Rapid ”Open Hearted” design and tilt back hopper gives direct and unrestricted
access which drastically simplifies service, cleaning and maintenance
The low cost of ownership of the new
Raptor Series is accomplished through
the ease and speed with which it can be
cleaned and maintained. The machine
can be in a completely open position in
less than one minute after it has stopped
running. Once the machine is open, all
fasteners are accessible from the outside
using air driven tools. The access made
possible by the “open hearted” designs
makes any contamination immediately
visible.
The tilting hopper opens with an electri-
cally operated jack, while the screen and
granule bin can be handled by a single
operator. The screen cradle design does
not require the removal of bolts in order
to remove the screen, and the granule
bin slides out easily. The same tool is
used to unlock the front door and to ro-
tate the rotor. As an option, a light can
be fitted to provide extra illumination.
The FlexiPUSH is a pneumatically driven
pusher and is intended for handling

basic applications, including lumpy ma-
terials. It can handle large products such
as a 1200-L IBC (Intermediate Bulk Con-
tainer) for example. The hydraulically
powered PowerPUSH maximizes output
for shredding sheet and film. The cutting
chamber features a textured floor to re-
duce the risk of material adhering or
finding its way under the pusher and is
offset by 5 degrees to enable liquids to
drain away.
The QuadCUT cutting system for general
plastic waste features a solid knife that
allows the full use of all four cutting
edges. The cutting system is extremely
durable and has a rock solid clamping
system attaching the knife to the rotor.
The knives are supported by a sacrificial
washer in order to protect the rotor
should non-plastic material accidently
enter the cutting chamber.
The base of the Raptor Shedder series is
also equipped with the Rapid MCB fea-
ture (Mineral Composite Base) which ab-
sorbs stress and vibration during opera-
tion and gives the shredder a very solid
footing and a low center of gravity.
The Raptors can also be configured in
the Rapid DUO concept, with a floor-
standing granulator located directly be-
neath the output of the shredder.
