Continuous Screen Changer
Continuous Screen Changer provides continuous polymer flow and consistent, repeatable process parameters during screen changes. The features, benefits, related services, and specifications are as follows.
Continuous Screen Changer Functions:
As polymer enters the screen changer the melt stream is divided equally and distributed through two theologically optimized breaker plates. This method of filtration provides increased screen area as compared to single breaker plate screen changer designs and maintains a streamlined polymer flow path. Polymer merges back to a single melt stream as it exits the screen changer.
