Built for Tough Contaminants. Engineered for Purity.
Amstar’s Laser Filter System is designed to address one of the most critical challenges in plastic recycling: the efficient removal of solid industrial contaminants such as wood chips, paper fibers, stones, metal flakes, and other non-melting residues.
Whether handling post-consumer waste, agricultural film, or rigid packaging, the Amstar Laser Filter ensures stable filtration, high slag discharge efficiency, and minimal material loss—even with the dirtiest input materials.
Key Advantages at a Glance
| Feature | Description |
| Targeted Impurity Removal | Specially optimized for non-melting industrial solids like wood, paper, and stone. |
| Two-Stage Filtration | Integrated coarse + fine filtering in one step — ideal for heavily contaminated materials. |
| Self-Cleaning Disc System | Laser-drilled disc filter with continuous or manual/automatic cleaning modes. |
| Pressure Monitoring | Equipped with real-time pressure sensors to regulate filter cleaning and avoid clogging. |
| Low Waste | Efficient slag removal reduces polymer loss during continuous operation. |
Working Principle
The Amstar Laser Filter employs a rotating disc system featuring laser-drilled micro-holes. As the melt flows across the filter surface:
- Coarse filtration captures larger contaminants like paper and wood.
- Fine filtration ensures downstream equipment receives high-purity melt.
- Slag removal is triggered by pressure thresholds or cleaning cycles, either automatically or via manual control.
This results in continuous, non-stop filtration — no production halt, no manual mesh changing.
