The Reclaimer is where the circular workflow starts. A top-load shredder takes prints and scrap down to chips, then a secondary granulator refines them into clean, uniform granulate ready for the EX3 or EX6 hopper. A VFD-driven drive train provides low-speed, high-torque cutting with jam-sense auto-reverse to keep material moving, and the control panel keeps operation simple with Start\/Stop, Safety Reset and emergency-stop interlocks. Built for daily use, it features hardened, serviceable blades, straightforward access for cleaning and adjustments, and gas-spring-assisted hoppers for easy loading. Changeover between materials takes about 10–15 minutes: open the hoppers, vacuum out the remaining shavings, and grind the next material.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo-stage size reduction\u003c\/strong\u003e — shredder breaks down prints and scrap; granulator refines to final, extrudable chip size.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSingle-phase power\u003c\/strong\u003e — plugs into standard shop circuits (IEC 320-C14 inlet, up to 1,550 W).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardened cutting hardware\u003c\/strong\u003e — A2 hardened rotating blades with reversible 0.50\" 4140 fixed blades; granulator drum uses 17-4 hardened stainless cutting teeth.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eJam detection and automatic reversing\u003c\/strong\u003e — low-speed (35 RPM), high-torque (216 ft-lb) final drive keeps material moving.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShop-friendly form factor\u003c\/strong\u003e — approximately 125 lb for benchtop or floor placement in lab and shop environments; 60–70 dB, so most users locate it with their printers rather than in a classroom.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDurable, serviceable design\u003c\/strong\u003e — reversible fixed blades extend life and reduce downtime between maintenance cycles.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePart of the Filabot Modular Ecosystem\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery Filabot machine is a building block.
