The UK company is a World Cheese Award winner and has been a farmhouse cheese maker since the early 1800s.AJ & RG Barber Ltd., which traditionally used mesh filters, says that it changed to Axium’s 316L stainless steel wedge wire filter range as this range of filters is easy to maintain and clean and is available with interchangeable screens providing filtration levels of 25 micron up to 6000 micron. As well as providing both product smoothness and consistency, the Pure-Screen filter range offers high security for critical applications where filter failure or collapse is not an option.The filters, which require no tools for access, are designed with a 316L stainless steel safety clamp closure, metal to metal seal, and are suitable for backflushing, clean-in-place and steam-in-place operations.“AJ & RG Barber is delighted with the performance of Axium’s filters”, says Julian Ing, head of Engineering. “They have proved to be extremely reliable, robust, hygienic and simple to clean”.
