Sustainability 24. September 2024

Sustainable technologies for recycling and the circular economy are becoming increasingly important. Whether solutions for mechanical or chemical recycling or machines optimized for energy and resource efficiency for the production, processing or treatment of plastics - MAAG Group offers appropriate solutions for the plastics industry.
The focus is on the continuous high-performance melt filter of the ECO series, which is used to filter highly contaminated polymer melts due to its special design. For chemical recycling, this technology is outstanding for filtering low viscosity polymers. The ECO filter is self-cleaning with a rotating, perforated drum, through which there is a continuous flow of melt from the outside to the inside. A scraper removes the contaminants that remain on the surface and feeds them to the discharge system. This enables the filter to be used fully automatically and without disruptions over long periods caused by having to replace the screen. The advantages: Reliable melt filtration, ultra-low melt losses constant pressure curve, fast spreading of the contamination and short residence time of the melt in the filter.
