PRS Purging Recovery System

Transforms purgings into high quality regrind. Low cost alternative to conventional sized reduction equipment.

Pneumatic / hydraulic drive system
Simple & safe operation
Quiet operation

How it Works

How it Works

Load: Load purgings into the containment chamber, close and lock lid.
Start: Press start to activate the system
Stage 1: Purgings are produced into small chips
Stage 2: Final size reduction – uniform granulate is produced, suitable for processing

Steve Maguire explains how the PRS Purging Recovery System works.

Operation

Operation

Stage 1

In the first stage a chamber filled with purgings moves back and forth over a 2-level platform.
Mounted between the upper and lower level of the platform is a high-speed 8-knife rotor. As the chamber moves from the lower level toward the upper level the rotor literally planes one inch off the bottom of the purgings. The resulting chips are propelled down into the second stage.

Stage 2

The second stage performs the final size reduction.
A rotary granulator is positioned directly below the planer.
This produces uniform granulate suitable for immediate processing.

Key Benefits

Key Benefits

Pneumatic / Hydraulic Drive System – air over hydraulic shock absorbing drive system prevents jams
Easy Access – for easy loading of bulky parts
Fast Clean Out – when changing materials or colors
Constant Operation – pneumatically operated follower plate inside the containment chamber keeps purgings in contact with the rotor knives.

Simple Operation – Simply place purgings inside the containment chamber, activate the system and the system automatically does the rest.
Safe Operation – Fully interlocked and meets OSHA standards
Noise Management – Shock absorbing design manages noise to acceptable levels.
