TASD - Diverter Valve and Screen Changer Unit
fig. 3.1
The Diverter Valve and Screen Changer Unit consists of the housing (1) and a screen bolt (2),
moveable at left angles to the melt flow. The bolt is equipped additionally with a diverter valve
boring. The screen bolt is moved by a hydraulic cylinder (3). The hydraulic unit (not showend) is
connected to the cylinder by tubes. The screen bolt has one opening for installing a screen as well as a
start-up channel. Filters made of one or several layers of rectangular wire screen are put into the
screen openings. The outer sealing of the screen chamber is guaranteed by the snug fit of the bolt in
the housing. The unit is heated electrically by heating cartridges and can be equipped with
temperature sensing elements to control the temperature. Safety hoods (5,6) prevent contact with the
movable parts of the Diverter Valve and Screen Changer Unit. The unit is mounted on a base plate
(7).

3.2 Function
fig. 3.2
The valve bolt can be shifted in the housing by means of a hydraulic cylinder. The production
position (B) and the diverting position (A) of the bolt are determined by the limits switches at the
ends of travel of t he piston in the hydraulic cylinder.In the discontinuous screening process, the flow
of molten plastic is led through a channel a screening chamber after entering the screen changer
housing. The screen are supported by a screen support plate within the bolt.
The high speed of the valve bolt permits a diversion of the melt without an interruption in the
production.
The production bore can be cleaned in diverting position (A).

3.3 Changing the screens
Attention: Wear protective gloves and clothing when changing the screens!!
a) Change position
In the change position the clogged screens (2) can be removed from the screen opening
(3) and replaced by new ones (4). With a suitable tool (5) the screens can be taken at the
removal groove (6) and lifted. The screen opening should be cleaned before new screens
are inserted. A copper spattle, for example, is suitable. For removing deposits that do not
come off easily wire brushes can be used. The new screens are held in their position by
the shoulders of the screen opening.
Attention: It is important that the screens will immediately be changed and the bolt be
cleaned after moving the screen bolt. Only screens with the required dimensions
should be used.
Loose parts of the screens are to be removed before the screens are inserted into the
screen openings.

20035354 Typ TASD 8
3.4 When is a change of the screens required?
The time of exposure of the screens depends on the amount of impurities in the processed melt.
It is necessary to change the screens if:
- the pressure between the extruder and the screen changer rises
- the output is reduced
- the drive of the extruder consumes more power
- the extruder temperature rises due to friction
Warning:
It is recommended to clean or replace the screens before the maximum pressure difference of
is reached. A justifiable difference in pressure is to be determined by trial.
It depends on:
- required product quality
- necessary fineness of mesh
- viscosity and level of impurities of the melt

4.3 Safety devices
All areas of danger, which could not be avoided for constructional reasons, are equipped with
moveable safety hoods where necessary to insure safe use of the unit (fig. 4.3).
The safety hood (1) on the operator’s side of the screen changer is moveabel in order to ease changing
the screens. The lever pushed to unlock the safety hood activate a contact switch (2), which shuts
down the hydraulic system immediately. This is to prevent unintentional movement of the screen
bolts when the safety hood is open. A positive result is an immense reduction in the risk of being
injured, especially of being burned. Consequently, it is only possible to move the screen bolts when
the safety hood is shut properly.
The Safety device (3) between housing and hydraulic cylinders is removeable too. For removing this
safety device a tool ( inner hexagon key ) has to be used in order to remove that cover.

8.4.2 Cleaning the screen changer unit
Disk brushes with the same diameter as the boring that is to be cleaned are suitable for a thorough
cleaning of the borings of the screen changer housing. Right angle grinder round brushes are suitable
for cleaning the surface of the bolt, while pencil brushes are suitable for the screen openings. The
loosened connection elements should be cleaned, too, to facilitate an easy assembly.
Polished fit surfaces (surface of the screen bolt/boring in the housing for installing the screen bolt)
always have to be cleaned with brass brushes!
The wire of the used brushes has to be „plaited“. The indicated maximum number of revolutions of
the brush may not be exceeded by the driving tool.
Deposits on the surface of the bolt and in the boring, that also contain rests of lubricants, should be
cleaned with e.g. petroleum before being treated with brushes in order to avoid a contamination of the
brushes with lubricants. The applied solvent has to be removed completely before the cleaning with
brushes and the commissioning of the screen changer!

8.5 Heating device
The screen changer is heated by high-capacity heating cartridges (R1-R10, fig 11) within the housing.
Their feed wires run through channels in the housing or below covers and meet in the connector box.
For inserting a thermocouple there are borings at the top and bottom of the housing.
If the heating cartridges are defective, they can be pushed out of the housing with a bolt (dia. 19.5-
19.8 mm) after the cover plate has been removed. New cartridges may be inserted only into cleaned
borings and only if they have been treated with a temperature-proof lubricant.
Check heater function after ten minutes of heating with new heating cartridges and check the flowing
of current at each replaced heating cartridge by measuring.
Attention: For reasons of process engineering, the temperature of the screen changer housing must be
set at approx. 10-20°C above the melt temperature. The temperature set for the housing and the
attached parts (flanges, adapters, etc.) must be the same to ensure even heating of the product and to
prevent errors in production.

Appendix 3 Hydraulic documentation
1. Hydraulic cylinders
It is necessary to take care that the cylinder rod is not damaged in order to guarantee a long life for the
screen changer. Damage to the rod could lead to leakage.
Changing the seals

1) Loosen and unscrew the counternut (1).
2) Unscrew the guide bush (2).
3) Pull the piston rod with the pistons (3 and 4) out of the pipe.
4) Remove the seals (5 and 6) with a blunt screw driver.
5) Install new seals. Attention, do not damage the seal edges.
6) Reassemble the cylinder in reverse order.
7) Adjust the travel exactly by turning the guide bush
8) Check by pressure test whether the seals are o.k.
Attention: Make sure that everything is absolutely clean when changing the seals.

2. Hydraulic unit
Hydraulic unit is equipped with a bubble storage for operation of the TASD Screen Changers with a
high speed for bolt movement.
Control elements:
Y1 – (magnetic solenoid valve) deflation of the bubble storage (secruity)

Y2 – (magnetic solenoid valve) moving the screen bolt
Y3 – (magnetic solenoid valve) preparing moving of the screen bolt in produktion position
Y4 – (magnetic solenoid valve) preparing moving of the screen bolt in start-up position
S1 / S2 – level switch with temperature contact (secruity)

S3 – pressure switch 280 bar (pressure rising)
S4 – pressure switch 180 bar (pressure falling)
Description of the hydraulic unit (fig3.1 / 3.2):
The pump of the hydraulic unit transports the oil through the P-Lines to the bubble storage.
Pressure switches (S4 / S3) control the pressure in this line. If the pressure reaches more than 280 bar,
S3 give a signal: “Pump Stop”. The oil transport is interrupted.
If now, after the pressure is developed in the bubble storage, the bolt should be driven e.g. into Start-
Up position, the magnetic solenoid valve Y4 must be operated. With this the outlet A from the unit
would be prepared for moving the cylinder in Start-Up positions.
Now the magnetic solenoid valve Y2 have to be operated for moving the hydraulic cylinder. The oil
flows through outlet A to the cylinder. The moving of the cylinder effected so long time until the
final position is reached and an initiator gives a signal: "Y2 switch off".
For moving the bolt into Production position the magnetic solenoid valve Y3 have to be switched.
Now the outlet B would be prepared for using as a pressure line. The moving of the cylinder take
place only by operating the magnetic solenoid valve Y2 too exactly according to the same principle as
by the moving into the Start-Up position.
By moving the bolt, the pressure in the bubble storage falls. If the pressure sinks under
180 bar, the pressure switch S4 gives a signal: „Pumpe Start“. The oil transport begins again until the
pressure would exceeded 280 bar and S3 a signal gives: „Pump Stop“(s.a.).

Emptying of the bubble storage: The emptying of the bubble storagecan

be made by three different ways:
1. During the operating of the hydraulic aggregate, if a pressure in

the bubble storage is reached by more than 330 bar, then a pressure control valve
ensures for the fact that the pressure is diminished, as the oil
is led from the bubble storage to the hydraulic tank.
2. The emptying can be made also over a hand valve. With operating the appropriate line is
switched free and the oil can flow over this line to the hydraulic tank.
3. The third way is the emptying done by the magnetic solenoid valve Y1. With switched off
aggregate Y1 is not operated and thus to flow switched. The oil from the bubble storage
flows in the tank. Y1 is thus a safety valve, which ensures that the bubble storage is
pressure-free by non-operation and e.g. maintenance work can safely be realized.
For further security two switches (S1 /S2) are attached at the hydraulic tank.
S1 controls the oil level in the tank. If this is too low, a signal passed on which the operation of the
hydraulic aggregate interrupted.
S2 controlles the temperature of the hydraulic oil. If the oil reaches a temperature of over 70°C, a
signal is passed on also here, which the operation of the hydraulic aggregate interrupted.
