RapidModel 500 Series -Large Size Granulators

SHARE

The Rapid 500 Series large-size granulators are used for central or beside-the-press operation in all types of plastic applications. Typical waste includes large volume granulation of sprues and runners, large products like molded items, profiles, pipes and sheets. The Rapid Open-Hearted concept provides within a few steps total access to the heart of the machine supporting rapid cleaning, maintenance and "Visibly clean inspection". Clear visual access to the core machine parts allows “visibly clean” inspection and approval of the machine before it resumes operation, preventing potential contamination at color and material changes. The Rapid 500-series comes in three widths, 24", 36" and 48".

"Open-Hearted" design. Provides full and easy access to the complete cutterhouse interior, including the granule bin and screen. When servicing, this gives unmatched access to both rotating and fixed knives. And, you get complete control of the cleaning when changing material and/or color – Visibly clean inspection.

"Super-Tangential" cutter house design. The Super-Tangential cutterhouse is ideal for voluminous parts and scrap providing excellent grip. Available with two fixed knives.

Double scissors cutting action. Provides the most efficient cutting of the plastics, generating highest possible regrind quality and at the same time saving energy.

Constant Cutting Circle, CCC. Guarantees the correct distance between screen and knives, that is one of the cruicial factors for high quality regrind, after multiple knife resharpenings.

Pre-adjustable knives. Minimize downtime when changing knives and enables exact setting of the knife gap, crucial to get high quality regrind.

Swing out cutter house front/cradle. Gives full access to cutter house interior. Cleaning and maintenance with complete visibility and accessability.

Heavy duty transmission. Provides powerful and at the same time energy saving granulation. Can be extended with extra flywheel for increased inertia and friction clutch.

Reversible screen. The screen can be turned, providing longer lifetime and maximum durability.

Rotor stand still guard. Provides safe and efficient opening of the granulator.

Electrical jack opening. The electrical jack simplifies the opening and closing of the hopper, as well as making it safe.

  • Infeed hoppers for all types of production. Dedicated designs for feeding with belt conveyor, continous roll feeding of edge trims, film and skeletal waste, feeding of sheets, pipe/profiles. We provide a design that match your type of production.
  • Cutter house design "Tangential". For more thick-walled and compact parts the tangential cutter house is ideal. If increased throughput is required, a third fixed knife can be specified.
  • ‘‘Pre-cut’’ cutterhouse design is recommended for heavy-duty granulation of sheets, pipes, profiles and thickwalled materials etc. The material is cut piece-by-piece without falling ‘‘into the rotor’’. Normally a 3-blade or a 5-blade rotor is used depending on capacity requirements. Two standard fixed knives, can also be equipped with up to three additional fixed knives.
  • The standard 3-blade rotor is designed robustly to match also tougher applications, the optional 5-blade beam rotor increases output in certain applications.
  • Additional fixed knives can be specified depending on cutterhouse configuration. Two are standard in all. Up to three extra can be specified related to the cutterhouse design.
  • An extra flywheel, obtain the most powerful granulation possible without incrasing motor power.
  • PowerTech package. Wear resistant execution for longer lifetime of wear parts.
  • Sound proofing. Our granulators can be equipped with integrated sound proofing, if required, to lower the noise that is generated by all granulators. In situations when extra low levels are desired the new modular Rapid MSS is ideal, building a flexible sound cabinet around the source of noise.
  • Level indicator. To protect against build up of material in bin, and possible over heating of granulator, a level indicator is useful. Can be set to different levels of functionality, from basic warning signal to controlling of the complete production cell.
  • Knife setting jig. To minimize downtime and to achieve the exact knife gap, required for high quality regrind production, the knife setting jig is a useful tool.
