HOW GORILLABELT T WORKS

The system asset lies in its continuity. Gorillabelt T guarantees uninterrupted melt flow without any significant pressure peak during screen changings. The material normally flows through two melt channels, each channel has a screen belt filtering impurities. Each channel features two valves to close it when required and one mechanical knee to move the plate that sticks together with the breaker to make a seal and prevent any melt leaks.

Anytime the pressure value reaches the set threshold, the screen change process starts. The two valves close the channel, the plate is moved of few millimeters to let the screen free to advance and replace the dirty section with a clean and fresh one. Once the filtering screen has been changed, the two valves reopen the channel. The whole cycle lasts about 10 seconds.

GORILLABELT T ADVANTAGES

Thanks to this innovative screen changer, performances of your production line can be enhanced as follows:

• zero polymer loss during cleaning cycle
• production of excellent quality materials with zero or extremely low levels of impurities
• use of smart raw materials, e.g. highly-contaminated post-consumer plastic, up to 10% of contamination level
• extrusion of most thermoplastics, including PET
• automation level increase,easily programmable and user friendly controls
• increase of output rates
• reduction of personnel costs involved in manual operation
• reduction in system shutdowns
• reduction of maintenance interventions
• reduction of energy consumption
• reduction of personnel involved
• 24/7 uninterrupted production, with no interruptions or downtimes
