Page 12: Chapter 2: Functional Description
TE fluff feed hoppers are used to feed up to 20% film edge trim into the throat of a 2.5” extruder. They cannot be used on extruders equipped with a grooved feed throat. - Page 13 Mechanical Features (TE Models) Up to 20% fluff re-feed rate (Re-feed rate is based on feeding 1 mil medium slip LDPE film scrap to a die limited extrusion system. If the system is limited by the extruder, some loss in output rate may occur when feeding higher percentages of fluff.).

Chapter 3: Installation Uncrating the Equipment Fluff feed systems are shipped mounted on a skid, enclosed in a plastic wrapper, and contained in a cardboard box. 1. Pry the crating away from the skid. Note: Remove the nails holding the box to the skid and lift the box off carefully;... - Page 17 Figure 1: Mounting Clearance Setup of System (Units with Remote Grinder) This section provides the procedures for configuring your fluff feed system. We recommend that you carry out these procedures in the order given here. Note: If the extruder is equipped with any type of throat other than a cylindrical one, the fluff feed system should be equipped with a custom fitted adapter to provide the proper throat configuration to allow for proper feeding.
- Page 18 these cleanoffs can cause the blower cyclone to carryover blowing fluff particles out of the cyclone. 3. Install the cyclone separator on top of the fluff feed hopper cover. The bolt circle will allow rotation in 15 degree increments. If the cyclone has to be oriented at a special angle, new holes will have to be drilled in the cyclone flange to fit.

10. When installing the edge trim conveying tube from the venturi to the grinder air exhauster, leave an airgap between the end of the tubing and the exhauster inlet. We recommend a gap of at least 3-6”, and more if possible. This will allow the grinder to be opened for blade maintenance easily, and will prevent the cutting chamber from being overpressurized by the trim blower air. - Page 20 fluctuating and is operating smoothly. If the meter is fluctuating, slow the drive speed adjustment. If the meter is still fluctuating, re-inspect the vertical mixing auger for binding. If there is no binding, the material being fed probably has a very low slip coefficient (such as stretch wrap).
- Page 21 The grinder feed rolls should run continuously and not be starting and stopping all the time. Because the TE hopper is small, if the feed rolls are running too fast and the extruder is stopped quickly, a blow over can occur.

Page 22: Chapter 4: Operation
Chapter 4: Operation Overview Your fluff feed system provides the processor with a simple, easy way to reclaim edge trim and unprinted roll stock from your extruder. This section provides the procedures necessary for using your fluff feed system. Note: Before you carry out any of the procedures in this chapter, the system must be set up as described in Chapter 3. - Page 23 NOTE: Programming steps listed above assume no prior adjustments to the drive have been made. Configuration 2: Local start and remote speed reference This configuration is the same as configuration 1 except that speed control comes from a remote source such as the extruder. To operate the drive, do the following: 1.
