K 2022: Rapid Granulator highlights size-reduction solutions

Size-reduction technology specialist Rapid Granulator is introducing a new ONE-step solution for plastics granulation. The highly regarded, popular Raptor Series with the “open-hearted” design will now be available with a true “open-hearted” integrated grinder. Other notable design features are the unique service and maintenance access it provides. The new design is a result of 80 years of accumulated knowledge in size reduction in order to maximize profitability for customers. During K 2022, the Raptor Series is on display at the Rapid Granulator booth D10 / Hall 9 in Düsseldorf.

“The Raptor DUO Series is a shredder and granulator combination. It has all the benefits that a heavy-duty shredder provides combined with the granulator. It enables the production of granules directly from a huge purging in just ONE step. The DUO features dual door systems - a genuine “open-hearted” design. We have seen how well received our previous model has been in the market and now we have taken this duo concept to a whole new level,” says Anders Martensson, Sales and Marketing Director at Rapid Group.

“Rapid patent pending “open-hearted” design is truly unique in the market. To get direct access to the entire cutting chamber of the shredder and grinder in less than a minute is an absolute state of the art solution,” adds Martensson.

Rapid’s focus on modular built units, enables Rapid to integrate the DUO solution in multiple configurations. The Raptor series have both pneumatic and hydraulic pusher systems. There is also the third pusher system available for bulky items to increase capacity and provide opportunity to feed really large products like IBC directly into the hopper of the shredder. 

Rapid offers 36 base configurations of the Raptor in order to handle various applications. The modular systems feature two widths 31.5” and 53” (800 mm and 1,350 mm). There are also three different cutting systems: Quad Cut, Claw, and Power Wedge. With all of these options, there is a configuration for any application.

Rapid manufactures all grinders and shredders in their own production center in Bredaryd Sweden. “We see huge advantages of having the entire production under one roof. The quality control and the level of customization we are able to provide is unique in the industry. We also reduce our carbon footprint by minimizing the transports related to every single part in the machine as our vendor base is closely located,” says Martensson.
