The patented double-compartment ASR(R) Refeed Machine feeds the extruder a compacted inner core of ground scrap surrounded by virgin material... a very consistent, predictable supply of material. Ground scrap and the much denser virgin material are held in separate compartments to prevent stratification. As the ground scrap is metered by auger from the inner hopper, the weight from the surrounding virgin material and the force of the auger compact the scrap into a consistent column of densified scrap surrounded by virgin material - eliminating extruder surging or starvation. The operator interface includes on/off controls, an auger speed selector, and speed and load indicators. The auger is set to follow the extruder screw speed to maintain a constant scrap percentage regardless of extruder rate changes.
