Axium Process, stainless steel fabricators, has recently introduced a perforated sheet strainer to its existing range of hygienic stainless steel filters. The new Econ-Screen filter range has a standard 3â? housing and is manufactured with an âout to inâ? flow, 316L stainless steel perforated screen. With operating pressures of up to 10bar, it is designed as a low pressure drop âlast chanceâ? filter before a pump or in-line instrument as well as a strainer for coarse particle filtration. The Econ-Screen filter range is manufactured in 316L stainless steel contact parts, has standard inlet and outlet sizes of 1â?, 11/2â? and 2â? and is available as either a 90° or an in-line option. The filter is fully welded and does not use expanded fittings. All welds are ground flush and polished internally and externally to 0.8um Ra. The Econ-Screen is designed for full drainability, employs no O rings and has a metal to metal seal design. The interchangeable filter elements are available in 1000, 2000 and 3000 micron sizes as standard. End connections can be fabricated to suit customer specification and include plain-ended, clamp, DIN, IDF, SMS, RJT, and BSP options.
