MELT FILTRATION | PROCESSING
Taking on change Parkinson Technologies has been offering the KCH continuous belt screen changer in its Key Filters range for several years. Since the 2012 launch of the original KCH,
marketing manager Brian Lundgren says Parkinson Technologies has been making refinements as well releasing new options – such as its “spent screen shear” and ScreenLync technology – focused on increasing reliability and efficiency. “Parkinson saw a growing need in the com- pounding market for a way to decrease downtime when making a material, grade, or colour change,” he says. In such applications, Lundgren says there is a need to limit cross contamination, which in many cases requires replacement of the breaker plate and/or filtration screen. The result is what he says is an innovative
quick-change breaker plate, the KCH-SB. This has been engineered to drastically reduce the amount of time it takes to replace a breaker plate and introduce a fresh clean screen into the process. “The breaker plate’s unique design allows rapid change out of the breaker plate in under five minutes, which normally could take up to four hours
in downtime,” Lundgren says. Without the use of tools, the clean breaker plate is actuated into position while pushing the contaminated breaker plate out of the melt stream. A hydraulic puller (featured on all KCH models) then allows the operator to pull fresh clean screen into the melt stream in a matter of minutes.
