Nordson V-Type self-cleaning screen changer
Munster, Germany-based Nordson Corp. says it has updated the design of its patented “power backflush” V-Type screen changer, creating a more compact and efficient system that eliminates downtime in extrusion, pelletizing and recycling. The screen changer:
- features a 30 percent shorter backflush cycle for increased efficiency
- provides up to 200 backflushing cycles before screens must be changed
- uses a single displacement piston for backflushing rather than having one for each screen cavity
- uses a hydraulically powered backflush system to automatically remove contaminants while maintaining extrusion throughput and keeping flow and pressure constant
