Cost-Effective Manual Melt Filter
The BKG NorCon EM/EMR manual melt filter offer a budget-friendly solution for processes requiring infrequent screen changes. Ideal for extrusion and recycling applications, these basic discontinuous filters are reliable and efficient.
Overview
Manual screen changers are designed to minimize costly downtime during screen replacement. With a simple swing of the handle lever during routine shutdowns, clean screens are quickly engaged, eliminating the need for line disconnection. This straightforward process allows full production to resume rapidly, maintaining operational efficiency.
The BKG NorCon EM/EMR is designed for easy integration into existing extrusion lines, providing a cost-effective and efficient solution for continuous production.
