• 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.

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.

• 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.
