Plastics Lump and Purge Shredders

ZERMA's  ZBS Series is a single-shaft plastics lump and purge shredder with a tangential infeed eliminates the need for a hydraulic feeding system.  Its compact and maneuverable design and ‘plug and play’ controls give this shredder total flexibility and ease of use. Like the  ZSS, ZIS, and  ZHS  series shredders, the  ZBS is driven by an oversized gearmotor and equipped with outboard bearings. It has a 310 mm diameter flat E-type rotor using  the proven ZERMA knife holder and knife design in 600 mm or 850 mm widths. The user-friendly design allows for simple and efficient cleaning and maintenance. The ZBS lump shredders’ low rotor speed of 60 rpm and compact design makes it possible to shred lumps at a relatively low noise level. The shredder can be manually or conveyor fed with material discharge by conveyor or into a dropbox.

The ZBS plastic lump and purge shredders are designed for in-house recycling of small lumps and purges from injection and blow molding processes. The typical input materials are small and medium-sized cakes such as head waste. The plastic material can be shredded to reduce its volume or processed further by a granulator and immediately reintroduced into the production process. The shredder also can destroy sensitive products or recycle small batches of low-volume products to avoid contamination of the main product line.
