DUO screen changer filters plastic with up to 15% contamination
- Contaminated plastic often clogs standard filters, causing downtime and reducing profitability.
- DUO screen changers filter plastic with up to 15% contamination by weight.
- DUO’s 6 blade scraper disc cleans the screens while the discharge screw removes contaminants, keeping the filtration continuous.
Contaminated plastic stops recycling lines
Plastic recycling plants often process material with high contamination levels. Paper, wood, aluminum, and copper build up on standard screen changer filters. Each blockage stops the line, wastes material, and reduces output. Every stop wastes production time and raises the cost per kilogram.
DUO screen changer handles up to 15% contamination
DUO is Break Machinery’s constant-pressure self-cleaning screen changer for recycled plastic. It filters plastic melt with up to 15% contamination by weight. The exact limit depends on the type of contaminant. DUO removes these materials from the melt at pressures up to 350 bar.
Scraper and discharge screw keep screens clean
DUO’s 6 blade scraper disc wipes contaminants off the screens during production. An independent discharge screw then pushes the collected waste out of the machine. Operators adjust the screw speed to match the contamination level. This keeps more usable plastic in the melt and cuts material waste by up to 45%. With constant pressure, this innovation makes recycling operations more reliable and profitable.
