Hydraulic Screen Changer (HSC) : Features

The document describes a Hydraulic Screen Changer (HSC) that offers quick screen changes for polymer filtration processes. The HSC uses a two-position slide plate to rapidly move screen packs in and out of the melt stream in under a second. It features a patented pressure-activated sealing system that provides a leak-free seal and long service life without maintenance. The HSC is suitable for applications in film, sheet, pipe production and other processes that require occasional screen changes.
