Rapid 10 series - Rapid Granulator - #2

The common backbone of all Rapid granulators is a cutterhouse incorporating rotating and fixed knives together with screen with a hole diameter that determines the size of regrind. This has proved to be the best solution for virtually all the granulation

applications we have encountered. However, for some particular niche applications, another type of backbone neatly complements our highly suc­cessful granulation technology.

This is represented by the Rapid 10 Series, which is a very quiet gra­nulator ideal for grinding hard, thick-

pieces can then be cut into uniform granules by the toothed cutting wheels. The crusher blades come in two sizes. An optional automatic reversing system is available that reverses the rotation of the rotor for a short while to clear any material obstruction. The granule size is uniform at 5 mm.

The 10 Series provides continuous reliable grind­ing with minimal noise irrespective of material load. That's why we say it's silent clockwork.

A combination of low speed, just 25 rpm, and a series of circular toughened cutting wheels enable teeth to cut cleanly and smoothly through the hardest waste - even abrasive and filled materials. The very slow speed also helps to minimize noise, frictional heat, and component wear and tear. In turn, these bene­fits produce high-quality regrind that can be recycled directly to the injection moulding machine. The small footprint of the 10 Series makes them ideal beside-the-press granulators that can be feed either manually or automatically. Three models are available depending on the cutter-house width.

A major feature of the rotor assembly is up to three crusher rotating hooks - depending on the model - that break up the plastic waste fed into the granulator. The resulting smaller
