T he Leader in Continuous Melt Filtration Since 1969 FILTER RIBBON FOR ALL BELT-TYPE SCREEN CHANGERS Most Orders Shipped Within 24 Hours RECYCLING MATERIALS HANDLING High-Output Filter for High-Contamination Applications The GorillaBelt melt filter from Italy's Cofit International is now available in the U.S. from Melt Filtration Products, Charlotte, N.C. The unit is suited to processing both post-consumer and post-industrial material. In Europe, the machine has been running at multiple locations on lines with 10-15% contamination at throughputs of 7000 lb/hr. The GorillaBelt reportedly removes sand, glass, metals, paper, cardboard, and other non-melt polymer, while filtering as fine as 90 μm. The Goril- laBelt offers continuous operation by eliminating line stops to change out screens, drums, or disks. Cofit has established a North American operation in San Diego for tech- nical support and parts. 877-218-1919 • meltfiltrationproducts.com High-Lift Box Dumper Comes With Vibratory Feeder The Tip-Tite Bulk Transfer System from Flexicon, Bethlehem, Pa., moves material from boxes into a mobile bin with a vibratory feeder that supplies multiple downstream processes. All-stainless-steel construction allows handling of corrosive materials and/or wash down between runs of contamination-sensitive products. Casters mounted at the base of the bin allow it to be rolled away from processing areas for a complete washdown. Boxes measuring 36 to 48 in. on a side and 39 to 44 in. high are loaded at floor level and raised hydraulically to seat against a discharge hood. The assembly is then hydrau- lically elevated and tipped, which mates the spout of the discharge hood to a gasketed receiving ring installed on the lid of the mobile bin. The dust-tight connection allows opening of a pneumatic slide gate and discharging of material into the bin with no contamination of the product or plant environment, while permit- ting partially empty boxes to be returned to the plant floor with no dusting. Once the bin is rolled or forklifted to a downstream process, material flows through a pneumatic slide gate into a vibratory feeder equipped with eccentric weights for gentle, volumetric metering. 888-353-9426 • flexicon.com @plastechmag 75 Plastics Technology N E W P R O D U C T S F O R P L A S T I C S P R O C E S S I N G
