Whitman Laboratories Ltd, a centre of manufacturing excellence for the Estee Lauder Group of Companies, is making substantial cost savings since installing a number of Axium Process' Pure-Screen Compact Wedge Wire filters, by reducing downtime and recovering up to 6kgs of high value skin care product per batch, per day which was previously wasted.The company, traditionally used Filter Socks during their batch manufacturing of skin care products which required changing at the end of every batch resulting in considerable wastage of expensive product and costly downtime. Axium's range of 316L Pure-Screen filters, which are being widely used throughout the pharmaceutical, food, beverage, dairy and cosmetic industries, require minimal maintenance and are quick and simple to maintain as they have no moving parts and do not require tools for access or cleaning.
The filters, which can be fabricated to customer requirements are available with interchangeable wedge-wire filter elements ranging from 25 micron up to 6000 micron as standard, and are suitable for backflushing, CIP (clean-in-place) and SIP (steam-in-place).
