| Zusammenfassung: | The present invention provides a barrel venting system for use on an extruder. Gases that are generated during plasticizing are drawn by vacuum through a filter to remove plastic particles before the gas is exhausted to the atmosphere. To enable cleaning of the filter without interrupting extruder operation, a shuttle valve is provided to allow rapid switching of the gas flow to a second filter. The valve itself includes two disc shaped elements with ports that align in two positions to enable flow to either the first or second filter, as desired. |
