ZERMA's ZRS Series plastics pipe profile industrial shredder is the world’s first single-shaft shredder capable of handling large diameter pipes up to 1200 mm without the need for pre-cutting. It is available in rotor diameters and widths from 800 mm up to 1500 mm, and the standard hopper accepts pipe lengths up to 6 meters. The combination of advanced controls, low rotor speed, and smooth hydraulics create a reliable and easy-to-use system. Since its introduction, the ZRS Series pipe profile industrial shredder has become the per se standard for shredding pipe profiles and is used by leading pipe manufacturers worldwide. The more than 200 installations demonstrate our technological leadership in this industry and ongoing innovation is based on market demands and customer feedback.
The ZRS Series plastics pipe profile industrial shredder’s mainly shreds large diameter pipes or bundles of smaller pipes and profiles made of HDPE, PP, and PVC. The shredders also can be used for recycling other plastic materials like large lumps, stacked wheelie bins, and pallets. In combination with ZERMA’s other size-reduction equipment such as granulators and pulverizers, we are able to provide a complete turn-key recycling solution.

The ZRS Pipe & Profile Shredder is designed to efficiently process large plastic pipes and profiles without the need for pre-cutting. It can handle pipes up to 1200 mm in diameter and lengths up to 6 meters, making it ideal for recycling HDPE, PP, and PVC materials. The ZRS shredder is also suitable for reducing bulky plastic waste such as pallets, wheelie bins, and large molded parts, providing high throughput and reliable operation for industrial recycling applications.
The ZBS Lump and Purge Shredder is designed to process small and medium-sized plastic lumps, purgings, and head waste from injection and blow molding applications. It efficiently handles low-volume production scraps, allowing manufacturers to recycle materials directly back into their production lines for improved efficiency and reduced waste.
The ZERMA’s Lump and Purge Shredder is widely used in industries such as plastics manufacturing, injection molding, blow molding, and packaging production. It’s ideal for facilities that generate plastic purgings, head waste, and molded rejects, helping manufacturers efficiently recycle production scraps, reduce waste, and lower material costs.
The ZRS Pipe & Profile Shredder easily integrates with other ZERMA size-reduction systems, such as granulators and pulverizers, to create a complete recycling line. After shredding, the processed material can be directly fed into a granulator for further size reduction or into a pulverizer for fine powder processing, providing a seamless, high-efficiency recycling solution for plastic pipes, profiles, and bulky materials.
