Filtration specialists, Axium Process, have introduced a new 316 stainless steel safety clamp closure that cannot be knocked or accidentally opened to their range of hygienic stainless steel Pure-Screen filters thus enhancing plant safety. The new safety clamps, which can be easily identified by their red coated coloured wing-nuts, can only be released when the wing nut has been significantly loosened to enable the smaller diameter of the gate bolt to swing and pass through the sectioned gate.

Axium’s range of Pure-Screen Filters, which are of a particularly robust design and manufactured in 316L stainless steel, are suitable for temperature sensitive applications such as chocolate production, for critical applications where filter failure or collapse is not an option and for applications where product smoothness and consistency are essential.

Available in a 4 ” body design as standard, the element to body seal has been designed as metal to metal which can be removed without sticking, and is designed for hygienic applications where the use of rubber ‘O’ rings could present a risk to a process or product.

Standard filter options include a 90 degree, in-line or straight through design as well as the Pure-Screen Compact filter which is designed for use in confined areas or where flow rates are low.
