SMF Filter for SMN Mixing Nozzle

SMF Filter for SMN Mixing Nozzle

Product catalog summary
Introduction
The SMF Filter is designed for use with the SMN Injection Molding Mixing Nozzle. It serves multiple purposes, including protecting the hot runner system and mold from clogging and damage caused by metal pieces accidentally introduced with feed pellets. It also retains semi-molten polymer pellets until they are fully melted and incorporated into the polymer melt.

Specifications
The SMF Filter is designed to retrofit into the SMN Injection Molding Mixing Nozzle without requiring modifications. The outer diameter (O.D.) of the SMF Filter matches that of the SMN Mixing Elements, and the length of one SMF Filter equals the length of two SMN Mixing Elements.

Key Dimensions
Table #1 provides the key dimensions for various models of the SMF Filter, including inside diameter (I.D.), outside diameter (O.D.), number of slots in parallel (NSP), and length of filter (LF). The table also notes that the width of slots (BBSP) can be adjusted within a specified range.

Material and Flow Direction
The SMF Filter is made from DIN 1.2344 (X40CrMoV51) material and is nitrided. It supports bi-directional flow, meaning it can be installed and operated with flow in either direction.

Figures and Tables
Figures included in the document illustrate the SMF Filter in various sizes and its integration with the SMN Mixing Nozzle. Table #1 provides detailed dimensions for different SMF Filter models, highlighting compatibility with corresponding SMN Mixing Nozzles.

StaMixCo LLC 235 - 84th Street Brooklyn, NY 11209 USA SMF Filter Product Bulletin SMF Filter for SMN Mixing NozzleThe SMF Filter is designed to be used with the SMN Injection Molding Mixing Nozzle. The purpose and functionality of the SMF filter are numerous: • Protects hot runner system and mold by avoiding clogging and/or damage caused my metal pieces accidentally introduced with the feed pellets to the injection molding machine (metal chips, staples, paper clips, etc). • Retains semi-molten polymer pellets until melted for incorporation into the polymer melt. • For customer with poor thermal control systems, the SMF Filter acts as an upstream breaker-plate to prevent “cold-start” crushing of the mixing elements. • Designed to retrofit into the SMN Injection Molding Mixing Nozzle without nozzle modification • O.D. of SMF Filter = O.D. of SMN Mixing Elements • Length of one (1) SMF Filter = Length of two (2) SMN Mixing Elements..
