200-micron filtration: DUO succeeds where valve systems fail

asd

 
Where 200 µm filtration pushes valve systems into pressure drops and stoppages, DUO delivers steady pressure and uninterrupted flow, ensuring cleaner melt and consistent production.
ORDER DUO

Valve systems have long struggled to maintain performance at fine filtration levels. At 200 micron, they typically suffer from pressure drops, blockages, and frequent interruptions, limiting the quality and consistency of recycled material.

DUO’s double-screen configuration and independent discharge screw ensure continuous filtration with constant pressure even at 200 µm, helping recyclers achieve cleaner melt, higher output consistency, and longer machine uptime.

 
Valve systems: performance issues at 200 µm

When filtering at 200 µm, valve systems face pressure loss and early clogging. These issues cause downtime, inconsistent melt flow, and poor filtration quality. In production environments, this translates to frequent cleanings, lower throughput, and higher operational costs.

 
DUO: constant-pressure filtration at 200 µm

DUO is equipped with two screens operating at constant pressure while discharging contamination without interrupting production. This design enables stable operation even with high contamination levels and fine meshes. The double-screen system allows recyclers to reach finer quality grades and improve process reliability without compromising productivity.

 
Benefits for recyclers

• Reliable filtration at 200 µm

DUO’s double-screen system supports fine filtration down to 120 µm, keeping melt flow steady and providing recyclers with consistent, reliable performance.

• Constant pressure and uninterrupted production

The continuous, self-cleaning operation maintains stable pressure, reducing stoppages and ensuring smoother production runs.

• Reduced maintenance and downtime

Automatic contamination discharge and the independent screw minimize manual cleaning, lowering downtime and increasing machine availability.

• Lower operational costs and improved profitability

Longer screen life, reduced maintenance, and efficient operation help recyclers cut expenses and improve overall profitability.
