Flow tester LCFT-34GP

comparisoninstallationfor filters

Product overview
Compact filter tester head with gear pump designed for straight-line melt flow from the extruder through the gear pump to the filter to simplify cleaning and ensure reproducible measurements. Quick clamping system enables fast installation and removal of filters. Fully computerized unit with on-board PC, keyboard and mouse for automatic calculation and recording of filter test values. Model LCFT-34GP is configured with a 20 mm extruder and a high-torque servo motor drive for the gear pump.

Technical comparison

• LFT44-GP with gear pump — Gear pump motor power: 0.75 kW; Pressure range at filter: 0 to max 300 bar; Gear pump inlet pressure: 0 to 100 bar; Recommended test quantity: 0.5 to 1.0 kg; Normal test time: 5 to 10 min.
• LFT34-GP with gear pump — Gear pump motor power: 0.75 kW; Pressure range at filter: 0 to max 300 bar; Gear pump inlet pressure: 0 to 100 bar; Recommended test quantity: 0.2 to 0.5 kg; Normal test time: 5 to 10 min.

Notes
Fully computerized operation automatically calculates filter test values and records results. The quick clamping system combined with straight-line melt flow facilitates filter exchange and cleaning, improving repeatability of test results.
