Investigation Summary
At 5:40 p.m. on January 22, 2017, an employee was operating Repelletizer Number 1 and the product flow stopped, indicating a clog in the feed line. The employee separated the vacuum pipe line to clear the clog and, when the employee put the two pieces of pipe back together, the vacuum caused the two halves to pull together, catching the tips of two of their fingers within the joint and amputating them. Then employee was not hospitalized.
