ZTS Industrial Shredder
The ZTS and ZTTS single shaft shredders are specially designed for the processing of complete or pre shred tires.Both machines machines feature a 750 mm diameter rotor ranging in width from 1500 to 3000 mm with oversized outboard bearings and twin gear drives.The tangential infeed ensures a optimal feeding of the input materials while eliminating the need for a hydraulic feeding system. All tire shredders are equipped with a complete wear package including hard facing, special knives and wear plates made from highly wear resistant steel.The two model ranges differ in the amount of stator knives and the screen sizes used. The modular design makes it easy to integrate either machine into existing installations.
Applications
The ZTS with its single row of stator knives is used to pre shred complete car tires or large chunks of pre processed tires down to a size of about 150 mm. The twin rows of stator knives and screen in the ZTTS enable it to take the tire shreds down to a any required size > 20 mmThe unique machine design combined with the variable cutting gap create an optimal separation of rubber and steel fractions when the machine is used with a 20 mm screen. Therefore steel can be removed easily in the following process with magnetic separation equipment. Beside tires the machines are also used in the conditioning of RDF and other alternative fuel applications.
ZBS Plastic Shredder
The ZBS series shredders are single shaft shredders with a tangential in-feed to eliminate the need for a hydraulic feeding system. The Space saving and maneuverable design combined with the plug and play controls make this machine very flexible and ready to go in no time. Like its bigger brothers in the ZS series they are equipped with outboard bearings, 310 mm diameter flat E rotors with 600 or 850 mm width driven by an oversized geared motor. Utilizing the proven ZERMA knife holder and knife design. The user friendly design makes cleaning and maintenance work a breeze. The low speed of 60 rpm combined with the compact design of the ZBS shredders makes it possible to shred lumps at a relatively low noise level. The machines can be fed manually or by conveyor, material discharge can be done via conveyor or into a drop box.
Applications
The ZBS shredders have been 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 material can be shred to reduce the volume or processed further in a granulator to be re introduced into the production process immediately. The machine also can be used to destroy sensitive products or to recycle small batches of low volume products to avoid contamination of the main product line.
ZIS Plastic Shredder
The ZIS series shredders are single shaft shredders with a large internal volume. The redesigned hydraulic pusher system creates about 35% more space in the cutting chamber while increasing the power and speed of the ram itself. The machines are equipped with a 457 mm diameter ZERMA E rotor with widths ranging from 1200 to 2000 mm.As on the ZSS machines the rotor is driven via an oversized gearbox. The completely closed welded steel housing increases the stability and avoids material spillage.The ZIS inherits all of the advantages of the ZERMA knife and knife holder design as well as standard features such as outboard bearings, hydraulic screen cradle, it's easy maintainability and advanced controls.
Applications
The ZIS shredders have been designed with big volume parts such as IBCs, pallets and big barrels in mind. While it can be used for in house recycling in big volume blow molding operations it is also versatile enough to be used for general recycling in the plastic and wood industry. Like all ZERMA shredders the ZIS can be equipped with a wear package for processing of highly abrasive or filled materials.
ZRS Plastic Shredder
The ZRS shredders are the worlds first single shaft shredders able to handle large diameter pipes up to 1200 mm without the need for pre cutting. Since their introduction they became the per se standard for pipe shredding and are used by the leading pipe manufacturers all over the world. More than 200 installations demonstrate our technological leadership in this industry and continuing innovation based on market demands and customer feedback. Depending on the pipe diameter the ZRS rotor diameter and width range from 800 to 1500 mm. The standard hopper fits all pipe lengths of up to 6 m. The combination of advanced controls, low rotor speed and smooth hydraulics create a reliable and easy to use system.
Applications
The main focus of the ZRS shredders is the shredding of large diameter pipes or bundles of smaller pipes and profiles made from HDPE, PP and all kinds of PVC. Further the machines can be used for recycling of other plastic parts, such as large lumps, stacked wheelie bins and pallets. In combination with other ZERMA size reduction equipment such as granulators and pulverizers we are able to provide a complete turn key recycling solution.
ZXS Heavy Duty Shredder
The ZXS shredders are single shaft shredders with a powerful two speed swing ram design eliminating the risk of blocking and wearing out of internal guide rails. The machine is very versatile and can be used for shredding of all kinds of input materials and is well suited for different industries. The 750 mm diameter rotors ranging from 1500 to 3000 mm width are driven by two oversized gearboxes. The low speed of 45 rpm guarantees a high torque and smooth operation. The hydraulic power pack is well integrated into the machine housing to save space and protect it from damage but still easy to access or remove for maintenance. The proven E rotor, knife holder and knife designs are taken to new dimensions to conquer the most demanding applications and challenges. The machines can be tailored to various applications advanced controls and hydraulics, hard facing and other wear options.
Applications
The ZXS shredders have been designed for the most demanding and high throughput applications in recycling industries. The input materials can be all kinds of plastics, wood, paper, cardboard, e-waste, post consumer waste, rubber, etc. in various shapes and sizes. Typical input materials are: fridges, purges, tires, pallets, bales, drums and barrels, pipes, film and so on...The output material size is defined by the installed screen and except in RDF (refuse derived fuels) applications the output material has to be processed further to achieve the desired final size. For the recycling of complete truck and tractor tires the ZXS T model is configured with special wear protection and knives.
ZERMA PLASTIC SHREDDERS
ZSS Plastic Shredder
The ZSS shredders are single shaft shredders with a powerful two speed swing ram design eliminating the risk of blocking and wearing out of internal guide rails. The machine is very versatile and can be used for shredding of all kinds of input materials and is well suited for different industries.The 457 mm diameter rotors ranging form 850 to 2000 mm width are driven by one or two oversized gearboxes.
