» General information
The Zerma ZS single shaft shredders have been developed as extremely rugged machines suitable for heavy duty applications.
They can be used to grind various materials such as lumps, large holow parts, film, fiber and paper down to a particle size of about 25mm.
The ZS series of single shaft shredders comes with numerous features, innovcative controls and different choices of rotors specifically designed for various material types.All shredders operate at low speeds, thus generating operating at lower noise levels.A newly developed and patented ram feeder is only one of the unique features of the Zerma shredder product line.
» Application Examples
The single shaft shredders of the ZS series shredders can be used for a wide variety of applications.
Deppending on throughput and material the machines can be tailored to your exact needs.
Many different materials can be ground in the ZS machines, in order to be used for recycling.
e.g. Electronic waste, PET bottles, Paper and cardboard, etc.
Let us consult you how to grind your specific material !

Innovative ram design
The ZSS series shredders benefit from sturdy ram construction, incorporating heavy duty guide bearings and universal couplings for reliable operation.
Ram plate
All ZS machines feature a serrated ram plate as standard to allow processing of large awkward pieces such as large purgings, blocks qand pallets.
Heavy duty bearings
The haevy duty outboard bearings mounted on the ZS shredders minimize the risk of contamination and make a rotor change easier.
Bulk feed hopper
The feed hoppers of the ZS machines can be tailored to suit various applications.
However the standard hopper is of a suitable design to allow bulk feeding via tipping skip as well as manual feeding of large bulky parts.
Bulk feeding the hopper will customize production as the feeding ram will always have material to push towards the rotor.The fully automatic controls of the machine prevent overfeeding.
Rotors
The ZS shredders can be equipped with different rotor designs.
The flexibility of design facilitates processing of various types of materials.Furthermore the rotors can be modified to auit special applications.
Knife cutters
The rotors in the ZS shredders are equipped with square cutter blocks, these cutters make light work of the heaviest pieces.
Importantly the design allows efficient cutting of material, rather than hammering, reducing heat build up and degradation of material.
The cutter blocks can be turned four times, once an edge has worn off.
» Rotor options
The ZS series single shaft shredders can be equipped with different rotor designs, we will help you find the right rotor for your application.
Advantages of the ZS series rotors:
- specialized hardened alloys for demanding applications available
- knife height can be adjusted to fine tune the machine to the material
- bolt-in kn ife holders make maintenance work easier and faster
A Rotor
The ZS A-rotor is very well suited for light materials, such as cardboard, paper, wood as well as food.
The rotor features a jagged rotor design with knife holders welded into place for a very aggressive behaviour.
B-rotor
The ZS B-rotor has been specifically developed to have a real cut, opposed to traditional ripping rotors as well as minimizing the risk of winding. These properties make it the perfect choice for film and fiber applications.
The rotor has a staggered design, the knifes are bolted into rotor segments.The design of the rotor makes it less prone to distortion.
E-rotor
The ZS E-rotor is the most versatile rotor available for the ZS machines, it can be used for almost any application, from hollow parts to large purgings.
The removable knife holders nad knifes make it easy to maintain and service.
» Accessories and Peripherals
For specialized applications Zerma single shaft shredders can be modified in many ways, from special hopper designs to complex system setups.
We can cater to your needs and possibilities.
Only rarely is a shredder used as a stand-alone machine, thus Zerma offers the whole spectrum of peripheral equopment needed.
We can supply all needed accessories, such as belt-conveyors, metal detectors, etc.
