Filtratest

Validate purity and precisely determine impurity concentrations in spinnable polymers (e.g. PET, PA) and other thermoplastic melts.

Your advantages

  • Quick change of sieves with drawer system
  • Integrated pre-heating of the sieve package
  • Short-time cycle times
  • continuous extrusion procedure by bypass option of the melt flow
  • Comfortable Windows Software
  • Option: sliding funnel combination for flushing ring and sample

Analysis of polymer impurities

The Filtratest is used to check the purity and accurately determine foreign particle concentrations in spinnable polymers (e.g. PET, PA) and other thermoplastic melts.

The melt flows through a fine-meshed filter disc, in which the foreign particles are gradually deposited. The deposited dirt particles increase the pressure, which is measured by transducers and recorded during the measurement.

Subsequent analysis of the sieves allows indications of the type and quantity of polymer contamination.
