High Performance Melt Filter ERF

The continuous melt filters in the ERF series are suitable for materials with up to 16% by weight contamination and are guaranteed to remain in use for long periods without changing the filter. Our ERF melt filters are capable of processing a wide range of polymers (e.g. LDPE, LLDPE, HDPE, PP, PS, ABS, PC / ABS, TPE, TPU, POM). All solid or elastomer foreign particles such as paper,wood, aluminum, copper, rubber, silicone, or high-melting polymer composites are efficiently removed.
The classic application for ERF melt filters is repelletizing lines, but they are also successfully employed for sheet and profile extrusion. ERF melt filters can in principle be used in any extrusion line – either single or twin-screw and irrespective of the type of pelletizing system or other downstream unit. Four different sizes enable throughputs from 150 to 10,000 kg/h depending on the application.

​​ Applications

ERF continuous melt filters are suitable for processing all standard polyolefins and polystyrenes with the exception of PVC; they are designed to remove foreign particles such as paper, aluminum, wood, elastomers (rubber, silicone) or high-melting polymer composites from heavily contaminated materials.

Schmelzefilter – die Baureihe ECO

Ein rotierendes und mit einer Vielzahl von konischen Bohrungen versehenes Filtersieb wird von außen nach innen von Schmelze durchströmt. Die in der Schmelze enthaltenen Verschmutzungen verbleiben auf der Filteroberfläche und werden spätestens nach einer Umdrehung über einen Abstreifer von der Sieboberfläche abgenommen, der Austragswelle zugeführt und direkt aus dem Prozess nach außen gefördert. Mit jeder Umdrehung des Filtersiebes wird also wieder 100% saubere Siebfläche zur Verfügung gestellt. Die Gestaltung der Austragswelle und des Austragssystems ermöglicht auch die Verarbeitung von niedrigviskosen Polymerschmelzen wie z.B. PET und PA. Der maximale Verschmutzungsanteil ist, im Vergleich zum ERF-Schmelzefilter, auf 1,5% begrenzt.
