High Performance Melt Filters

Patented polymer filtration As a specialist for polymer filtration and recycling systems, ETTLINGER develops custom melt-filtration systems for the international market. Our core competency is in the development and manufacture of high-performance continuous melt filters and injection molding machines. On the melt filtration side, we provide systems for continuous filtration of feedstock with varying degrees of contamination. Our patented systems remove contaminants such as paper, aluminum, wood, silicones or high-melting polymer composites from all standard polymer materials. When it comes to...

Roderich Ettlinger, a mechanical engineer by trade, founds the company as a manufacturer of plastic injection molding and customized machines. A new production shop opens to respond to the increased demand for ETTLINGER products. The first “ERF 200”, ETTLINGER‘s patented melt filter system, enters the market with immediate success. 2010 After 27 years steering the company’s success, Roderich Ettlinger makes way for his son Thorsten and Volker Neuber, who have since been responsible respectively for the technical and commercial development. 2013 ETTLINGER North America is established in Atlanta...

High performance melt filters Our continuously operating, high performance melt filters are used successfully around the world to filter polymer feedstock with varying degrees of contamination. ETTLINGER melt filters are the perfect technology for processing a variety of recycled materials – with a patented principle that has already demonstrated its functionality and performance in many industrial applications throughout the globe. The ERF and ECO series are capable of processing virtually any standard polymer that occurs in recycling plants, sheet and film manufacturing, tape and fiber production,...

All ETTLINGER high performance melt filters are based on the same principle: Melt flows from the outside to the inside of a continuously rotating filter drum with a large number of conical holes. The contaminants contained in the melt are retained on the outside filter surface; they are immediately removed from the screen by a scraper and then fed to the discharge system. The filter drum and discharge system speeds can be adjusted independently of one another, so that in spite of the many possible applications the optimum setting can always be selected from both a processing and an economic perspective....

ERF series The continuous melt filters in the ERF series are suitable for materials with up to 16 % by weight contamination and are guaranteed to remain in use for long periods without changing the filter. Our ERF melt filters are capable of processing a wide range of polymers (e.g. LDPE, LLDPE, HDPE, PP, PS, ABS, PC / ABS, TPE, TPU, POM). All solid or elastomer foreign particles such as paper, wood, aluminum, copper, rubber, silicone, or high-melting polymer composites are efficiently removed. The classic application for ERF melt filters is repelletizing lines, but they are also successfully...

ECO series The continuous melt filters in the ECO series are equally suited for filtering polymer feedstock from industrial waste with a low level of contamination or lightly contaminated post-consumer waste, and they can also be used for clean virgin material. Our ECO melt filters are capable of processing a wide range of polymers but due to their special design are mainly employed in PET and PA applications. All solid or elastomer foreign particles such as gels, black specs, paper, wood, aluminum, copper, rubber, silicone or high-melting polymer composites are efficiently removed. In particular,...
