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 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
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

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
