ZCS 1000 Shredder/granulator combination

Description

Hopper: The machine is fitted with a large filling hopper and can be loaded manually, by conveyor belt or fork lift. The funnel can be adapted to suit individual requirements.

Hydraulic ram: The hydraulically operated pusher feeds the material to be shredded automatically into the rotor’s cutting chamber by load-related controls. The hydraulic system is equipped with high-pressure valves and volumetric flow controls, which can be both set per the demands of the input materials.

Rotor (Shredder): The ‘E’ style rotor made has a diameter of 400 mm and operates at a speed of 104 rpm. The 4-way rotating knives are mounted in special bolt in knife holders.

Rotor (Granulator): The granulator is equipped with a 5-knife rotor, this allows for an efficient processing of the pre-shredded material. The design of the rotor allows for ample airflow to avoid overheating of the material.

Rotor bearings: The extremely robust pedestal bearing housings are mounted outside the machine and separate from the cutting chamber to prevent dust and dirt penetrating the oversized bearings. This ensures a long life and minimum maintenance.

Screen: The screen mounted beneath the rotor determines the size of the output material. The screen is also easily accessible by a separate flap and can be changed easily.

Drive: Both machines are individually driven allowing for better control of the complete process. The shredder is driven via a gearbox located on the shaft end on one side of the rotor. The granulator is driven by a separate belt drive. To increase the efficiency of the system a ZERMA SmartDrive system can be used which constantly monitors the load of the system and adjust the current accordingly to reduce electricity consumption.

Material discharge: The material can be discharged with a standard blower system form the bin mounted underneath the granulator.

Electrical controls: The wholes system is controlled from a single control panel. Including sequence start and overload protection.
