Founded in 1942, Rapid Granulator is a top-of-the-line manufacturer of granulators and other recycling solutions. With its founding location and headquarters in Bredaryd, Sweden, Rapid now runs its own US-based production facility in Leetsdale, PA. (Previously, the Conair Group built Rapid equipment out of its plant in Franklin, PA.)

Rapid Granulator's RG series has been a staple in the slow speed granulation category for many years with its screenless operation for brittle materials. Other popular granulators by Rapid include:

• Small Granulators: Rapid 150 & 200 (Beside-the-Press)

• Medium Granulators: Rapid 300 & 400 (Central or Beside-the-Press)

• Large Granulators: Rapid 500 & 600

In addition to new granulators, previously manufactured models such as the 2442 and the 1831 are still very popular on the used market.
