Filtration systems and screencangers for industrial applications
Filtration is a process that separates or purifies substances. The mechanical separation processes of Maag filtration systems are physical. The principles are used in filters and screen converters for separating and cleaning plastic melts, chemicals and lubricants. They are also used in recycling, extrusion, rotational molding, in general in industrial applications and in the pharmaceutical and food industries.

High Performance Melt Filter ECO
The continuous melt filters of the ECO series are mainly employed in PET and PA applications due to their special design and for filtering polymer feedstock from industrial waste with a low level of contamination or lightly contaminated post-consumer waste, as well as for clean virgin material. Our ECO melt filters are capable of processing a wide range of polymers. All solid or elastomer foreign particles such as gels, black specs, paper, wood, aluminum, copper, rubber, silicone or high-melting polymer composites are efficiently removed.
Continuous operation with a constant pressure on the outlet side
No need to replace the screen for several weeks, or possibly months, depending on the material and the applicationExtremely low melt losses
Absolutely clean filtration surface during the total time in operation
Up to 1.5% contaminants removed (we recommend our ERF filter for higher contaminant contents)
Completely closed system with no entrapped air
Short contaminant residence times in the filter
Consistent melt flow without dead zones or degraded polymer
Suitable for all polyolefins, polystyrenes, PET and PA
Better mixing and homogenizing of highly filled melts
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.
Fully automatic, continuous operation
