Gneuss: New generation of the Filtration System SFXmagnus enhanced performance with lower investment costs

Gneuß Kunststofftechnik GmbH (www.gneuss.com) offers the latest generation SFXmagnus screen changer with new features based on its proven "gneussconstant" (fully automatic, pressure- and process-constant operation) performance. Thanks to a new concept for the heating of this system, the polymer melt can be filtered even more gently. The completely encapsulated system means that there is no prevents chemical reactions with oxygen or airborne moisture. Specially developed retaining plates ensure perfect location and sealing of the filter elements even at filtration fineness of 10 µm.

The drive system for most of the model sizes has been completely revised and operates pneumatically instead of hydraulically - a major advantage as no hydraulic power pack is required. This has resulted in a reduction of the investment costs of up to 20 % compared with the previous design.

The performance characteristics of the SFXmagnus can be summarised as follows:
• Permanent polymer purity and product quality
• Permanent pressure stability, even during screen changes
• Active filtration area up to 1,8 m²
• Suitable for all types of polymer and the whole range of melt viscosities
• Simple and reliable operator interface
• Completely encapsulated design - external influences can be completely excluded
• Fast return on investment - attractive value for money

The SFXmagnus should be therefore, the ideal screen changer for applications whereby process constant and/or pressure constant operation is either required or useful, but for which a self - cleaning system is not absolutely necessary.
