FILTER DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240009902 titled 'FILTER DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a filter device for plasticized molding material that includes a filter body and an adjusting body. The adjusting body can move between a first position and a second position relative to the filter body. In the first position, a first flow path is formed for the plasticized molding material, allowing it to be filtered. In the second position, a second flow path is formed, which allows for flushing and/or backflushing of the channels and/or filter element.
- The filter device is designed to filter plasticized molding material.
- It includes a filter body and an adjusting body that can move between two positions.
- In the first position, a flow path is formed for the material to be filtered.
- In the second position, a flow path is formed for flushing and/or backflushing.
- The device allows for the channels and/or filter element to be cleaned.
Potential Applications:
- Plastic injection molding processes
- Extrusion processes
- Blow molding processes
Problems Solved:
- Contaminants and impurities in plasticized molding material can affect the quality of the final product.
- Traditional filters may become clogged and require manual cleaning or replacement.
- Flushing and backflushing can help maintain the performance of the filter device.
Benefits:
- Improved quality of plasticized molding material by removing contaminants.
- Reduced downtime and maintenance costs due to the ability to flush and backflush the filter device.
- Increased efficiency and productivity in molding processes.
Original Abstract Submitted
a filter device for plasticized molding material includes a filter body and an adjusting body movable relative to the filter body between a first position and a second position. in the first position, a first flow path for the plasticized molding material is defined by channels in the filter body and in the adjusting body, and the first flow path is formed such that the plasticized molding material is filtered. in the second position, a second flow path for the plasticized molding material is defined by channels in the filter body and in the adjusting body, and the second flow path is formed such that the channels and/or a filter element are at least partially flushed and/or backflushed.
