ANCILLARY EQUIPMENT chines , capable of adding value to the processing of plastic materials : Break Machinery perfectly represents this renewed corporate identity The company ’ s aim is to achieve the highest standards in the field of filtration , establishing itself as a reference point for regenerators and compounders in the industry . Break ’ s great attention to environmental sustainability is also visible in its new corporate colour : orange makes way for Green , more in tune with the company ’ s values . However , it is not just a change of colour : for Break , being Green means strongly believing in the importance of the circular economy and recycling , having respect for the Environment and creating products that contribute to preserving it . The new EU Ecodesign Regulation 2019 / 1781 came into force on the 1st of July 2021 : Break machines further confirms its commitment to its values by equipping all machinery with energyefficient motors , which have 20 per cent lower dispersions than conventional motors . This improves the eco-friendliness of Break ’ s filter changers , while still maintaining high performance levels . After Break WP , the first screen changer presented by the company , met with great success on the national and international markets , Break ’ s Research & Development team engineered new filtration technologies that led to the design of Break DUO , a newly conceived screen changer based on an innovative filtering system . This machine , the result of continuous research for process improvement , has been extensively field-tested at Break ’ s production lines with excellent results , both in terms of productivity and filtering capacity . You will be able to view it during its official presentation event at the next edition of the K exhibtion in Düsseldorf . Break Machinery will be in Hall9 / Booth E06 . The machinery offer is complemented by an extensive stock of components and a production of
Principle of operation
The melted plastic material ( 1 ) is conveyed into the filtration chamber ( 2 ) and passes through two laser filters ( 3 ) opposed to each other . Between the two filters is a scraper disc ( 4 ) with interchangeable blades , which rotates to remove the contamination deposited on the filters , channelling it into the disc itself ( 5 ). The centre of the scraper disc is in communication with an independent discharge screw ( 6 ) that expels the contaminated material . The melted plastic material filtered ( 7 ) from the two filters then re-joins the outlet channel ( 8 ) to pass on to the next process . Break Machinery offers the possibility of carrying out filtration tests with the customer ’ s own material at its regeneration lines .
laser filters - a central element in the operation of the filter changer . The range includes filters of different sizes , with filtration level from 60 to 400 microns . In addition to standard products , customisation products based on specific customer requirements is also possible .
