the workflow
1
You are ready to create your first products within minutes. All of the necessary tools and safety gear for getting your machine operational are included.
2
The Machine is set up stand-alone in a well ventilated and dry room. It is easily movable with casters from one place to the other.
3
For an ideal workflow we suggest a well ventilated room, a space of 3-4 m².
4
Additionally we recommend using the plasticpreneur fume extractor to extract and filter the air in the working area.
getting started
the grinding process
Washed and sorted plastic is fed into the hopper and enters the cutting box. Blades on a motor driven rotor, grind the plastic into small flakes. Through watching windows this process can be observed.
The grinding process takes place between the rotating rotor blades and the stationary stator blades. The cutting gap size and the cutting geometry of the rotor and stator knives can be adjusted.
After passing through an exchangeable sieve, the flakes are collected in a box and are ready to be processed further in an injection moulding machine or extruder. The sieve size determines the flake size.
Larger plastic objects need to be pre cut to fit into the hopper. The hopper-pusher is used to feed thin-walled or round shaped plastic towards the blades for an efficient and safe cutting process.
Recommended for rigid polyolefins
Compatible with: flexible material such as TPU
Ability to test other materials such as biodegradable etc.
We assume no liability if materials other than those recommended are used. For other materials (e.g. biodegradable plastics) if applicable we can provide information as well as material tests.
Not recommended for use: stretch film, foamed materials
Never to use: wood, metall, electronics, etc.
Plastic may be pre-cut to fit into the hopper. E.g. with tin snips, saw, etc.
An accessory kit consisting of all needed parts to ensure safe and easy set up, as well as for maintenance are included.
This includes:-
Tool & safety gear set including
-
Ring spanner, flat screwdriver, tin snips
-
Gloves, safety glasses, ear protection
-
-
To safely operate the machine: gloves, safety glasses, and optional ear protection are needed. Depending on the input material the dB varies. Therefore, we recommend using ear protection, especially if working for a longer period of time.
We ship worldwide.
The machine comes in tailor made packaging on a half pallet, or if ordered in a set together with other machines, via freight-forwarding on a pallet.
