Hydraulic Screen Changer for recycling machine

The Hydraulic Screen Changer is a crucial, high-performance component in plastic recycling and extrusion lines, primarily serving to filter out contaminants (like paper, metal, or non-melted plastic) from the molten polymer melt before it enters the die. It utilizes a hydraulic power unit to smoothly and rapidly slide or rotate a plate or piston holding new and dirty screens, enabling a non-stop screen change-often in just a few seconds-which drastically reduces downtime, increases overall productivity by up to 40%, and ensures consistent product quality, especially when processing heavily contaminated post-consumer waste material.
