GEM the exclusive screen changer!

Bear in mind that the RAS model has 5 different diameters that can be adapted to the extruder according to the hourly production, plastic material to be recycled, and the filtration for the final application needed.

Unlike its competitors, FIMIC reaches a filtration of approximately 4,000 cm2 with a single screen. Thanks to this particular filtering surface, FIMIC has managed to reach very high production rates with very fine filtrations, for example 2.000 kilos of LDPE per hour for film application at 100 micron, or up to 3.000 kilos per hour for HDPE MFI 0.5 material with 200 micron filtration.

In some cases, however, the market requires higher quantities than those already achieved with the current productions. Furthermore, FIMIC always wants to guarantee the lowest possible pressure so that the contamination is effectively blocked by the screen and, also, to avoid that the contamination pass through the drilling of the screen because of the excessive pressure. For this reason, FIMIC always tries to guarantee a high filtering surface, which increases the quality of the final product and does not degrade those materials that are sensitive to temperature and pressure, such as LDPE.

In view of an increasing production and more complex material in terms of filtration and MFI, FIMIC has developed a new filter: the GEM model.

GEM derives from Gemini. For the first time FIMIC produces a filter equipped with two screens to guarantee a greater filtering surface than that of the RAS700. In this case we will in fact have two screens and two discharge valves, guaranteeing a filtering area of 5,552 cm2 with a single machine!

This innovation will increase the extruder production keeping the highest quality of the final product, while guaranteeing the simplicity that distinguishes FIMIC and the maximum reduction in the cost of operation. Most importantly, the market does not offer the possibility of having only one machine, only two screens and only two valves that guarantee this filtering surface. This will not only allow shorter residence of the material, lower energy consumption and lower consumption of spare parts, but also less waste and a more efficient and faster replacement of the screen.

FIMIC is therefore waiting for you at the K not only to admire this new filter, which makes FIMIC the only company to have 5 types of automatic filters adaptable to any extruder and any application, but also to see two of the models on display, RAS and ERA, in the stands of extruder manufacturers with whom we normally collaborate.

FIMIC guarantees support and assistance even for new lines, with Italian or foreign contractors. Five electrician, mechanics and installers will be available to you to guarantee the commissioning of your FIMIC automatic filter.
