Nordson BKG® - K-SWE Continuous Screen Changer
Continuous melt filters from Nordson increase product quality significantly by ensuring a constant process pressure with no line shutdowns bringing maximum efficiency to your extrusion operation. Suitable for plastics extrusion, compounding, and recycling applications.
Overview
Known for being one of the first filtration systems built in the Nordson portfolio, The BKG® NorCon™ K-SWE is a dependable design, which our future technologies are based off of.
The BKG® NorCon™ K-SWE model is based on a proven double-piston design with two screen cavities. During screen change, only one of the pistons is moved out of the housing, allowing the other filter cavity to remain in operation for process consistency.
It is best suited for processing normal to low contamination levels when your upstream components provide a high inlet pressure.
Automated Venting
The BKG® NorCon™ K-SWE can be equipped with an automated melt pressure-controlled venting start feature. This provides reliable, repeatable, and independent of material, throughput, temperature, system pressure, and viscosity changes venting procedure, ensuring a high-quality end-product.
