MACHINERY | SCREENCHANGERS AND MELT FILTRATION
Right: ADG
Solutions is now offering Break Machinery from Italy in its product line
foam sheet, battery separator film, or PVC, and is characterised by a large active screen surface area and compact design, as well as providing extreme- ly easy and safe operation. The KSF series is designed specifically for applications with frequent material type, grade, or colour changes, as well as for high pressure applications like blown film. On this model the screen changers are compact and offer excellent value for money while permitting quick and easy functionality.
Product expansion ADG Solutions, a US-based recycling equipment distributor and supplier, has recently expanded its product line to include Break Machinery. The Italian company offers a range of automatic
Recycling Anlagen. “The loss of melt is consider- ably reduced, while the process is more efficient and quicker – meaning our customers save time and money.” Through an optimal design of the melt channels, filters and breaker plate geometries, deposits and black spots can largely be avoided, says the company. The CMF-BF can clean its filters automatically. In
an attachment module, there are two backflush pistons, which allow an automatic backflush proce- dure. In case of a necessary filter change, one of the two backflush pistons is first moved into the back- flush position and the melt inlet of the correspond- ing filter is interrupted. A small amount of melt flow, which has already
been cleaned, is separated, guided backwards through the filter to be cleaned and guided out- wards. Then, the procedure is automatically repeated for the second filter. As an option, the CMF-BF is available with fluid
heating, steam heating or as a high-temperature version.
NPE display
At the NPE show in the US this May, Gneuss will display an RSFgenius 150 with an active screen area of 450 cm²/70 square inches, for 1000 kg/h (2.200 lbs) of R-PET with a filtration fineness of 75 microns (200 mesh).
It will also have an SFneos and a KSF model on
display. These filter series also operate continu- ously but do not offer backflushing, so are better suited for applications that do not require self- cleaning. The SFneos series operates automatically and is suitable for a wide range of applications including

and efficient filtration equipment and recently introduced the Duo self-cleaning double filter system. This new design is considered extremely suitable for fine or course filtration and can filter heavy levels of contaminants with the help of a double screen design which achieves maximum productivity while guaranteeing high product quality. The Duo offers a constant pressure operation to maximise line productivity with minimal waste for even the highest contaminated materials. The new geometry of the scraper disc and the innovative discharge system allows contamination to be removed in a rapid and controlled manner, while the shape of the six-blade rotating scraper disc is said to offer excellent cleaning, even at low rotational speeds, while also preventing filtered contaminants from returning into the melt. The company says the unit is simple to operate and clean with no disassembly required, the general design reducing cleaning and replacement times for both the filter and blades. “We are continually looking to find the best equipment solutions to enhance our portfolio we provide to our customers,” said Sandy Guthrie, president of ADG. “Taking the best quality machinery and marrying
that with our advanced industry knowledge allows us to help our customers transform plastic scrap into high-value raw material.”
