Cost efficiency in melt filtration: pressure consistency and long operating times even with large amounts of contaminates

Recyclates of the highest quality are a highly sought-after commodity in the plastics processing industry. In line with demand, stricter requirements are also being placed on the productivity of the recycling systems. The high-performance melt filters from the ERF series from Ettlinger, the centre of competence for recycling in the MAAG Group, are a cost-effective solution for providing corresponding product quantities for the recyclable material cycle. The manufacturer's flagship is the powerful ERF 1000. When processing easy-flowing materials, for example for injection moulding applications, its four rotating, perforated drums can filter up to ten tonnes of plastic melt per hour. The system's benefits include continuous operation in a stable process at consistent pressure and long operating times without filter changes. The very low melt loss in the range of a just few percent as well as the possibility of changing each drum individually and without interrupting production also contribute to the high cost efficiency of the ERF 1000.
