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.


DFS - Continuous large area polymer filtration systems

MAAG’s new generation Duplex Filter System (DFS). The new DFS incorporates a new patented solid body DIVEXpro switch over valve. The vent and drain valves are also newly designed and integrated into the body of the DIVEXpro. Combined with MAAG’s established MICRONEX® filter candles the new generation filter system can meet the harsh demands of polymer filtration. For chemical recycling applications with low viscosity and high contamination levels the new generation DFS-BF is capable of performing an automated backflush cleaning of the filter candles during operation.

Simplex - Discountinuous large area polymer filtration applications for industry and extrusion

MAAG-designed simplex polymer filter systems can be provided with either fixed or removable vessels. A compact preheat station with spare vessel is also available for locating near the polymer processing line for quick changeout. They are custom designed to minimize initial pressure drop and maximize polymer filter element life. Our proprietary sizing program, based on more than 20 years of experience in the field of polymer production and extrusion, incorporates your operating data to size each system for maximum performance and optimized flow while maintaining compact dimensions.

Suitable for Resin & Virgin Polymer Production, Extrusion

CSC-C - Polymer filtration for polymer production, polymer processing and extrusion

MAAG’s CSC-C large scale screen changer with candle filter elements is the right choice if short melt residence time, small footprint and a simplified candle change are required. Depending on the polymer type, melt viscosity, reactor throughput, and filter fineness, the screen changer size and number of pistons are customized to the application. The patented design allows the use of pleated micronex® candle filter elements with fiber metal felt (FMF) media, or cylindrical Multinex candles filter elements with interchangeable filter sleeves.

CSC-R - Screen changer with curved filter screens

MAAG’s CSC-R large scale screen changer with curved screens is designed for the use of one-way filter screens which do not require cleaning after the simple and safe screen change. The screen bearing pistons belong to MAAG’s modular filter system and its patented design use 75% of the piston surface as active filtration area. Also this filter execution can be installed for vertical or horizontal melt flow directly at the reactor discharge melt pump or pelletizer booster melt pump to avoid additional piping for reduction of melt residence time.

Suitable for Resin & Virgin Polymer Production

Up to 4x more filter area than circular screen cavities

Higher throughput

Multiplied screen life time

Smaller hydraulic unit

Lower melt pressure

Higher filtration fineness

Reduced flux rate kg/h/cm2

Ultra-compact design

Less heating capacity
