challenge of physical contamination and ensuring that the recycled material meets the highest standards of purity and quality. Epsilyte said its decision to choose Fimic as a
partner was driven by several key factors. Specifi- cally, it said that Fimic’s equipment demonstrated exceptional versatility in handling varying types and levels of physical contamination commonly encountered in recycling EPS, while minimising the risk of damage to recycling equipment, a crucial consideration in optimising operational efficiency and reducing downtime. “Epsilyte is committed toward a more sustain- able future and demonstrates it in the investments we’re making in technologies like Fimic Melt Filtration,” said Epsilyte Plant Engineer DJ Harris. Fimic offers a range of five different automatic melt filters and screw pumps, offering all possible filtration specs and covering the many different existing applications. Its flagship RAS melt filter has reached over 530 units installed world-wide. At Plast 2023 in Milan, Fimic officially presented the latest version, the RAS 800. With a 30% larger filtering surface than the RAS 700, it allows an increase of 40% in production capacity and is the
largest model of the RAS series to date. This latest addition to the range of automatic
self-cleaning melt filters allows recyclers to reach a higher hourly production capacity, with the efficiency and simplicity characteristic of Fimic’s filtration technology. It is also fitted with a new radial discharge valve, and because the body is heavier than any other melt filter of this series, comes with two support arms to assist the mobile lid. The second innovation
Fimic unveiled last year was the new SPA 190, which it claims is the biggest screw pump on the market. It enables increases to the hourly production, transporting the melted plastic material from the extruder to the filter without using gears, which are sensitive to con- tamination and can be damaged easily. Powerfil, the Erema business unit dedicated to supplying high-performance filters, offers two filter models, the Erema SW RTF (backflusher) and the Erema laser filter. Both are available in a wide range
