Polymer filters – Wiremesh-ProTec protects the quality of desired filaments
If, for example, filaments are to be produced from plastics, certain molecules can impair their quality. This can cause the filaments to break and, under certain circumstances, also lead to a less than optimal consistency and clogging of the filters and screens. Polymer filters are designed to prevent this by retaining the relevant molecules and thus making the polymer homogeneous and as smooth as possible for processing. Wiremesh-ProTec polymer filters offer numerous advantages, which also play a role in handling and other factors.
The versatile areas of application for polymer filters
Wiremesh-ProTec polymer filters are used in the plastics industry in the production of films, fibers, semi-finished products, compounding, granulates and recycling. The products, often referred to as melt filters, help to determine the quality of the end product. Accordingly, it is also important that they are high-quality and durable products that can withstand higher loads. Wiremesh-ProTec polymer filters know how to meet the high quality requirements: At every step, our trained employees carefully check whether the filter type can really meet the highest standards. The highest level of customer satisfaction is our top priority at every step – from consultation to delivery.
Polymer filters must be able to withstand these loads
Polymer melt filtration can be carried out under high pressure and also at different temperatures, which polymer filters must be able to withstand. This determines the design of the polymer filter. We mainly use the materials 1.4301 and 1.4401, whose resistance meets all requirements. The stainless steel materials are characterized on the one hand by their corrosion resistance and on the other hand by their high load-bearing capacity. Pressure and high temperatures are therefore no problem for our polymer filters.
An excerpt from our polymer filter portfolio
In order to meet the various industry requirements, Wiremesh-ProTec offers a wide range of polymer filters, spinneret filters, spinneret seals, filter cartridges, screen cylinders and extruder screens. It goes without saying that precise separation properties are required for every application, which we aim to provide in every respect. A variety of filter media in different filter finenesses are available. Customized cuts are another option in our repertoire. If special specifications need to be implemented, our experts can think of customized solutions and possibly develop prototypes. The individual consultation serves to find out all requirements in advance, to understand the hurdles in the actual process and, among other things, to highlight optimization options. If the latter are to be utilized, the services of Wiremesh-ProTec can help. One thing is certain: with the high-quality filter media from our company, operating costs can be reduced in the long term and the efficiency of some processes can be significantly improved.
