Continuous screen changer GEM

double-piston

The amount of material to be recycled is constantly increasing, but at the same time, it is necessary to maintain the high quality standards of the results. This is why we have designed a truly exclusive melt filter combining FIMIC technology with the experience that has made us filtration specialists, with the guarantee of never failing to obtain an excellent end product. Because we like thinking big! GEM combines the power of RAS, FIMIC’s superior filter, with the winning idea of the ERA double filter. The result is an exclusive technology which combines two identical Ø 600 or Ø 700 screens, two scrapers and two valves, achieving a surface area of 5.552 cm² and 7.592 cm²: the largest in the world on a single machine! We have never been daunted by challenges and GEM stemmed precisely from the most exciting and difficult challenge of all: to allow a greater hourly production rate thanks to a bigger filtration surface than any other melt filter on the market. And all with just two screens! Without ever losing sight of the processing of any level of material contamination, with reduced waste and low maintenance costs. HOW DOES GEM WORK? Unlike RAS, this model achieves a greater surface area through two screens towards which the plastic material flows, in combination with two scrapers and two independent discharge valves. The two blades scrape the contamination collected on the screen, while the scrapers trap them inside and then, automatically discharge what they have collected via the valves.
