Rapid Granulator perfects plastic recycling

While it takes plastics thousands of years to decompose, granulators grind them in seconds for recycling. Used primarily by plastic injection, blow moulding and extrusion facilities, these machines allow manufacturers to reuse the full value of plastic wastes and rejects. Such is the commitment of Rapid Granulator, the leading supplier of size-reduction solutions for the global plastic industry.

While it takes plastics thousands of years to decompose, granulators grind them in seconds for recycling. Used primarily by plastic injection, blow moulding and extrusion facilities, these machines allow manufacturers to reuse the full value of plastic wastes and rejects. Such is the commitment of Rapid Granulator, the leading supplier of size-reduction solutions for the global plastic industry.

"Our products' unique design and performance give our clients a good return on their investment," says managing director Magnus Titusson.

Rapid's patented open-hearted technology allows easy access into the machines' core for quick cleaning and maintenance. Its cutter house design provides excellent grip for oversized items while knives set precisely in the range of 0.2 to 0.3mm apart produce perfect granules with the least effort.

"We configure each granulator system to match our clients' specific applications to promote unsurpassed efficiency," Titusson says.

Rapid introduced the closed-loop system setting the granulators in line with the plastic injection machines to avoid contamination. Other clients choose centralised granulators on a separate floor, thereby requiring conveyors that drop off the plastic into a chute beneath a hole on the production floor. Rapid also offers dust separation, metal detection and noise control.

With more than 70 years of experience, the Swedish company has pursued a global footprint for some time. Clients such as Delphi and Colgate in the international scene and Akei and Ningbo Shengjie in China rely on Rapid's product lifecycle support from about 90 distributors. With production facilities worldwide, including one in China with partner Conair, Rapid has produced more than 70,000 highly customised machines for more than 150 countries.

Keen on working with original equipment manufacturers and agents worldwide, especially in China, Rapid welcomes companies focusing on premium machines.

"We offer China our best product portfolio," Titusson says. "Our manufacturing base there will also reduce lead times and costs across the region."
