MRS - Material Recycling System

Closed loop - save processing of CD/DVD sprues

The production of prerecorded/recordable/rewritable optical media (CD, DVD & smart cards) generates tons os so-called "sprues" annualliy.

The usual way to dispose of this production wastes is collection, storage and finally dispatching to a raw material supplier. This Material Recycling System (MRS) recycles these sprues in a closed loop process: The MSR unit collects sprues directly from the moulding machine, grinds them and re-injects them with the "virgin" polycarbonate (PC).

The closed loop system prevents impurities from mixing with the recycled polycarbonate and therefore maintains the PC`s quality.

The benefits:

  • slow running granulator (280 rpm)
  • ideal granulate quality with very low dust
  • co-rotating rotor discs prevents material trapping between rotor and housing
  • special sieves guarantee constant grain size
  • quick sieve and knife change
  • no need to adjust the rotor knife
  • knives can be reground several times
  • external bearing, dust resistant
  • basin with connector for suction
  • almost maintenance-free
  • easy and fast handling
  • opening without tools
  • CE certified
