Self-Cleaning Russell Eco Filters have hugely improved the efficiency and running time of filtration at Norwegian honey processor Honningcentralen.
 Hege Bjørnbakk, production and quality manager at Honningcentralen, explains that a metal edge industrial filter, with a 63 micron wedgewire screen, was built into its new production line to remove foreign bodies, such as wax and bee wings.
However, the existing filter was inefficient, continuously requiring manual cleaning and resulting in down time. Hence the search for a new solution, which brought in Russell Finex.
"Our sister company in Sweden had an industrial filter from Russell and they were very happy with it" comments Bjørnbakk, whoc explains that the firm went for the Self-Cleaning Russell Eco Filter partly because of its easy-clean design, and partly for its SpiroKlene automatic wiper system.
Following the successful of this installation, Honningcentralen has also also now bought a filter management system, which automatically manages discharge of oversize material from the filter – so eliminating operator involvement completely.
