Polymer Leaf Disc Filter Maximizes the Effective Filter Area

Polymer leaf disc filter is made of sintered stainless steel (316L) wire mesh laminates or sintered metal non-woven felt medium. It is an ideal choice for polymer film production. The unique disc design and configuration help to maximize the increased effective filter area and shortened the residence time of the polymer, thereby lowering the risk of polymer degradation and offering fast, efficient filtration of polymer melt filtration applications.

In addition, we can also offer stainless steel (304, 316, etc.), Monel or other alloy as the filter media.

A polymer leaf disc filter is displayed.
Working Principle

Place the multiple installed leaf disc filters into the horizontal filter housing. Melt with impurities enters from the inlet and flows towards the filter elements from the top and the bottom. Gel impurities are trapped on the filter surface and clean melt flows into the center tube from the hub holes and then flows out of the vessel.

Structure

Polymer leaf disc filter consists of the main body, hub and star support frame.

The detailed structure of polymer leaf disc filter
Main Body
  1. 1 Protective layer. Typically, it is made of stainless steel to protect the filter media.
  2. 2 Filtration layer. Play the main role in filtration.
  3. 3 Support layer. Support the filtration layer.
  4. 4 Drainage layer. Guide the clean melt to flow towards the center tube.
  5. 5 Mesh support layer. Support the whole mesh structure.
Support Frame
  1. 6 Keep the space between adjacent disc filters being maintained and guide the fluid to flow towards the center tube evenly.
Hub
  1. 7 Hard hub
  2. 8 Semi-hard hub
  3. 9 Soft hub (It is not recommended for micron rating at 10 μm and below)
