Continuous screen changer FTS3 series

hydraulic

Screen Changers are used for filtering the contaminants from the melt. Single Plate Screen Changer have 2 screening zones on a single plate. Mesh filters (screens) are placed on the screening zones for filtrating the contaminants such as paper, aluminium, polymers that melt at higher melting points etc. Screening zone diameter is chosen according to throughput and contamination percentage. Input pressure increases as the mesh filter surface is blocked by the contaminants. Audial and visual alarm is triggered automatically to inform the operator for changing the mesh filter when the input pressure reaches the set high level. Plate is moved by hydraulic power which is generated by hydraulic power unit to change the mesh filter and Extruder is not stopped during mesh filter changing. Different models of Screen Changers from Ø100 mm screening zone to Ø400 mm screening zone are available in our production programme.
