Parallel-disc continuous disc filter from MAS Maschinen can boost extrusion line productivity

This story appeared in the Winter 2017 edition of Plastics Recycling magazine.

MAS CDF 500-D disc filter: MAS Maschinen und Anlagenbau Schulz GmbH, Pucking, Austria, has updated its parallel-disc continuous disc filter. It has a filter surface area of about 505 square inches and a maximum throughput exceeding 4,400 pounds per hour. In the U.S., eFactor3 represents MAS.

What's new? Upgrades of the scraper and contamination-discharge systems, which debuted at the K show.

Benefits: Better ergonomics, thanks to the new design. The system can boost the productivity of extrusion lines in recycling applications, and screens can last as long as six months, depending on contamination levels. The system allows users to produce recycled materials with contamination levels under 5 percent.
