Size-reduction technology specialist Rapid Granulator introduced The Raptor Series, a new family of shredders for plastics.
Size-reduction technology specialist Rapid Granulator introduced The Raptor Series, a new family of shredders for plastics. These modularly designed units feature a reported world-first with their “open-hearted” design. Other notable design features include a unique cutting system, tilt-back hopper, and design for integrated granulation.
The Rapid “open hearted” design of the unit enables quick and direct access to the shredder rotor and cutter chamber, simplifying the cleaning and service process. The front door, hinged on the side, provides unrestricted access to the rotor and to the screen, which is mounted in the door. Once the front door is open, the shredder hopper mounted on a rear hinge can be tilted back.
