Easy-cleaning honey filter cuts downtime
Norwegian-based honey producer Honningcentralen has experienced steady growth over the years. The firm recently built a metal edge industrial filter with a 63 micron wedgewire screen into its new production line to remove foreign bodies from the honey such as wax and bee wings. The existing filter needed manual cleaning, which lost production time.

The firm chose an industrial filter from Russell Finex's self-cleaning Eco Filter range. Designed for easy cleaning, the filter can be taken apart without tools, which is useful, as each honey strain needs a different screen size.

With a more accurate filter screen and its SpiroKlene wiper system, this self-cleaning industrial filter has eliminated the problems previously experienced by Honningcentralen. Its SpiroKlene system continuously cleans the surface of the filter element so frequent blockages are no longer occurring. In addition, the pressure problems have been eradicated as oversized material can be manually discharged.

Honningcentralen also purchased a filter management system, which automates the discharge of the oversized material from the filter, eliminating operator involvement.
