Elfab extruder rupture discs

Pressure relief specialist Elfab has launched its own extruder rupture disc range, primarily designed for overpressure protection of plastic extrusion processes. The pressure relief device not only provides protection for extrusion lines, it is also one of Elfab’s widest ranging pressure relief products, combining various dimensions, thread types and body configurations to best suit the requirements of each application.

The range expands Elfab’s electron beam-welded OE5 range to further provide advanced process management and leakage control. The OE5 combines a scored rupture disc that is welded directly onto the end of a plug assembly.

Each of Elfab’s extruder rupture discs (ERDs) consists of a threaded body with a conventional rupture disc electron beam welded to the end. As each ERD application is different, the company manufactures all products in-house.

Elfab’s range of ERDs provide high leak tightness and offer maintenance-free design. Each rupture disc can be custom-engineered to meet industry specifications.
