BKG® NorCon™ EM/EMR Discontinuous Manual Melt Filter
Manual melt filters are the least expensive and most suitable option for processes that require infrequent changes. The BKG® NorCon™ EM/EMR is our most basic discontinuous melt filter suitable for extrusion and recycling processes.
Overview
Manual screen changers minimize costly downtime for screen replacement. With a simple swing of the handle lever during a routine shutdown, clean screens are quickly brought on-line. No line disconnection occurs, and full production is re-established.
Retrofit
The BKG® NorCon™ EM can easily be retrofitted with a ratchet mechanism mounted to the top. This ratchet increases the leverage, meaning that the BKG® NorCon™ EMR model requires less force to operate the swivel plate.

Benefitting Your Process
Increase Profitability
- Low capital and operating costs
- Save polymer usage through the leak-free operation
- Optimize productivity by fast shift screen changes
- Increase flexibility by retrofitting the high-temperature seal option (for temperatures between 260-343°C (500-650°F)
Increase Quality
- Prevent polymer degradation by ensuring short residence time of the melt thanks to rheologically optimized flow channels
Increase Convenience
- Compact extruder interface
- Easy exchange of the screw without the need to dismount the melt filter thanks to extruder screw pull-through design
- Maximize operator safety through the fully guarded and electronically interlocked design
- Reduce operator effort to shift the slide plate for screen change using the ratchet option (EMR)
