ETTLINGER is the Center of Excellence for Recycling Systems
ETTLINGER has been the brand of choice for more than 35 years in the plastics industry for the reliable filtration and cleaning of polymer melts or the production of plastic parts by injection molding. As part of the MAAG Group, the specialist in filtration systems and recycling systems develops high-performance, tailored solutions for the international market.
ETTLINGER is a global byword for economy, efficiency and versatility in injection molding machinery. Our systems for the production of plastic parts with heavy shot weights of up to 130 kg
Thanks to the bundled know-how, products and technologies of the MAAG Group, ETTLINGER customers benefit from the size, strength and expertise of one of the world’s leading specialists in pump and filtration, pelletizing, pulverizing, and recycling systems. Vertically integrated products and services, paired with the MAAG Group’s worldwide service and support network, provide ETTLINGER
High performance Melt Filters - The ERF Series
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. Three different sizes enable throughputs from 150 to 10,000 kg/h depending on the application.
Suitable for Compounding, Recycling, Extrusion
Fully automatic, continuous operation
Up to 18% contaminants removed
Extremely low melt losses
More reliable processing due to constant pressure at the filter outlet
No need to replace the screen for several weeks, or possibly months, depending on the material and the application
Completely closed system with no entrapped air
Short contaminant residence times in the filter
Very simple replacement of the scraper from outside using a hydraulic cylinder
Elastomers (rubber, silicone) are efficiently filtered and discharged before they have a chance to be forced through the filter screen
