For over 70 years Russell Finex has manufactured and supplied screeners, filters, and separators to improve product quality, enhance productivity, safeguard worker health, and ensure powders and liquids are contamination-free. Their unique, vibratory Compact screeners are a breakthrough improvement over conventional screeners where reliability, cleaning efficiency, and headroom or room size are issues. When retrofitting a spray primer system to powder application, the engineer found the Russell Compact Screener's small size a real benefit in maximizing production line real estate. A smaller 15-inch unit proved to be what was needed. "Everything fights for space on the production floor - from pumps, pipes, filters, and automation to electrical controls, fire protection, and supervisory space," says the engineer. "That's where the Vibrasonic screener's compact size is so valuable.""Because of the unit's compactness, we were able to locate it below a gravity-fed bulk sack unloader," continues the engineer. "This eliminated the need for a conveyor and transfer pump, which saved valuable production space and capital." The engineer adds that while some screeners have commercial hardware such as nuts and springs exposed to the material being screened, the Russell unit does not, thereby eliminating the risk of hardware vibrating loose and entering the product stream. He appreciates also that the units are essentially dust and spark proof, with class 2, division 2 electrical classification. Beyond the production primer shops, the paint and coatings applicator has loftier goals. "With the Russell Finex Compact 15-inch screeners, we'll offer the ability to apply true color-specific, final-paint color systems with the durability, cost-effectiveness, and environmental benefits of powder application," says the engineer. "This will be possible with multiple colors in a small paint booth, without impinging on existing production space." For an industry challenged on many fronts, the shift from wet spray to powder paint and primer application shows that ingenuity and cooperative vendor support can yield significant benefits in optimizing production, cost efficiency, and environmental improvement. 28/11/2007 - Major UK manufacturer of aluminium wheels selects Russell Finex to improve the quality of its powder coating - A manufacturer of aluminium wheels based in England required a new sieve to screen lacquer coating powder. The company, which supplies wheels to both new car manufacturers and off-the-shelf suppliers of premium accessory wheels, was experiencing mesh blinding problems with its existing rotary sieve, which was obtained complete with its powder booth. After numerous attempts to make the rotary sieve work, the company turned to Russell Finex, of Feltham, England, to solve its screening problems with a new 400mm vibratory sieve equipped with the Russell Finex Vibrasonic Deblinding System. 02/03/2007 - Specifying a self-cleaning filter - Which type is best for you? - Whilst achieving the basic objective of accurately removing contamination from liquids, modern self-cleaning filtration systems offer a wealth of benefits over traditional bag or cartridge filters. With a range of designs available, which is best for your application? 07/07/2006 - A strategic advantage that lasts and lasts - Toshiba Corporation's 15-year relationship with a screening vendor is still paying dividends including doubling production capacity, increasing yield and uptime enabling aggressive expansion into new markets assistance. 07/07/2006 - Manufacturers keep on talking about key screening equipment secret - Manufacturers in every field are keeping their processes private, if not secret. After all, most processes are in some ways proprietary, comprising a mix of methods, technologies and operations that ultimately affect a manufacturer's ability to compete successfully. This is certainly not lost on the paint and coatings sector, where both products and processes may be highly proprietary.Russell Finex Address
