Maag’s new CSC/BF-PE range features fully automated screen cleaning, adjustable to any kind of process. Mate- rial needed for backflushing is collected in a permanently flushed accumulating space, which the company says helps to avoid variations in pressure and volume. It further asserts that the flow channel geometry is entirely free from any dead spots. The recycling screen chang- ers are based on a double- piston design, which operates without any additional seals. CSC / BF-PE screen changers will be available in a range of sizes and can be incorporated into existing extrusion lines. Maag Pump Systems AG Hall 9 Booth 5
