For more than 100 years, BHS-Sonthofen has been developing, optimizing and building robust and innovative shredding machines that are individually adapted to the conditions at hand. RAPAX was developed in close collaboration with an industrial designer. The aim was to outfit this innovative technology with an intelligent design and to add functional design elements that make RAPAX more resistant and easier to maintain. The result is a completely redesigned state-of-the-art pre-shredder. The extremely robust, high-torque machine represents a new solution that takes pre-shredding to a new level. BHS-Sonthofen’s RAPAX raises the bar in pre-shredding technology.
Thanks to its inspiring design and various groundbreaking technical innovations, the robust, high-torque RAPAX raises pre-shredding to a new level. Since enormous forces are at work during pre-shredding, the development team placed particular emphasis on a robust design. The slow-running, two-shaft pre-shredder offers a wide range of applications in the recycling industry by supporting different tool variations, shredding table inserts and various adjustable parameters. Extensive testing and innovative design details make it ideally suited for metal recovery, commercial and industrial waste processing and construction waste recycling.
In order to be able to optimally process a multitude of different feed materials, RAPAX is available in different designs and sizes. It is available in the 15xx or 20xx series that comes in three different sizes each, with shaft lengths ranging between 1.2 and 3.2 meters.
Even the highest demands on shredding forces place no limits on the RAPAX with drive powers of up to 400 kW. This guarantees reliable, high throughput even under the most adverse conditions.
BHS has set a new benchmark in gearbox-saving technology. The combination of belt drive and planetary gear in a compact design with the bearing of the drive unit on rubber buffers can effectively protect the drive unit against shocks and constraining forces. For a significantly increased service life of the gear unit.
A structurally very robust machine design with state-of-the-art engineering results in maximum robustness. This is one of the key factors why the RAPAX can be used in a very wide range of applications.
A hydraulic pusher device is available as an option. It ensures continuous material infeed when processing low-density, light or bulky feed stock.
Depending on the application, the RAPAX can be individually configured. In addition to the model size, various tearing tables as well as electric or hydraulic drives are available. Furthermore, two different shredding tools in terms of geometry and design can be equipped. The wear-optimized "JANUS-Shape" masters heavy applications, while the throughput-optimized "BAT-Shape" scores top grades in light applications.
The RAPAX features a split machine housing and unique BHS shaft changing system for quick and convenient replacement of the tearing shafts. This allows a fast and efficient tool exchange that is perfectly adapted to the application and the grain size of the output material.
The shafts can be controlled completely flexibly via the machine control system. Synchronous and asynchronous movements are just as possible as reversing ones. The RAPAX is designed to shred material in every running direction. The control system makes it possible to select the appropriate program consisting of different movement sequences for every input material. Optimal conditions for a wide range of feed materials.
