Coperion K-Tron to launch sanitary filter at The Powder Show

Coperion K-Tron will be amongst exhibitors at The Powder Show to take place at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont Illinois, on 6-8 May 2014. The company will be launching the Sanitary Filter Receiver (SFR) built for food applications that require quick clean-out. It helps reduce food contaminants and the cross contamination of allergens. For easy cleaning, the unit is designed with rounded corners and without hidden areas or ledges. The side entry access door is tool-less, and the filter media is easy to access.

Other features on this model are an integral 70 degree hopper, mounting legs and pressure differential indicator. Made from DIN 1.4301 [AISI 304] stainless steel with highly polished P150 grit Ra 0.8 surface, the unit measures 914 x 1,219 mm (36 x48 in). The filters, made from spunbond polyester with an ePTFE membrane, are cleaned by sequential pulses of compressed air from a removable, locally mounted accumulator. Pulsing intervals are adjusted via an DIN 1.4301 (AISI 304) stainless steel IP66 (NEMA 4X) timer panel to ensure optimal cleaning.

Coperion K-Tron designs and manufactures sanitary support stands and service platforms to accommodate the SFR units.
