Anordnung zum Filtern von Kunststoffschmelzen

摘要

The invention relates to an arrangement for filtering plastic melts. Dirty filter elements (4, 4) can be liberated from collected dirt particles by means of backwashing. The melt (8) used for backwashing is deviated from the main melt flow and can optionally and additionally be impinged upon by conveying elements. Backwash is periodically initiated according to the time and/or the degree of soiling of the filter element to be cleaned. The aim of the invention is to improve the inventive arrangement in such a way that cleaning is optimal according to the degree of soiling of the filter element to be cleaned respectively. A control device (7) is provided which detects the melt volume and/or the flow rate of the backwashing melt during a backwashing procedure.
