Used Rapid Granulator Plastic Granulators for Sale

Rapid Granulator was founded in 1942 by entrepreneur Harry Johansson in Bredaryd, Sweden, at a time when Swedish society placed a strong emphasis on repairing and reusing materials. Johansson built the company around the principles of sustainability and efficiency, and those values have guided Rapid Granulator's growth from a regional manufacturer into a global leader with subsidiaries in the United States, Germany, France, Italy, China, and Singapore, supported by a network of agents across more than five continents.

The company's granulator lineup spans a wide range of capacities and configurations. The compact 150 Series is designed primarily for beside-the-press and under-the-press recycling of sprues and reject parts from injection molding machines, and it is offered in DeltaTech and PowerTech variants for standard and abrasive-material applications respectively. The 200 Series targets direct recycling from injection and blow molding lines with multiple rotor speed options to minimize energy consumption. The open-hearted 400 and 500 Series serve central and in-line granulation of larger molded items, pipes, profiles, and sheet, while the 600 Series is the largest in the open-hearted family, handling high-volume central granulation. The 800 Series addresses heavy-duty, high-volume applications including wet granulation. The GT Series is optimized for cost-effective in-line granulation of skeletal waste from thermoforming lines.

Rapid Granulator's machines serve processors across plastics manufacturing, packaging, automotive components, medical device production, pipe and profile extrusion, and sheet extrusion. Their granulators are used wherever in-plant regrind recovery is critical, converting sprues, edge trim, skeletal waste, and defective parts back into reusable raw material that can be fed directly into the production process.

Buyers seeking used Rapid Granulator equipment value the brand for its robust, long-service-life construction, the availability of replacement knives and wear parts through a well-established global parts network, and the machines' consistent regrind quality. Rapid's Constant Cutting Circle design ensures even knife wear and sustained output quality over years of operation, which translates into strong resale value and low total cost of ownership on the secondary market.

Plastic granulators use high-speed rotary knives to turn sprues, runners, purgings, and reclaimed parts into uniform, pellet-friendly regrind — beside-the-press or as central grinding stations.
