Continuous & Hydraulic Screen Changers
Screen changers that protect product quality
Screen changers are a vital component in any extrusion line, used to filter out contaminants from the polymer melt before it reaches the die. Clean, consistent polymer flow is essential to ensure high product quality, prevent equipment damage, and maintain process efficiency. Over time, filter screens become blocked with impurities and must be replaced regularly. The method and speed of screen replacement can significantly impact output rates, product consistency, and overall running costs.
UK Extrusion supplies advanced screen changers from BD Plast, a globally recognised manufacturer of downstream extrusion technology. From cost-effective manual systems to fully automatic continuous flow solutions, BD Plast screen changers are engineered for precision, durability, and easy maintenance across a wide range of applications.
