BKG® NorCon™ Manual Screen Changer EM-1

BKG® NorCon™ EM / XM Manual Screen Changer Normal operation: 1 screen cavity (100%) in the process Backflush: Screen change: During a screen change, the screen cavity (100%) in the process is removed manually, indexing the other screen cavity (100%) into operation Applications From the worldwide leader in filtration equipment, Nordson offers the EM and XM manual screen changers. Contamination of the melt stream by metal, wood, paper or internally generated black specks yields products that are unacceptable in appearance and/or performance. Manual screen changers are the least expensive and most suitable option for processes that require infrequent changes. Manual screen changers minimize costly downtime for screen replacement. With a simple swing of the handle lever during routine shutdown, clean screens are quickly brought on-line. No line disconnection occurs, and full production is re-established. As an option, the EMP and XMP models add air assist to the shifting of the slide plate.

The actual rates are dependent upon the viscosity of the material, filtration fineness, application, and the contamination level of the material; therefore, the values may differ depending on the actual process parameter
