The invention relates to a device (1) for providing a melt, in particular a plastic melt. Said device (1) comprises a feed unit (2) for material components, at least one purification unit (4) for the flowing melt, in particular a rotatable screening disc (5), and at least one sensor unit (17; 18; 19; 20; 21) for detecting one or more process parameters. The operation of the purification unit (4) can be influenced with the aid of said sensor unit, based on the filter-specific process data. The inventive device is configured in such a way that at least the type and dosage of the process materials that are supplied via the feed unit (2) and/or the processing parameters of said process materials can be controlled using the detected (17; 18; 19; 20; 21) process parameters and/or the filter-specific process data.
