The optimum solution for demanding filter applications

HASCO will present the innovative hole filter H5055/…, a pioneering development for demanding melt filtration. The innovative design, which is unrivalled on the market in this form, reduces shear and thus contributes to retaining the mechanical properties of the plastic. In addition, the pressure loss is kept to a minimum.
The filter has been specially designed for use in machine nozzles and sprue bushings. Through the sophisticated design made of corrosion-resistant stainless steel, with more than 1,000 angled holes, the melt flow is optimised in order to keep the shear and the flow rate in the holes to a minimum. This enables, in a market comparison, the lowest pressure loss with the same filtering performance.  

The filter also stands out from the rest through its long service life and ease of cleaning. Sediment can be easily removed from outside, with dead spots being avoided by the conical geometry. As a result, the maintenance intervals are reduced and the operating costs lowered. This enables a considerable reduction in machine downtimes and ensures consistently high productivity in production.

In tests with highly abrasive materials, it was found that the innovative, low-shear design also produces remarkable results as regards wear on the filter.
With minimum pressure loss, high efficiency and long service life, the new hole filter H5055/… is the ideal solution for the demanding applications in plastics processing, even under difficult production conditions.
