Problem
Recycling post-consumer plastics requires melt flow screen changers, which rely on filters that often suffer from short lifespans and high replacement costs when sourced from original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). These traditional OEM filters can also have long lead times, causing operational delays and increased expenses for waste management and compounding processes.
Solution
This startup manufactures 316L stainless steel laser filters designed for melt flow screen changers used in plastics recycling, providing a durable and cost-effective alternative to traditional OEM filters. Their laser filters offer precise 120-micron mesh tolerances, ensuring consistent filtration performance and preventing contaminants from compromising the recycled plastic material. By using advanced laser cutting techniques, the company achieves superior filter strength and longevity, reducing the frequency of replacements and minimizing downtime. This approach allows recycling facilities and compounding operations to lower their operational expenses while maintaining high-quality output. The filters are engineered to withstand the demanding conditions of post-consumer plastic recycling, offering a reliable and long-lasting solution. Furthermore, the company offers significantly reduced lead times compared to traditional OEM options, ensuring timely availability and minimizing disruptions to production schedules.
