Self-cleaning strainers for chocolate manufacturing

Liquid filtration system removes contamination from virgin and reclaimed chocolate

At Russell Finex we strongly believe in product machine testing. This video demonstrates how our Russell Eco Filter® removes oversize contamination from virgin and reclaimed chocolate. With its versatile range the Russell Eco Filter® improves product quality by removing oversize contamination from 10 micron or above. The filter does not require filter bags or cartridges, which offers significant reductions in wasted product over traditional filters. The in-line design allows easy installation into existing pipework, as the jacketed pipework maintains the product temperature. The installation of a Russell Filter Management System™ continuously monitors the filtration process enabling the filter to run efficiently, reducing operator involvement. The Russell Filter Management System™ offers a time-controlled valve operation, which automatically discharges oversize after a pre-determined time.

T.J. Davies' Retention Knobs

T.J. Davies' Retention Knobs

Our retention knobs are manufactured above international standards or to machine builder specifications. Retention knobs are manufactured utilizing AMS-6274/AISI-8620 alloy steel drawn in the United States. Threads are single-pointed on our lathes while manufacturing all other retention knob features to ensure high concentricity. Our process ensures that our threads are balanced (lead in/lead out at 180 degrees.) Each retention knob is carburized (hardened) to 58-62HRC, and case depth is .020-.030. Core hardness 40HRC. Each retention knob is coated utilizing a hot black oxide coating to military specifications. Our retention knobs are 100% covered in black oxide to prevent rust. All retention knob surfaces (not just mating surfaces) have a precision finish of 32 RMA micro or better: ISO grade 6N. Each retention knob is magnetic particle tested and tested at 2.5 times the pulling force of the drawbar. Certifications are maintained for each step in the manufacturing process for traceability.
