Larger / Centralised Granulation

400 Series

All models in the Rapid 400 series can be used either as a central granulator or as in-line granulator for all types of materials. Typical applications include large sprues, moulded items, profiles, smaller pipes, sheets, etc. 4 different models are available with capacity up to 900 kg/h.

Custom configuration:

With a variety of infeed options and cutter house configurations, each granulator can be adapted to any specific need.

Open-hearted design:

Rapid’s Open-Hearted design provides quick, easy, and complete access to the granulator’s heart – the cutting area of the granulator. The facilities are quick easy cleaning when changing colours or materials. Maximum visibility of the cutting area removes doubts if it is clean or not with no hidden corners where materials can be missed. Replacement of knives is also easy due to the easy access.

Lower energy consumption with “double-scissor knives”:

With a genuine double-scissor knife configuration, where both the fixed and rotating knives are angled, the force needed to cut the plastic is significantly reduced. This in combination with a large torque, means that a smaller motor can be used thereby saving energy costs.

KEY POINTS:

  • Open-Hearted design – for quick and easy access to the cutting chamber of the granulator for cleaning/maintenance – maximises your production time.
  • Lower energy consumption with double-scissors cutting action.
  • Pre-adjustable knives for optimal knife sharpness.
  • High-quality regrind.
  • Various infeed options for all types of applications.
  • Reversible screen – for longer life.
  • Constant Cutting Circle (CCC).

"They helped us with everything; the design of the solution, what we might need, sourcing the kit, installation, integration and on-going support 24/7, 365 days a year. They guided us through the whole process which was great."

Manager

Xtex

"As a result of our initial dealings with TH Plastics, we had high expectations of the company, but I have to say that even these were surpassed. The quality of the workmanship was outstanding and the speed and safety with which the work was undertaken made the installation a joy to witness. And, when the installation was complete and the system was switched on, it worked perfectly immediately".

Advanced Manufacturing Manager

Kautex Unipart

"TH Plastics were excellent at every stage, from initial site visits and concepts to equipment supply and testing as well as the complete installation on site. I received a personal service from the outset. TH Plastics did a very good job; they did what they said they would and they did it extremely well."

Engineering Manager

BPI Rhymney

"I was particularly impressed at how proactive the team at TH Plastics were when we asked them to provide a reference site. They responded immediately and arranged for us to visit Maxell Moulding Services in Telford, where TH Plastics had delivered a factory move installation. The Manager at Maxell was extremely positive about TH Plastics and we were impressed with the standard of workmanship on site."

Productions Director

"The new materials handling and drying system TH Plastics designed has exceeded my expectations. It's significantly more efficient than we had at the site, so far yielding a 40% reduction in energy consumption and I expect that figure to increase in future."

Head of Production

Maxell Moulding Services

"TH Plastics has designed and developed a unique solution for our specific needs that has reduced labour costs, reduced energy costs, increased efficiency and uptime, and at the same time improved product quality. They have a unique way of working in the industry, providing a unique facility for prototyping and developing new concepts and solutions that no one else offers. Their team is the only company that I know that offers such a uniformed process from beginning to end. All the team are technical engineers with a commitment to solving customer issues and getting the best results."

Senior Production Engineer
