Reliable Melt Filters for Process Protection
Nordson’s BKG NorCon LD-SWE melt filters are designed to safeguard downstream equipment and improve the quality of virgin melt. These discontinuous piston screen changers are easy to clean and maintain, making them ideal for extrusion, batch production, masterbatch, compounding, and polymerization processes.
Overview
The BKG NorCon LD-SWE is a discontinuous melt filter with a piston screen changer, primarily used for processing virgin materials. It also serves as a protection filter, installed directly behind the extruder to shield downstream equipment from damage. This makes it a reliable choice for extrusion processes that require high-quality filtration and process stability.
Featuring oval-shaped screen cavities, the LD-SWE offers an expanded filtration area, ensuring efficient operation and superior melt quality.
