Features
Protect Your Investments
SERRAPID® is Installable on all rotary die cutters on the market and can even make dies of different RDC brands interchangeable. All bolts have “bolt protector” inside to avoid ware out and to ease its maintenance
Safety
Technicians can mount dies quickly without worrying about missing or improperly torqued bolts like on conventional die-mount systems. In case of air loss during operation, the die will be lock on the cylinder surface by the pins. Special auto-locked handles to avoid cuts during handling
Air inlet
At the press of a switch, compressed air is injected into the cylinder, forcing the mushroom hold-downs outward with a force of 1300 N of force (290 lbs.
Team Fast Training
Onsite safety and product training at the time of installation prepares your team to work with SERRAPID® efficiently from day one. The cylinder is protected by several world patents and optimized thanks to the continuous improvement process that Serra carries out to guarantee the best product quality.

No tools required
No additional hardware or special hand tools are required to secure the die to the cylinder, ensuring fail-safe operation.
Operation
The prepared die shell is fit onto the cylinder with the mushrooms protruding through keyhole openings. The shell is slid into position, the compressed air is released, and the hold-downs retract, clamping the shell in place with approximately 1300 N of force (290 lbs of force).
Suitable for any existing machinen
Installable on all rotary die cutters, and allows to interchange dies between machines from different OEM’s. It reproduces the same bolt pattern as the original die cutting drum
Smooth cutting surface
Eliminates the need for anvil grinding and also increases the lifespan of your anvil covers and dies.
