efficiency at high counter pressures and with the lowest amount of shear stress, it says. This results in a reliable and gentle transfer, boosting and metering for a wide range of thermoplastic polymers, with no adverse effects on product quality. At the same time, its FSC plate screen changer for extrusion processes is equipped with a pressure-adaptive sealing system that allows the required sealing forces to be adjusted to the actual melt pressure automatically. Their solid and robust construction, available in all sizes and designs, ensures a reliable and leak-free filtration of molten polymers. Its new extrusion cart has a space-saving
moveable tripod design, which reduces inline footprint compared to four-wheel designs. The modular system allows for one size cart to handle the four most common size extrusion pump models for 3.5, 4.5 and 6in extrusion lines. With a simple adapter plate change, the original cart can handle a larger pump or gearbox, without replac- ing the cart should the customer need a pump change for more output. This new compact design is done in 3D technology allowing for quicker
approval drawings, shorter system deliveries and less cost to the customer. Ettlinger of Germany – which has been part of Maag since January this year – will be showcasing its new ERF350 melt filter.
Depending on the type and level of contamina- tion in the melt and the selected screen size, it achieves a maximum throughput of 8,300 lbs/hr, an increase of around 28% compared to the earlier ERF250 using the same filtration surface. Volker Neuber, managing director of Ettlinger,
said: “There is a huge demand in the US for high quality regrind and also for our filters.”
