Ettlinger's adds the new 60 μm filter screen to its melt filters

摘要

Ettlinger's continuous melt filters regularly open up new possibilities for materials that have traditionally been considered too heavily contaminated or that contain extremely problematic contaminants.The new 60 urn filter screen makes the use of PET fines from recycled bottles an even more commercially attractive option.With unprecedented filtration fineness of 60 urn,Ettlinger's ECO melt filters will in the future make it easier to treat recycled material for the film,packaging tape and fiber industry and help plastics recyclers remove challenging contaminants like paints,silicones,barrier materials,cross-linked fractions and gels from the melt.In particular,the new filter screens will enable cost-efficient conversion of post-consumer PET bottle flake and fines,which generally occur in large amounts,into recycled material with excellent usage properties.
