Process and finishing accessories: perfecting your recycled pellet quality
In industrial recycling, feeding the extruder is only half the battle. To produce a pellet that rivals virgin resin, you need precise control over melt purity and finishing. Plasmac offers a comprehensive suite of process accessories designed to filter contaminants and remove volatiles. Whether you need a screen changer for extruder uptime or a vacuum degassing system for printed films, our integrated solutions ensure your final product meets the highest technical standards.
Don’t compromise on pellet quality
- Total contaminant removal. Our range of screen changers ensures that paper, wood, metal, and unmelted polymers are filtered out efficiently, protecting downstream equipment and final product quality
- Volatile elimination. High-efficiency vacuum degassing removes moisture and ink residues, preventing foaming and ensuring solid, odor-free pellets even from printed scrap.
Tailored solutions for every process stage
Select the technology needed to upgrade your extrusion line’s performance.
Melt filtration (Screen Changers)
Ensure contaminant-free melt with our versatile filtration range.
Manual Series
A simple, cost-effective manual screen changer suitable for cleaner scrap streams where frequent changes are not required.
Hydraulic Series
A robust hydraulic screen changer for continuous operation. It allows for faster screen swaps, minimizing downtime during production runs.
Backflushing Series
A fully automatic backflushing screen changer for demanding applications. Ideally suited for highly contaminated post-industrial waste, it cleans itself to maintain constant pressure.
Volatile removal and degassing
Remove moisture and ink gases from your polymer.
Vacuum Degassing Station
Available in single or double venting configurations. This moisture removal system allows you to run printed or hygroscopic materials without bubble formation.
Why integrate Plasmac accessories?
Buying your process technology from your extruder manufacturer guarantees seamless compatibility.
Integrated control logic
Our screen changers and degassing systems communicate directly with the extruder PLC. If filter pressure rises, the screw speed adjusts automatically; if vacuum drops, the alarm triggers instantly.
Single source responsibility
Eliminate compatibility issues between vendors. We dimension the filtration area and vacuum capacity to match your specific extruder output perfectly.
Energy efficiency
Our vacuum pumps and hydraulic power units are selected for maximum efficiency, ensuring that improved quality doesn’t come with a prohibitive energy bill.
