BKG® HiCon™ V-Type 3G Continuous Backflush Piston Screen Changer
The BKG® HiCon™ V-Type 3G is equipped with a patented POWER BACKFLUSH technology, ensuring the highest efficiency and operating independently of the extrusion pressure.
It is our most powerful backflush melt filtration system - the perfect fit for highly contaminated polymers.
Overview
The BKG® HiCon™ V-Type 3G melt filter is uniquely capable of pressure-constant operation due to its patented Power-Backflush-Technology.
The melt pressure-controlled venting start feature helps you automate and stabilize your process, especially the operating pressure. Constant pressure is one of the most critical parameters in polymer processing systems, especially in the extrusion of film, sheet, and fibers.

Product Testimonials
We design & engineer products that withstand the test of time.
The higher efficiency of the V-Type 3G screen changer means fewer backflushes and less material waste. The system is particularly good in dealing with contamination surges, since the filtration area is regenerated very effectively in a short amount of time.
