Filters for the plastic industry

The plastic industry is a dynamic and innovative sector that produces a wide range of products, ranging from packaging to automotive parts and consumer electronics. On this page, we explore the role of filtration in the plastic industry, why it is vital, the common filters used, important considerations when selecting filters, and how Interfilter can provide you with non-binding filter advice.

Why is filtration important in the plastic industry?

Filtration in the plastic industry is essential for several reasons:

  • Product quality: Clean raw materials and process air/gases are crucial to produce high-quality plastic products without impurities or contaminants.
  • Equipment protection: Filtration protects injection molding machines, extruders, and other equipment from wear and damage caused by particles in the production process.
  • Efficiency: Efficient filtration enhances overall production efficiency by minimizing downtime and unplanned maintenance.
  • Environmental compliance: Filtration helps reduce emissions and comply with environmental standards and regulations.

Important considerations when selecting filters in the plastic industry

When selecting filters in the plastic industry, there are important considerations:

  • Applicability: Filters must be suitable for the specific application, such as air versus liquid filtration, and the nature of contaminants to be removed.
  • Efficiency: Filtration efficiency must match the requirements for product quality and environmental compliance.
  • Materials and chemical resistance: Filters must withstand the chemical composition of the substances to be filtered to ensure durability.
  • Conformity: Filters must comply with the industry standards and regulations applicable to plastic production.
