Russell Finex - Sieving, Separation, Filtration and Ultrasonic Systems

Russell Finex, worldwide leader in fine-mesh separation technology, has designed and manufactured sieving, separation, filtration and ultrasonic systems for over 75 years. With innovation at the core of its business, Russell Finex is continually developing its range of sieving and filtration equipment and manufacturing procedures to satisfy the demanding requirements of the pharmaceutical industry.

Check screeners

Check screening, also known as safety screening or control sieving, ensures correct product quality of powders or liquids and is achieved through removing oversize contamination. Products in this range include the Compact Sieve®, the Compact 3in1™ and Blow Thru Sieve™.

Powder and granule-grading machines

Grading/sizing of powders and granules achieves separation on different ranges of particle sizes. Grading machines separate up to five product fractions, increasing sieving accuracy and efficiency. They include the Finex Separator™, Eco Separator™ and the Finex range.

High-containment sieving equipment

The Compact Airlock Sieve™ and the Compact Airswept Sieve™ are designed to provide accurate removal of oversize contamination, with maximum product containment. This delivers improved product quality while safeguarding your operators’ health.

The cGMP design of these screeners is based on clean lines, making sanitation easier and enhancing performance.

Ultrasonic sieve deblinding systems

Ultrasonic sieve deblinding systems are used to eliminate mesh blinding and blockage, which are common problems when sieving dry powders. The Vibrasonic® deblinding system uses ultrasonic frequency, enabling finer meshes to be used and in turn increasing screening capacity. It has revolutionized the screening of difficult powders on sieve meshes, allowing accurate separation down to 20µm. The ultrasonic system has been designed to be retrofitted onto any sieve/separator.

Self-cleaning in-line filters

Russell's range of self-cleaning filters is ideal for removing oversize contamination from liquids and provides consistently high flow rates with no operator control necessary. As they do not require filter bags or cartridges and significantly reduce wasted products, Russell's filters are both cost effective and environmentally friendly.

The filter range includes vertical, horizontal, in-line, on-line, high temperature/jacketed filters and the Filter Management System™.
