Big Volume Industrial Shredders

Great for general recycling in the post-consumer waste and plastics industry.

35% more internal volume compared to the ZSS Series


Internal hydraulic pusher (ram)


Variable speed, faster pusher movement


Smaller footprint compared to traditional horizontal pusher style single shaft shredders


Enclosed cutting chamber to avoid material spillage


All advantages of the conventional ZSS Series single shaft shredders


Big Volume Single Shaft Shredders Description



The ZIS  Series industrial shredders are single-shaft shredders with a large internal volume.  The redesigned hydraulic pusher system creates approximately 35% more space in the cutting chamber while increasing the power and ram speed. The shredder is equipped with a 457 mm diameter ZERMA E-type rotor in widths from 1200 mm to 2000 mm.   As on the ZSS Series shredders, the rotor is driven by an oversized gearbox. The completely enclosed welded steel housing increases the stability and avoids material spillage. The ZIS Series single shaft shredders incorporates all the traditional advantages of the ZERMA knife and knife holder design as well as standard features such as outboard bearings, hydraulic screen cradle, easy maintainability, and advanced controls.

Big Volume Industrial Shredder Applications


The ZIS Series single shaft shredders have been designed to handle voluminous parts such as IBCs, wheelie bins, pallets, large drums, etc., but also retain the versatility and flexibility to be used for general recycling in the plastic and wood industries. As with all ZERMA shredders, the  ZIS Series can be equipped with a wear package for the processing of highly abrasive, filled materials.
