LIFO This new portable regrind-management system from Advanced Auxiliary Equipment rapidly returns regrind to the processing machine. The name, which stands for last in, first out, refers to the fact that the last material to be ground is the first material to be reprocessed, often within 1 minute or 2 minutes of grinding, and before the resin has time to regain moisture. The system also removes fines and dust, and sends excess regrind to a storage container for future use. The LIFO system is available in several sizes and configurations.
What's new? The system, which became available early this year.
Benefits Dry, dust-free regrind. Also, because the compact system empties the grinder frequently, "bridging" of the resin in the grinder is prevented.
