- Lower energy consumption with double-scissors cutting action.
- Pre-adjustable knives for optimal knife sharpness.
- High quality regrind.
- Various infeed options for all types of applications.
- Reversible screen – for longer life.
- Constant Cutting Circle (CCC).
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 are 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.
