Best of British for ADEY’s new commercial filters

The pioneer of magnetic filtration technology, ADEY Professional Heating Solutions, has partnered with a leader in precision engineering to bring the production of its impressive new MagnaClean Commercial filter range back to the UK. Having been manufactured in China for a number of years following its launch in 2006, the MagnaClean Commercial range is now manufactured just five miles up the road from ADEY’s head office in Cheltenham by Staverton-based Future Advanced Manufacture, which was awarded the initial £1.5m contract. The high specification range conforms to the Pressure Equipment Directive 97/23/EC, ensuring the design and manufacture meet the highest standards and safety requirements for design, manufacturing and testing in the UK and Europe. Providing protection for light commercial heating systems through to heavy industrial applications, ADEY’s Commercial range is proven to effectively tackle black iron oxide sludge and system debris. The installation of a filter can also help to significantly reduce energy, maintenance and repair costs. “If not properly protected, commercial systems can be hugely expensive to maintain. Installing a MagnaClean Commercial filter will bring immediate benefits, particularly in systems with a large number of radiators or larger dimension pipework,” says Peter Sullivan, Business Development Consultant at ADEY. “Bringing manufacture back to the UK means we are able to work closely with Future Advanced Manufacture to ensure the filters meet the highest standards. Future has a strong pedigree in precision engineering with 30 years experience in the aerospace and pharmaceutical industries. They are ideally placed to be able to offer the innovative engineering solutions required to manufacture the Commercial filters.” “Future Advanced Manufacture is delighted to be supporting ADEY with the manufacturing of its commercial range of MagnaClean filters. It’s great to be part of the continued success of ADEY and I think it’s fantastic for UK manufacturing that a part designed only a few miles away in Cheltenham has now come back to be produced in the same area,” comments Craig Peterson, Managing Director at Future. Designed to make installation and ongoing maintenance extremely straightforward, the new design has been improved to incorporate EPDM full face flange gaskets for robust sealing at high temperatures. Engineered to the highest specification, the filter has a drain plug with BSPT threads ensuring effective seal and easy maintenance. MagnaClean Commercial is manufactured to EN 13445:2009 and available in four sizes; 2”, 3”, 4” and 6” pipe dimensions. It is also fitted with a sight-glass to allow heating engineers to see how much sludge has been captured and determine when maintenance is required.
