Product catalog summary
Overview
The document describes the ScrapSaverTM SSM Models 2-5, a film trim reclaim system designed to improve efficiency and reduce costs in the reprocessing of film scrap. The system feeds ground light density film scrap to the extruder feed screw, ensuring a stable and consistent flow.

Key Features
  • Motor and Gearboxes: The system uses a reliable AC inverter motor with multi-level current overload protection to prevent premature failure.
  • Feeding Mechanism: The ScrapSaver adjusts to changes in extruder throughput, preventing overfeeding and underfeeding with a low-speed cut-out and internal level sensor.
  • Agitation System: Agitator arms prevent bridging, ensuring a consistent flow of scrap.
  • Operational Efficiency: The automated system reduces operator involvement and scrap handling costs.
  • Additive Feeder Compatibility: A replaceable sight glass allows for the integration of additive feeders.

Specifications
  • Models: SSM-2, SSM-3, SSM-4, SSM-5 with varying auger tube sizes and scrap rates.
  • Performance: Maximum scrap rates range from 10 to 150 ft3/hr, with minimum extruder sizes from 2.0 to 5.0 inches.
  • Capacity: Virgin chamber capacity is 0.5 ft3, and scrap chamber capacity is 2.5 ft3 across all models.
  • Power: Auger motor power is 1.5 Hp, with voltage options of 400V/3 phase/50 Hz and 460V/3 phase/60 Hz.

Options
  • High-efficiency cyclone with optional filter
  • Pellet inlet adapter
  • Additive feeder port
  • Diverter valve for feeding two machines from a single source

Additional Features
  • Remote touch screen interface
  • Current overload protection with alarm
  • Variable speed AC drive
  • Internal level indicator and bridge breaker
  • Custom machine mount flange
  • Safety interlocks

Conclusion
The ScrapSaver system offers a comprehensive solution for in-line scrap reprocessing, enhancing profitability by reducing scrap handling costs and minimizing the risk of cross-contamination. It is adaptable to various extruder sizes and can handle a significant portion of the extruder throughput.

ScrapSaver Fluff Feeder-1

FILM TRIM RECLAIM SYSTEMS AUTOMATIC, CONSISTENT IN-LINE SCRAP REPROCESSING The ScrapSaver volumetrically feeds ground light density film scrap to the extruder feed screw in a stable, consistent flow. Conair trim systems handle all kinds of film and sheet waste and return it directly to the extruder at rates of 25% or more. Direct in-line reprocessing of scrap material eliminates scrap handling costs and the risk of cross-contamination. Scrap inventory and labor expenses are significantly reduced and additional heat histories associated with secondary re-pelletizing or densifying operations are eliminated. Model SSM-3 with control panel DIRECT CLOSED-LOOP RECLAIM INCREASES PROFITS The ScrapSaver delivers a consistent ratio of ground scrap and virgin pellets. Two hoppers maintain component segregation until discharge approximately 1/2 - 1 inch {12-25 mm} above the screw flights. An agitator auger in the fluff hopper ensures reliable feeding of the scrap, while the virgin pellets are gravity fed. To optimize scrap re-feed rates and protect process stability, pellets enter the flights in an annular ring surrounding the fluff. This creates a consistent flight-to-flight mix ratio and provides a steady, and consistent flow of material. Four different auger sizes are available to match extruder sizes up to eight (8) inch {200 mm}. Scrap re-feed rates are typically up to 25% of overall extruder throughput, but higher rates may be possible depending on the extruder feed section, screw design and the end-product being extruded. Long life motor and gearboxes The vertical scrap auger is driven with a reliable AC inverter motor. The drive system comes equipped with multi-level current overload protection with alarm status to protect against premature drive and gearbox failure. Won’t overfeed or underfeed the process The ScrapSaver follows any change in the extruder throughput rate. The following circuit provides consistent feed, avoids “cramming” the flights and eliminates related extruder surging. A low speed cut-out and an internal level sensor with delay timer controls the scrap granulator roll feed to prevent overfeeding. Agitation prevents bridging Agitator arms on the auger are designed to prevent bridging in the ScrapSaver machine and keep a consistent flow of ground scrap into the extruder. Inexpensive operation Automated system virtually eliminates operator involvement and scrap handling costs. Additive feeder side mount A replaceable sight glass accommodates TrueFeed and other additive feeders for direct input to the ScrapSaver pellet fee
