Sun Valley, supplier of quality processed and raw nuts to European retailers and major blue chip manufacturers, 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 nutshell debris from oils, was looking for a flexible system capable of filtering from 2000micron down to 50micron that would require only a small footprint as well as being easy to maintain and clean. Working closely with Sun Valley, Axium’s engineers designed and built a stainless steel duplex and triplex filter system using Axium’s Pure-Screen Wedge-Wire Filters, which are reliable, robust, versatile and are also very simple to clean. The system, which is manufactured in 316L stainless steel, was delivered complete with frames, gauges, isolation valves and fittings and was supplied with full materials certification to BS EN 10204 3.1.

Axium’s Pure Screen wedge-wire filter range, which is being used across a wide range of industries for a diverse range of duties, has no moving parts, does not require tools for cleaning and can provide filtration levels from 10micron up to 6000micron as standard.
