What Are BKG® Screen Changers?
Nordson’s BKG® screen changers are used in industrial melt filtration processes to enhance the quality of the resulting plastics and other materials.
Our screen changers are designed to remove contaminants and impurities from molten polymers. During plastic processing, our screen changers enable melt filtration on polymers that will eventually be used to create end products, from packaging film to construction materials. You’ll find continuous, discontinuous, self-cleaning, and large-area/high-capacity screen changers among our broad range of products, each with their own benefits and qualities. For example, continuous screen changers allow screens to be replaced without halting production, minimizing downtime and ensuring a steady, efficient operation.
Many industries rely on our melt filtration solutions for polymer processing applications like polymerization, compounding, plastic recycling, and extrusion. The Nordson BKG® product range includes everything from recycling filters capable of managing high contamination levels, to filtration accessories designed to ensure optimal process efficiency. If your company needs trouble-free polymer processing equipment, you can trust our BKG® screen changers and melt filtration systems to ensure a clean, homogenous melt.
Please contact Nordson today to discuss how you can optimize your plastic processing operations with our high-quality screen changers.
Our Range of Screen Changers
Nordson’s BKG® screen changers are your go-to solution for pure, contaminant-free melted plastic. Known worldwide for innovative polymer processing equipment, the BKG® brand represents precision, quality, and reliability. Our screen changers are expertly designed melt filters that will ensure your end products achieve the flawless quality your brand deserves. Nordson provides the right technology to improve your plastic processing and set your products apart.
- Our discontinuous melt filters are an affordable choice for polymer filtration when infrequent screen changes and production pauses are acceptable. Designed for exceptional plastic extrusion, they ensure your molten polymer stays free of impurities.
- NorCon continuous melt filters ensure efficient, uninterrupted production during frequent screen changes. With 2 to 4 screen cavities always in operation, they maintain seamless filtration. Ideal for applications like polymerization, recycling, compounding, and extrusion, they deliver reliable performance across many plastic processing tasks.
- Optimize your polymer processing with BKG® self-cleaning screen changers. Featuring an automated backflush function, they clean blocked screens and extend the time between changes, ensuring efficiency and top performance, even with highly contaminated polymer melts.
- For large-scale polymer filtration, our high-capacity screen changers deliver unmatched continuity, efficiency, and quality. Our melt filters are built for maximum performance and reliability.
- Our melt filtration accessories include breaker plates, screen retainers, filter candles, super plates, and the Nordson Screen Pack. We also carry the BKG® FlexDisc™ for larger filtration areas.
- The newest item in our collection is the BKG® HiCon™ K-SWE-HD/RS which enables up to 100% recycled plastics in blown film without line shutdown
