An extrusion system is, in the last resort, a system to produce plastic materials, processing raw materials and turning it into a different more refined and complex end material. In order to have the extrusion system profitably supporting a complete production process, it is essential to optimize the extrusion system performance.

Enhancing plastic production business performance

As a whole, the optimization of a plastic extrusion system is crucial to make plastic production business profitable. In this context, it is essential to select the right screen changer. Although several factors come into play when optimizing a plastic extrusion system, screen changer performance is often the most significant one. Nonetheless, extrusion system performance does not only deal with technological factors; several elements, associated with costs and work organization, have a strong impact on the mentioned performance.

A screen changer to maximize extrusion process

How to choose the right screen changer? What aspects should be considered? What factors can be improved by equipping your extrusion system with an advanced screen changer? Our recommendation is to equip your system with a cutting-edge automatic melt filtration system, such as GorillaBelt. Let’s analyse the reasons why this choice would offer plentiful benefits.  

Make your plastic extrusion system faster, more efficient and less expensive

Enhance your extrusion system with a screen changer that keeps the line running: you will improve your business productivity and minimize issues and costs. Equip your extrusion line with an automatic melt filtration system like GorillaBelt to improve your production, making it more efficient and minimizing issues and costs. GorillaBelt benefits are the following:

• No line stops for screen changes.
• Contamination up to 10% by weight, including hard contaminants such as metal, glass, paper and aluminium foil.
• Money saving, using less expensive raw materials such as post-industrial plastics or highly contaminated post-consumer plastics.

 

A faster, more flexible and more efficient plastic extrusion system

How to make your extrusion system faster, more flexible and more efficient: improve your business quality and profitability. Production output parameters and different material process capability are essential factors for screen changer performance and, more generally, are significant for overall extrusion system performance. You can maximize your recycled plastics extrusion system by equipping it with GorillaBelt; in other words, you will be enabled to:

• Process materials with hard contaminants such as metal, glass, paper and aluminium foil, with contamination up to 10% by weight.
• Increase production output – GorillaBelt can process up to 2,000 kg/h, with no line stops for screen changes.

 

Improve the efficiency and effectiveness of plastics extrusion system

How can a screen changer make an extrusion system better, smarter, faster, more profitable and more flexible? Thanks to automatic melt filtration systems like GorillaBelt operating in your plastics extrusion system, you will be enabled to focus on factors that are essential for the overall optimization of your business profitability:

• Reduce material loss – GorillaBelt ensures low polymer loss.
• Avoid line stops – no line stops for screen changes.

Equip your extrusion system with an automatic melt filtration system
