sieve® for the sieving of various chemical powders. This vibratory sieve meets the high standards of the industry. It is a reliable machine providing a consistent high capacity and accurate fine screening. In combination with the Vibrasonic® Deblinding System, which uses ultrasonic frequencies to keep the mesh clear, sticky or porous chemical powders can be easily screened down to 20µm.

Separation or recovery of plastics

The Finex Separator™ is a multi-purpose machine which can be used for separation, grading, screening, dewatering or recovery. This high performance machine is often used for the grading of plastics pellets such as masterbatch. When installed with up to 4 meshes, the Finex Separator™ is able to provide 5 accurate product fractions. The Finex Separator™ is also used to process recovered or recycled plastics, like UPVC. The machine separates unwanted material from the plastic and grades it leaving a pure fraction fit for reuse.
