Two-speed hydraulic system as standard
General Purpose Industrial Shredder
ZERMA 's single-shaft industrial shredders for plastics recycling have a powerful two-speed swing ram design. Therefore, eliminating the risk of blocking and wearing out internal guide rails. This versatile single shaft shredder can be used for shredding all types of material and is well-suited for plastics recycling. Driven by over sized gearboxes, the 457 mm diameter rotors come in widths from 850 mm to 2000 mm. The hydraulic power pack is inside the shredder housing to save space, protect it from damage, and easy to access for maintenance. The standard E rotor features the proven ZERMA knife and knife holder design, as well as outboard bearings and a hydraulically-operated screen cradle. The single shaft shredders can be tailored to various applications and are offered with rotor cooling, hard facing, and other wear options.
Industrial Shredder Applications
ZERMA ZSS Series heavy duty industrial shredders have been designed for a wide range of plastic recycling applications and industries such as plastic in-house and general recycling, electronic waste, and post-consumer waste handling. Input materials can be all types and forms of plastic such as lumps, pipes, film, bales, and woven bags, electronic waste like cables and ICBs, paper, wood, and other organic materials. Depending on downstream uses, the shredded material defined by the fitted screen size can be used directly or passed to the next size-reduction stage, for example, an GSH Series granulator.
Concave Rotor Knife
The concave ground square knives produce high-quality output and can be rotated after a side is worn out.
E-type Rotor
The large diameter flat rotor has specially-machined pockets to hold and secure the knives. Optional weld on hard facing is available for abrasive applications.
The sturdy swing arm ram incorporates heavy-duty guide bearings and universal couplings for reliable operation.
