Horizon Systems Introduces Two Smaller Filter Receivers

Horizon Systems, Inc. has added two new filter receivers to its filter receiver product group. These smaller filter receivers are designed for applications that existing VR and smaller RFTC receivers are used for, yet meet additional sanitary and smaller line size requirements. In Food and Pet Food applications, these filters work well for minor ingredients and dry palatants. In the Plastic and Chemical industries, these units work well with pellets or powders. Powders would use the filter cartridge configuration, but the receivers may be fitted with a “pancake” filter for pellets.

These new filter receivers also provide easier access for replacing the filter material and cleaning. Once you unlatch the three clamps small filter receiver 2and lift the lid, the media and tube sheet or “pancake” filter, can be easily removed from the unit. These units are designed to be more robust and easier to clean and maintain than most other filter receivers of this size.

The first company to select this option for their production process was a plastic manufacturer who needed better accessibility to solve cleaning issues, as well as, improved filtration. They purchased two different sizes each with a different filter type. The smaller of the two receivers will be used to handle plastic pellets and includes a pancake filter without pulse cleaning. The taller receiver will handle powders, so they have cartridges that are pulse cleaned. This filter receiver was furnished with our new non-pleated STS media cartridges.
