Granulators
ZERMA granulators - a cut above
The ideal granulator for modern recycling operations
Size reduction of plastic waste, e.g. from blow molding, injection or extrusion processes requires a good understanding of the challenges.
ZERMA offer an ideal solution for any application in plastic recycling
- GSL
- slow speed granulator to be used next to an injection molding machine
- GSC
- soundproofed compact granulators
- GSE
- identical to the GSC but without soundproofing, used as smaller central granulators
- GST
- soundproofed granulators with a tangential infeed designed for large volume parts
- GSH
- robust heavy duty granulators to be used as central granulators or after a shredder
- GSP
- granulators for long pipes and profiles.
Advantages:
- Consistent high quality output
- Reduced fines
- Low heat generation
- Space savings and ease of maintenance
GSL-series – reliable solutions
Low Speed –
Quality results
The slow speed granulators in the GSL range are mainly used in injection and blow molding processes as beside the press machines to grind runners and sprues. The machines can be used for rejected products in the inline recycling process as well. Different hopper and base frame designs make it possible to integrate the machine with most types of injection molding machines and robots.
- Driven by gear motor or V-belt
- Unique knife design eliminates adjustment after resharpening.
- Simple tool less access for maintenance and cleaning
- Customizable hopper and base frame
GSE-series – economical compact granulator
For the GSE 300 series different rotor designs are available in widths ranging from 300 mm to 1400 mm with a diameter of 300 mm. The completely welded cutting chamber in conjunction with the "V" type rotor design ensures dependability in operation and universal application use. The housing design offers easy and quick access to the cutting chamber during rotor and stator knife changes, servicing or screen changes
- Knives are adjusted outside of the machine
- Mobile Compact design
- Different rotor types available
- Easy accessibility
- Strong tangential infeed
GSC-series – soundproofed allrounder
The GSC compact/sound proof granulators are designed with a complete sound proof enclosure resulting in an extremely quiet operation. Different rotor designs are available in widths ranging from 300 mm to 1400 mm with a diameter of 300 mm. The completely welded cutting chamber in conjunction with the "V" type rotor design ensures dependability in operation and universal application use. While it delivers excellent sound proofing capabilities, it still offers easy and quick access to the cutting chamber during rotor and stator knife changes, servicing or screen changes. The sound dampening material used in these machines is based on the latest technological research.
- Knives are adjusted outside of the machine
- Compact design
- Different rotor types available
- Soundproofed housing
- Strong tangential infeed
GST-series – tangential cutting chamber
The compact inline granulators of the GST series are primarily designed for use in blow moulding applications to recycle voluminous parts such as bottles, canisters and crates, as well as blow molding flush and injection sprues. The low feeding height makes them suitable for both hand and conveyor feeding of these parts. The low noise level and small footprint makes them the perfect fit for inline recycling operations.
- Compact design
- Soundproofed chamber and hopper
- Aggressive infeed and curved backwall
- Large screen area
- Knives are adjusted outside of the machine
GSH 350 and GSH 500 series –
small and robust
- Edge trim
- Window profiles
- Fibers
- Sheet
- Copper and aluminium wires
GSH 600 and GSH 700 series –
Allround granulators
The heavy duty granulators of the GSH 600 and 700 series offer a wide array of different rotor designs with widths ranging from 800 mm to 1000 mm with a diameter of 600 and 700 mm. The completely welded heavy steel construction is designed to withstand the most demanding and universal applications. Rotor bearings, knife mounts and rotor shaft are oversized. The standard V-cut creates a high quality regrind with a very low percentage of fines in the output material.
- Lumps and purgings
- Film waste
- Bumpers, door liners and fuel tanks
- E-waste
- Bottle and bread crates
GSH 800 and GSH 1100 – large granulators for high outputs
The wide range of rotors and hopper styles allow the GSH granulators to be tailored to almost every application in the plastic recycling field, mainly with high throughput requirements. The GSH 800 series can be used to grind large thick walled parts down to a granule in one step, or be used as a second step granulator after a ZXS shredder to reach very high throughput rates
- Large volume parts such as bins and barrels
- Rubber
- Reinforced plastics
- Pipes
GSP series – granulator for pipes and profiles
The Pipe and Profile Granulators of the GSP series are available in rotor widths of up to 1400mm and diameters ranging from 560 to 700 mm. The completely welded heavy steel cutting chamber is angled and fitted with an extended hopper to allow easy feeding of parts. The standard V-cut creates a high quality regrind with a very low percentage of fines in the output material. Other standard features include a hydraulically opened hopper as well as outboard bearings reducing the risk of contamination.
- Knives are adjusted outside of the machine
- Specially developed deflector wedge
- Wide choice of rotors
- Well thought out housing design
- Strong Welded Steel construction
- Oversized outboard bearings
