Extruder Screen Changer

The Extruder Screen Changer is a crucial component in polymer extrusion lines (like for film, pipe, or recycling) that filters out impurities from molten plastic to maintain high product quality and protect downstream equipment. Available in manual, hydraulic, and continuous automatic models, these systems ensure a consistent melt flow. Hydraulic and continuous types, such as dual-piston designs, allow for quick or non-stop screen replacement, minimizing production downtime. Built from durable materials like alloy or stainless steel to withstand high pressure and temperature (up to around 300 and 700 bar), they are essential for enhancing efficiency and reducing material waste by capturing contaminants like gels and foreign particles.
