Rapid's 10 Series is silent and runs like clockwork
The low-volume grinding of hard, thick-walled and/or brittle injection-moulding sprues and rejects requires a special type of granulator. The three models in the Rapid 10 Series, on exhibit at K 2001, are perfectly equipped to meet this need. Unlike other grinders, the 10 Series design is based on rotating cutters and fixed blades which determine the uniform 4 mm regrind size, thus eliminating the need for a perforated screen.
