Melt contaminated by metallic, inorganic particles and / or foreign plastic etc., can lead to time consuming and costly delays in production that require removal of the machine nozzle or, in extreme cases, the complete disassembly of a Hot Runner system to clean out a blockage.This is particularly prevalent when moulding with a high percentage of Regrind Plastic where the frequency of contamination is high.
Fortunately there are two solutions which help alleviate this situation:
The Ring Gap Filter Nozzle fits onto your moulding machine. This in the long run is the ideal, most cost effective solution if you running a number of different moulds all using regrind material.
For smaller applications the Mould Gap Filter fits into individual moulds. This is a cheaper option for application to just one mould, but each mould will need it’s own filter.
Both options are extremely quick and easy to clean.
