DOWNERS GROVE, Ill.,
July 17, 2020 /PRNewswire/
-- MAAG Group, part of Dover (NYSE: DOV), announced
the launch of an updated melt filtration product portfolio that
supports compounding processes.
Melt filtration is a decisive system component for high output,
high-quality compounding lines. The main functions of filter
systems are to remove contaminants and gels from the polymer matrix
and help homogenize the material. A high-quality and well-designed
filter system excels in achieving long maintenance intervals and
reliable operation at high throughputs.
"With its latest updates, MAAG Group has the industry's most
comprehensive portfolio of melt filtration products and can respond
to a wide variety of compounding applications," said Joerg Giesler, Director BU Pumps & Filtration. "With thousands of
systems in operation globally, we have the expertise to optimize
the right solution for our customers' compounding challenges. In
addition to continuous melt filters, which enable a screen change
without interrupting production, the portfolio also includes all
types of discontinuous melt filters for batch processes."
The flat slide technology FSC covers a wide range of viscosities
and temperatures for low-viscosity polymers, such as hot-melt
adhesives. MAAG's unique design allows for leakproof operation, and
the metal hybrid sealing system provides superior process
reliability to customers and can handle temperatures up to
320°C.
The proven piston screen changers DSC and CSC are available with
three different cavities: the standard round cavity for very high
filler content; the enlarged "PE" cavity, which provides customers
with versatility in balancing throughput and filler loading; and
the "R" cavity in the form of a curved sieve that delivers a four
times larger filter area.
