Continuous Screen Changer Melt Filter for Large-Scale Polymerization
The BKG POLY is a high-performance continuous melt filter designed for polymerization processes with large-scale throughputs of up to 45,000 kg/h (99,208 lbs/hr). Its innovative design ensures efficient filtration, meeting the demands of large-scale polymer processing.
Overview
The BKG POLY Continuous Screen Changer is the ideal solution for preparing virgin polymer melts for direct extrusion applications, including films, fibers, straps, profiles, sheets, and tubes. With its ability to handle large-scale volumes, it ensures exceptional performance and reliability.
While virgin polymer pellets are generally free from significant contamination, dust and deposits from transport and storage can impact melt quality. An additional filtration step with the BKG POLY ensures a perfectly clean polymer, improving overall product quality and consistency.
