The In-Line Filter (ILF) is a convenient, low-cost side-access melt filter for batch runs. Screen changes can be accomplished in as little as five minutes and do not require line disassembly. Used in a broad range of applications including filtration for gels in film and small carbon particulate in optical grade polymers, these compact filters have no moving parts and can be applied to extruders as small as 2 inches in diameter while easily accommodating the output of a 6-inch extruder. Cylindrical filter elements, which can be wire cloth or pleat offer greater filter area for longer runtimes between screen changes or otherwise to reduce pressure drop when filtering to fine micron levels.
