Axium Process, filtration specialists, has introduced a new 316Lstainless steel sintered mesh filter screen to complement its range of wedge-wire and perforated-sheet filters.  The new ‘Fine-Screen’ sintered mesh option is ideally suited for fine particulate applications requiring filtration levels below 75 micron in the water, pharmaceutical, food, beverage and chemical industries.

Manufactured in 316L stainless steel with material certification to BS EN 10204 3.1,  Axium’s new ’Fine-Screen’ filter range offers excellent strength and rigidity and is suitable for both CIP (clean-in-place) and SIP (steam-in-place) operations.   
The filters, which are available as 90º, straight through or inline, are manufactured with either 4” or 6” filter housings and with a housing internal surface finish of 0.4 µm Ra as standard. Inlet and outlet connections are available to customer specification and include clamp, RJT, DIN, IDF, SMS and plain-ended options.  The screens, which are constructed from layers of stainless steel mesh fusion bonded, are interchangeable and range from 75 micron down to 5 micron. 
Axium Process is a filtration specialist and filters can be manufactured to suit customer requirements including duplex layout and jacketed options.  The company also offers pilot plant facilities which can accommodate any of the filters from their range for companies wishing to develop new products or establish the level of filtration required with existing products.
