ERA Built to handle highly contaminated plastic, Fimic's new automatic filtration unit combines two filtering stages within one extruder. It uses two filtering chambers, with steel blades for scraping contamination from two separate screens. The first filtration chamber, which has a punched screen, filters coarse materials, while the second chamber, with a laser-drilled screen, handles finer materials as small as 150 microns.
What's new? The system, which made its debut last year in Europe and is now available in the U.S.
Benefits Consistent, fine filtration and the ability to handle higher-value materials. Double filtration allows recyclers to handle a wider range of materials, including PP and HDPE, and replaces the need for tandem extruder lines.
