Polymer melt filtration

Polymer melt filtration is a process used to remove impurities or impurities from polymer melts. This process is often used during polymer processing to ensure the quality and performance of the final product. Melt filtration is commonly performed during extrusion, injection molding and other melt processing processes.

In polymer processing, raw materials may contain various impurities such as residual particles, metal fragments, pigments or other impurities. These impurities may affect the performance, appearance or service life of the final product. Therefore, the removal of these impurities through melt filtration becomes critical.

Melt filtration is usually achieved using filter media such as metal mesh, filter elements or screens. These filter media come in different pore sizes and the appropriate filter media can be selected based on your needs. During melt filtration, the melt is pushed through the filter media while impurities are retained on or trapped in the media. In this way, through melt filtration, impurities in the melt can be effectively removed and the quality of the final product can be improved.

Melt filtration is a common practice in the polymer processing industry where it helps ensure products meet quality standards and can reduce scrap and increase production efficiency.
