FILM SCRAP/FLUFF
RECOVERY SYSTEMS
We represent Osprey's engineered systems for the recovery of
film and sheet scrap.
Typical fluff systems consist of:
-
Trim Removal Inducers to carry the edge and/or bleed trims away from the
production line.
-
Film Grinder to chop/grind the continuous trims and any scrap rolls into
smaller particles known as "fluff"
-
Refeed Machine to feed that fluff back into the production at the desired
scrap-to-virgin ratio.
Depending on the application, fluff refeed rates of up to 25% are
achievable, higher in certain cases.
These systems are typically used with Smooth-bore extruder barrels which are capable of handling this low bulk
density material. Grooved Feed extruders are not usually able to handle "fluff" and require the trims to be
repelletized using an inline
repelletizer (<--click for info)...
