This setup consists of the two units, theFilabot Reclaimerand theFilabot Pelletizerthat can be used with the Filabot Extruders to recycle failed 3D prints and other solid plastics into new filament. This setup is bundled together because the Reclaimer and Pelletizerwork together in the recycling process.
The Filabot Reclaimeris a two-stage shredder and granulator unit designed to break down plastic into a size compatible with Filabot extruders. The shredder “Stage 1” breaks down larger plastic chunks into a size that can be loaded into the granulator “Stage 2” for final size reduction. This two-stage approach improves the versatility of the Reclaimer for use with a variety of material types and shapes which may break down differently, allowing the user more control over the final output.The Filabot Reclaimeralso includes a smart control system that provides for maximum safety.
TheFilabot Pelletizer chops filament into pellets for the final extrusion of filament. This unit connects to the Filabot Spooler using a guide tube and mount that allows for regrind shavings to be directly chopped into pellets. From there the pellets can be extruded into printable filament.
Assembly Required- The Filabot Reclaimer is shipped in three separate boxes. Assembly is required to use the unit. Two people are needed for assembly and moving. See the user manual for more details.
