Regrinding Monoprene TPE

[skipmma]

Has anyone ground up monoprene tpe before? If so, what grinder works best being that this is a rubbery material?

Thanks

We ground TPO's and SEBS soft resins in a SRS Bi-cutter screen less grinder. They worked OK, but we used a MPG and it worked OK as long as they didn't feed an armfull of the soft runners into the chamber! Just make sure you keep the blades sharp! Those soft resins will dust up and melt on you if they aren't cut!

Suhas-Check out those late night infomercials. The Slap Chop was one of those items they market. You can probably find the ad on youtube.
