Sun Valley, a supplier of processed and raw nuts to Europes retailers and manufacturers, has recently purchased a number of bespoke filter systems designed and manufactured by filtration specialist Axium Process.

The company, which traditionally used a sheet filter system for removing nut shell debris from oils, was looking for a flexible system capable of filtering from 2,000 micron down to 50 micron that would require only a small footprint as well as being easy to maintain and clean.

Axiums engineers designed and built a stainless steel duplex and triplex filter system using Axiums Pure-Screen wedge-wire filters. The system, which is manufactured in 316L stainless steel, was delivered complete with frames, gauges, isolation valves and fittings.

The Pure Screen wedge-wire filter range has no moving parts, does not require tools for cleaning and can provide filtration levels from 10 micron up to 6,000 micron as standard.

Sun Valley is benefiting from improved process efficiencies and reduced downtime.
