    ANGEL HAIR TRAPS  Lorenz manufactures these in-line traps for conveying lines to quickly remove "angel hair," "streamers," or "snake skins."  They are mounted in the material stream to collect these by products while allowing the pellets to pass through.

    WHAT'S NEW?  This technology now is automated.  Two traps work in tandem so the line never has to be shut down to clean the trap. When one trap is full, it diverts to the other.

    BENEFITS   No downtime and realized savings because there is no lost production time.
