Duo Shredder Upgraded With Reinforced Pusher System

Rapid Granulator is showcasing its size reduction technology, headlined by enhancements to the Raptor Duo Shredder with integrated granulator. The Raptor Duo now includes a newly designed reinforced pusher system. The system has upgraded pneumatic cylinders, enabling the operator to increase output, and thereby making the machine adaptable to a greater diversity of applications. The pusher body system now has an increased depth and reinforced side guides for support — this enables it to withstand irregular loads without loss of production. The newly designed corrugated floor opens up usage for demanding applications, such as with sheet, big bags and thin wall materials. This floor design prevents jamming, reducing the need to use scrapers, and improves the flexibility in the range of products it can efficiently shred.

The Raptor Duo, which debuted at K Show in 2016, integrates a granulator into the base of a Raptor shredder, thereby minimizing footprint while providing further size reduction. The bolted modular design and open-hearted technology enables easy changing of wear parts. The Raptor Duo is available for the Raptor 1350 model. The system also offers low energy consumption and pre-adjustable knives for optimal sharpness and reduced down time.

Rapid is exhibiting a range of granulator and shredder models with capacity ranging from a few kg to several tons of ground plastic per hour. Features include the open-hearted design, reversible screens, double scissor knives and Industry 4.0 connectivity.
