Hydraulic Screen Changer

The Hydraulic Screen Changer is a robust melt filtration solution for polymer extrusion, utilizing hydraulic pressure to swiftly and automatically exchange clogged filter screens, minimizing downtime and maintaining high production quality. Designed with a slide plate (platen) or piston mechanism, it enables "on-the-fly" screen changes, even during extruder operation, by momentarily diverting the melt flow, which is crucial for applications like film, sheet, pipe, and recycling, operating at pressures up to 350 bar with customizable screen sizes and heating elements for various thermoplastic materials. Its core benefit is the precision and consistent force provided by the hydraulic system, ensuring a tight, leak-free seal and preventing material degradation, thus enhancing final product integrity and overall line efficiency.
