# Industrial Specification: Polymer Extrusion Melt Filter Screen

## 1. Technical Definition
Perforated screen that filters contaminants from molten polymer during extrusion

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0.5-25 MPa at 200-300°C melt temperature**. Failure boundary: **Screen rupture at 28 MPa differential pressure or 350°C polymer temperature**, Mechanism: **Yield strength exceedance of 316L stainless steel (205 MPa at 300°C) combined with polymer degradation viscosity changes**.

### 2.1 Analytical Physics Model
Governed by the **Darcy-Weisbach Pressure Drop**:

> **Primary Equation**: $\Delta P = f \cdot \frac{L}{D} \cdot \frac{\rho v^2}{2}$  
> **Engineering Impact**: Critical for sizing CIP (Clean-In-Place) pump heads.

## 5. Engineering Risks & FAQ
- **Caution**: 
- **Caution**: 
- **Caution**: 

### Q: What is the maximum operating temperature for these polymer extrusion filter screens?
**A**: Our polymer extrusion melt filter screens are engineered for high-temperature applications, with maximum operating temperatures typically ranging from 500°C to 650°C depending on the material selection (Stainless Steel 316L or High-Temperature Nickel Alloy).

### Q: How does the filtration rating affect polymer extrusion quality?
**A**: The filtration rating, measured in microns, determines the size of contaminants removed from molten polymer. Proper micron filtration prevents nozzle clogging, reduces equipment wear, and ensures consistent polymer quality in the final extruded product.

### Q: What are the benefits of the three-layer BOM construction?
**A**: The three-layer construction (Edge Reinforcement, Filter Mesh, Support Grid) provides structural integrity under high pressure, prevents mesh deformation, ensures uniform filtration across the entire screen surface, and extends service life in demanding extrusion environments.

## 6. Manufacturing Compliance
- ISO 9001:2015 - QUALITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
- CE MARKING - EU MACHINERY DIRECTIVE 2006/42/EC
