CUSTOM  Designs

MPI MELT PRESSURE engineers can design and manufacture almost any extruder rupture disk design in quantities from 1 to 1000pcs. For any non-standard body design, please fill out and send back the PDF specification sheet.

Proper Installation

Rupture Disk installation is very critical. They must be installed flush on the inner barrel of the extruder.

If there is an excessive dead space, plastic material may harden and form a plug. This may render the extruder rupture disk ineffective, and cause a safety hazard.

Temperature Effects on Rupture Disks

Rupture Disc are effected by temperature. Below is a table of how to change ratings of rupture disks based on temperature. All MPI rupture disks have Inconel diaphragms, so are not greatly temperature dependant.
