Rapid 300 "Open-Hearted" granulator

All models in the Rapid 300 series can be used either as a central granulator or as an inline granulator for all types of materials. Typical applications include sprues, molded items, profiles, smaller pipes, sheets, etc.

High quality regrind

The Rapid cutting technique, comprised of clean scissors-cutting action and constant cutting circle, produces granules of a uniform size with minimal dust content even with the toughest materials.

Reversible screen

Most granulation or cutting occurs at the screen surface. Hence it is extremely important to have the screen in good condition. A worn screen gets rounded hole edges and needs to be replaced with a new screen. Screens from Rapid are reversible (excluding special screens), which gives them double the life.

Pre-adjustable knives

With a fixture, presetting the knives outside the machine is easy, providing fast and convenient servicing. The optional grinding fixture makes resharpening of knives easy and guarantees the correct knife angles.

Constant Cutting Circle (CCC)

Rapid granulators and shredders deliver precise, consistent cuts every time. This design ensures even wear, improved efficiency and reduced energy consumption, making our machines durable, reliable and ideal for heavy-duty applications.

Open-Hearted design

Rapid's Open-Hearted design provides quick, easy and complete access to the granulator's heart - the cutting area of the granulator. This facilitates quick and easy cleaning when changing colors or materials. Maximum visibility of the cutting area removes doubts if it is clean or not, with no hidden corners where materials can be missed. Replacement of knives is also easy due to the easy access.

Custom configuration

With a variety of infeed options and cutter house configurations, we can adapt each granulator to your specific needs.

Lower energy consumption with "double-scissor knives"

With a genuine double-scissor knife configuration, where both the fixed and rotating knives are angled, the force needed to cut the plastic is significantly reduced. This in combination with a large torque means that a smaller motor can be used, thereby saving energy costs.
