3. Function description
3.1 General
The granulator is designed for grinding plastic waste to granulate for recycling.
The plastic waste should be free from metal parts and dirt before granulating.
The granulators are controlled by start/stop controls on the control panel.
B
C
B
D
E
F
The plastic waste is feed into the hopper (A) and falls down into the cutter
housing, where rotating knives (B) cut the plastic waste against the fixed
knives (C) to granulate.
The size of holes in the screen (D) determines the size of the granulate.
The screen in the bottom part of the cutter housing can easily be changed.
screens are available with different hole sizes, to achieve the required granulate size.
The granulate passes the screen and continues down through the outlet funnel
(E) to the outlet pipe (F), for transport.
The granulator with supplementary designation U is fitted with a suction
blower, which transports the granulate to a cyclone, where the granulate and
air are separated.
After this the granulate can be recycled in production, or transported to a container for later use.
The granulator is designed for quick and simple cleaning. The hopper can be
opened to ensure good accessibility for cleaning and maintenance.
On the granulator with supplementary designation B, the hopper is equipped
with a conveyor. The conveyor can be equipped with a metal detector.
The knives can be sharpened. Sharpening is most easily done with a special
jig. (Not included with the machine when delivered, but is a very practical
accessory.)

Pneumatic system mist lubrication: Check the oil level and empty the water
separator.
The hoppers lift cylinder. Check that the cylinder stays at its end positions,
Open and Close.
Screen box cylinders. Check that the cylinders stays at their end positions,
Open and Close.
1000 running hours (6 month)
Check the V-belt tension every 6 months, see chapter 7.3 Transmission.
Lubricate all the granulator lubrication points, see chapter 7.4 Lubrication.
6.3 Stoppage and overloading of granulator

NOTE! Before trouble-shooting, attending to mechanical faults and maintenance work, switch Off the granulators main switch and
Break the power supply to the granulator and the granulators optional fittings.
If power supply is needed during opening and closing of hopper or screen

box, then only connect up the granulator for the short period needed for
opening or closing. There is a risk of serious personal injury.
Stoppage in cutter housing
Stoppage from lumps
If lumps or stiffened/hardened plastic are fed into the granulator, this can result
in overloading.
Open the hopper carefully, then undo and remove the granule bin and screen
box. Opening see chapter 5.
If the cutter has jammed, use a wooden pole and carefully try to release the cutter in reverse rotational direction.
NOTE! Never use metal objects to try and release a jammed cutter. This can
damage the cutter, knives, knife positions, support rules, cutter housing and
screen.
Clean the hopper, cutter housing, screen box, granule bin and screen.
Reset the granulator motors overload protection in the distribution box see
chapter 6 Fault-finding.
6:2
8045-U
99-03-29
Overfilling in the cutter house

Look for and attend to the cause of overfilling in the granulator.
Check hopper and outfeed (blower, transport pipe, cyclone filter etc.)
Check the knives and knife tolerance. If the granulator knives are blunt and
unsharpened, or if the knife clearance is incorrect, this can cause overfilling
in the cutter housing.
Check the knives. Sharpen or replace the knives, or adjust the knife clearance, see chapter 7 Sharpening of knives.
Check the drive belts. If the tension of drive belts is too low the transmission will slip and the cutters rotational speed will drop too low this can
cause overfilling in the cutter housing.
Clean the hopper, cutter housing, screen box, granule bin and screen.
Reset the granulator motors overload protector in the distribution box see
chapter 6 Fault-finding.
Check the granulators screen. The dimensions of the holes in the

granulators screen must be appropriate to the material to be granulated, and
if the size of the holes is wrong this can lead to overfilling in the cutter
house.
Contact RAPIDs local distributor or RAPIDs head office.
Hardened lumps in the cutter housing, screen box and granule bin
If the cutter housing, screen box, screen and granule bin are filled with compacted stiffened/hardened plastic.
Contact RAPIDs local distributor or RAPIDs head office.
By heat-treating the cutter housing and screen box the plastic can be melted
away.
In order to be able to apply heat treatment, the cutter housing and screen box
must be removed from stand, hopper and enclosure.
This is work which can be carried out by RAPIDs service department at the
head office.
A change of bearings is always necessary after heat treatment.
The granule bin must be changed. To dismantle the cutter housing and screen
box, the granule bin must be removed. A granule bin filled with stiffened/hardened plastic can in most cases only be removed by means of cutting treatment.
A granule bin filled with stiffened/hardened plastic cannot be heat-treated
without the fit changing. A granule bin with a poor or altered fit will leak out
granules from the granulator, both internally and externally.
An alternative way of removing hardened plastic is by means of mechanical
treatment. Removing hardened/stiffened plastic mechanically is very timeconsuming. Furthermore, there is a big risk of damaging the rotor, knives, knife
positions, support rules, cutter housing and screen.

6:3
Stoppage in blower
Look for and attend to the cause of the stoppage in the blower.
Check there is no stoppage in the transport pipes, cyclone, dust filter and
collecting container.
Clean and empty transport pipes, cyclone, dust filter and collecting container.
Check the blowers rotational direction is in accordance with the arrow on

the blower hood.
NOTE! The blower blows even if the rotational direction is wrong, but the
capacity will be less than 25%.
Stoppage in hopper
Look for and attend to the cause of the stoppage in the hopper.
The hoppers feed speed too high or pieces too large.

Clean the hopper and lower the feed speed.
Change the direction or mechanically break up the pieces fed into the
hopper.
The cutter housing is overfilled.

Look for and attend to the cause of the overfilling in the cutter housing
see previous chapter.
Stoppage in material conveyance system

Look for and attend to the cause of the stoppage in the material conveyance
system.
Overfilling or stoppage in transport pipes, cyclone, dust filter or collecting

container.
Clean and empty transport pipes, cyclone, dust filter and collecting container.
Check that the blowers rotational direction is in accordance with the arrow
on the blower hood.
NOTE! The blower blows even if the rotational direction is wrong, but the
capacity will be less than 25%.
Smell of melted plastic and smoke formation
Overfilling or stoppage in transport pipes, cyclone, dust filter or collecting

container.
The blower functions easily and the granulator grinds plastic into powder
and subsequently into a hot mass.
WARNING! If the granulator is turned off, the result will be hardened
lumps in the cutter house. Read the section on hardened lumps in the
cutter housing.
WARNING! Risk of fire in the cutter house.
6:4
8045-U
99-03-29
NOTE! Do NOT turn off the granulator. Try to attend to, release and
evacuate the stoppage in transport pipes, cyclone, dust filter or collecting
container.
Then clean and empty transport pipes, cyclone, dust filter and collecting
container.
6.4 Cleaning
Clean monthly or at least once every 300 hours.
NOTE! When the hopper and screen box have been opened, for cleaning.
Put both the main switch and the switch on the granulator in the Off

All servicing should be carried out by trained personnel in order to avoid
personal injury or damage to the machine.
7.1 Changing knives

(Removing/installing of knives to granulator with 5-blade rotor, see chapter 11,
accessories.)
OBSERVE! The granulators cutter is balanced, therefore

auto-rotates the cutter at removing or installing of rotating
knives.
The cutter auto-rotates when the centre of gravity becomes

unstable.
Therefore be wery careful when changing knives, so as not
to injure fingers or hands.
OBSERVE! Never resort to help when removing or
installing rotating knives. Always carry out knife changing

alone, so as to minimise the risk of injury to fingers or
hands.
Lock the cutter to the cutter housing with a thick block of
wood to avoid auto-rotation.
Be careful when handling the knives, they are sharp and can
cause personal injury.
Use protective gloves!
Each time the set of knives is changed, the screws and washers which hold the knives must be replaced by new ones.

7.2 Sharpening knives

Be careful when handling the knives, they are sharp, and can cause
personal injury.
NOTE! The knives should be sharpened by skilled personnel.
Only sharpen the marked areas!
The knives must be sharpened exactly, so that the correct cutting and relief
angles are achieved. Otherwise the efficiency of the granulator will be impaired.
The RAPID grinding jig SF 8045 (accessory) and a surface grinder with
magnetic bed are recommended for sharpening work.
The knives must be cooled during sharpening. The knives must not be burned
or blued under any circumstances, otherwise they will loose their hardness and
durability.
If the knives are burned or blued, they cannot be repaired by grinding down
the blued or burned area. The hardened knives will already have lost their
hardness and temper, and are completely ruined.
Sharpening fixed knives
The fixed knives are reversible: grind 2 cutting edges when re-sharpening.
NOTE! Only grind the marked areas and respect the given dimensions!
Grind both knives equally.
Grind two knife edges on each knife.
Grind
The knives can then be turned round, and two

edges can be used before the next sharpening.
Grind the worst knife edge first.
Fix the knife in the left-hand position of the jig,

see illustration.
Use a surface grinder to make the cutting angle

exactly 90o.
Grind until all the irregularities on the knifes

both edges have disappeared.

Never change or modify the basic electrical settings of the granulator, without
first obtaining permission from the RAPID Head Office.
If the granulator settings are changed, the machine can be seriously damaged.
All Warranties and Rapids Product Liability will be void, if the basic settings
of the granulator are changed.
All maintenance and service work must be done by trained and competent
personnel!
Electrical installation must only be done by a competent electrician!

9.1 Current sensing relay

The granulator can be equipped with an optional current sensing relay to control
the feed equipment.
The current sensing relay detects the mill motor current consumption and can
temporarily stop accessories such as conveyors, roller feeders etc to avoid putting
further material into the hopper, when the mill is running under heavy loading.
The relay stops and re-starts accessory equipment automatically, without re-setting.
Relay functions and normal settings:
T1 Start delay, prevents the relay from breaking
on connection (0.1 - 10 sec).
The default start delay is 0.1 seconds.
T1
T2 Reaction time, prevents the relay from breaking

during temporary high loading (0.1 - 3 sec).
Default reaction time is 3.0 seconds.
A Hysteresis, adjustable between 5 - 50%
of the set limit.
Default hysteresis is 20 %.
B Limit value, adjustable between 0 - 100 %.
A
Default setting depends on the current transformer size.
Check the current transformer size and then check the
default setting for this granulator.
T2
C Relay function, N = normal; I = inverted;

Connection
The current sensing relay is connected in series with
the mill motor via a current transformer.
The transformer is connected between M and E1/E2/E3
depending on the secondary current.
(For transformers with transformation to 1 A, this is
connected to E2.)
Default setting for this granulator:
Granulator motor, rated current: .................

Example
The granulator is equipped with a current sensing relay to control a conveyor.
A motor of 18.5 kW has a rated current of about 35 A.
When this star/delta is started, it pulls about 35 A/
i.e. about 20 A per phase.
Relay setting:
Motor size 35 A/
= 20,2 A per phase
T1 Start delay setting 0.1 second.
T2 Reaction time setting 3.0 seconds.
A Hysteresis 20 %.
B Limit value 40 %.
C Relay function N normal.
The current transformer size is 50/1A.
The current transformer is connected to E2 (1 A).
T1
T2
In a current transformer with a transformation ratio of 50/1, the limit value B

should be set to 40 % or 20 A (50 A = 100 %).
The current sensing relay detects the current consumption of the granulator
motor and stops the conveyor, when the granulator motor exceeds 20 A for
3 seconds, to prevent further material from being fed into the hopper.
The relay re-starts the conveyor automatically when the granulator motor
consumption has fallen 20 % below 20 A, i.e. to 16 A without a time delay.

The knives are pre-set on a jig.

The jig is not included when the granulator is
delivered, but is a very practical accessory.
Do a basic set-up of the knife jig.

Put knife gauge (2) in the jig.
Adjust the dial gauge against
the knife gauge.
Zero the dial gauge (4)
(the dial should show 0).
Remove the knife gauge.

If you want a narrower knife clearance 0.15 - 0.30 mm

Unscrew the adjustment screws against the rear edge of the knife, until the
feeler gauge begins to bind. Check the knife clearance against the other
pairs of rotating knives. The setting is now ready.
Tighten the knife attachment screws alternately and increase the tightening
torque to 300 Nm.
Sharpening
NOTE! The knife should be sharpened by skilled personnel.
Only sharpen the marked surfaces!
The knife must be sharpened exactly, to get the correct cutting angle. Otherwise
the efficiency of the granulator will be impaired.
The RAPID grinding jig SF8045 (accessoriy) and a surface grinder with magnetic
bed are recommended for sharpening work.
The knife must be cooled during sharpening. The knife must not be burned or
blued under any circumstances, otherwise it will loose its hardness and durability.
If the knife is burned or blued, it can not be repaired by grinding down the blued
or burned area. The hardened knife have lost the hardness
Grind
and temper, and are completely ruined.
Respect the given dimensions when grinding the knife!
96-11-05
Fix the knife in the left-hand position of the jig.

Use a surface grinder to make the cutting
angle exactly 90.

11.6 Band conveyor

The band conveyor is intended for transporting plastics waste. The conveyor
construction includes framework beams with bolted-on cross member profiles.
The conveyor can be equipped with a metal detector.
Safety
In all work on the conveyor, put both the main switch and the switch on the
granulator in the Off position. As an alternative, you can pull out the plug on
the mains outlet on the granulators distribution box.
The conveyor is intended for transporting plastics waste. Do not use the
conveyor for other purposes than the intended.
No person may travel on the conveyor, or walk on it during operation.
If the conveyor stops because of faults, or the emergency stop, it must not be
started until the reason has been discovered and attended to.
Mobile conveyors must always be transported folded down.
Warning! When a conveyor with dogs is used. Be careful to make sure that a
dog does not catch on a foot, arm or clothing.
Installation
During installation, adjust the stand so that the conveyor is level, when measured on the diagonal.
If the floor of the storage location is very uneven, it should be evened off
before the conveyor is set up.
Electrical connections
The conveyor must be connected by a competent electrician.
Connect the conveyor by means of a plug to the distribution box on the
granulator.
Alternatively, connect the cables to the distribution box in accordance with the
markings and the wiring diagram of the granulator, see chapter 9.
Switch on the main switch on the distribution box. Press the start button and
check that the conveyor goes in the correct direction.
If the conveyor goes the wrong way.
Switch two phases in the connection to the contactor for the conveyor in the
distribution box. Alternatively, switch two phases in the plug connection.
Starting
When the conveyor is started the first time, check the position of the belt on the
rollers. The belt must not run off-centre!
If the belt runs off-centre
Remove the cover by the returning roller to gain access to the adjustment
screws.
11:12
8045-U
96-11-05
When the belt runs off-centre, adjust one adjustment screw at a time.
Only turn it a 1/4 turn. Wait and let the belt run for a few minutes. Check,
adjust, wait and check again until the belt runs straight!
Belt tension
The length of the conveyor belt has 1% tolerance. Never tighten the adjustment
screws on the conveyor belt with greater torque than 5 Nm.
When the belt is adjusted, stop the conveyor and put the covers back again.
Maintenance
In all maintenance work on the conveyor, put both the main switch and the
switch on the granulator in the Off position. As an alternative, you can pull
out the plug on the mains outlet on the granulators distribution box.
Regularly check belt wear and the position of the belt on the rollers.
The belt must not run off-centre!. Adjust as necessary as in Start - If the belt
runs off-centre in the previous chapter.
Clean the belt with a mild detergent. Do not use sharp tools, strong cleaners or
chemicals, they can damage the belt.
Fault-finding
If the conveyor does not start.
The band convveyor has a motor protection circuit breaker, which protects
against overload. This is contactor Q3 in the distribution box.
Also check the wiring diagram in chapter 9 of this manual, additions and
deletions may occur.
If the contactor has switched Off, the switch is in the 0 position.
Reset - move the switch button on the contactor to the 1 position.
