Gneuss will present a new Rotary Filtration System SFneos, second generation multiple screw extruder MRS

Gneuss Filtration Technology will exhibit several different models of their patented Rotary Filtration Systems. These continuous filtration systems are characterized by a filter disk on which the screen cavities are located in a ring pattern. Screens can be changed on the part of the filter disk that is not active in the melt channel, while the production process continues to run without any interruptions or disturbances.

The new model SFneos was developed to combine the charactertistics of several older models into one simple and cost-efiicient solution, offering the following advantages:

  • Constant pressure guaranteed  – even during screen changes
  • Suitable for most types of polymers and viscosities
  • Compact design thanks to an enlarged active screen area
    (up to 2370 cm2)
  • Simple and safe handling and operation with several screens accessible for screen changes
  • Very cost effective thanks to its improved design

The SFneos is the ideal filtration system for applications that benefit from a continuous, pressure and process constant screen changer, but that don’t require back-flushing. The SFneos 90 on display has an active screen area of 260 cm2 .

Gneuss’ top model, the RSFgenius, operates with an integrated self cleaning system for very demanding applications and highest quality requirements. Screens can be automatically re-used up to 400 times and filtration finenesses below 10 microns/1200 mesh are available. There will be different sizes on display, including an RSFgenius 330, which will be the biggest filter on the Gneuss booth this year. It offers an active filtration area of 2150 cm2 and will be shipped to an end customer in Southern Europe after the show.

Last but by no means least, Gneuss will exhibit two KF screen changers, a KF 75 with an active screen area of 44 cm2 and a KF 110 with an active screen area of 95 cm2 .
