Ettlinger will showcase its latest innovation, the ERF 350 continuous melt filter at Plast 2018 on 29th May-1st June.
The ERF 350 enables around 30 per cent higher throughput than the predecessor ERF 250 and has several new features.
The filters in Ettlinger’s ERF series are used by recyclers and compounders to filter heavily contaminated polyolefins and polystyrenes.
The melt filters in the ECO series are specifically designed for easy-flowing materials such as PET or PA and are designed for manufacturing PET packaging tape as well as PET films and sheets, for fibre production or for re-pelletising materials obtained from PET bottle flake.
Due to the ingenious discharge principle, ETTLINGER filters have the lowest melt losses in the industry, leading to lower operating costs.

Filteranlage ERF 350
ERF melt filters are available in three sizes and achieve a maximum throughput of 6000 kg/h.
All ERF filters are equipped with a conical screen, which is continuously cleaned by a scraper, maintaining a constant pressure, especially with sensitive applications such as film, sheet and pipe extrusion or downstream strand, which is a crucial advantage says Ettlinger.
