When performing a filter pressure test (FPT), the differential pressure increase is dependent on the retention characteristics of the filter media. In order to get accurate, comparable results it is important that the filter media is assembled exactly to specification. Any change in specification, such as weaving pattern, surface condition, and especially the number of apertures per unit length and read more >

When deciding on the right filtration screen for your extruder, what element is the most fundamental? Is it the mesh count? Or maybe the material used to make it? What about the size and shape of the screen?

All four are crucial to consider when choosing extruder screens, but with so many variables to consider in the polymer extrusion process, it read more >

Rupture discs, or blow plugs, are simple devices intended to relieve overpressure within an extruder barrel, preventing pressure related incidents which could cause damage to machinery or injury to personnel. However, if an incident does occur, your blow plug provider should be able to provide you with the testing procedure used during manufacture of the units, a certification of the read more >
