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 shredded 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.

The wide range of rotors and hopper styles allow the GSH machines to be tailored to almost every application in the plastic recycling field.The GSH 350 and 500 granulators are mainly used as central granulators for in house recycling applications to process thick walled parts in one step or as a second step granulator after a shredder to reach higher throughput rates. When used to grind light materials, such as bottles the throughput can be greatly increased with the addition of a ZERMA force feeding device. For abrasive, contaminated or highly filled materials the machine can be equipped with special wear protectors.

The GSE series of machines are designed as economical granulators for use in in house recycling. The cutting geometry of the GSE 300 series makes it ideal for the grinding of small thin walled hollow parts. The complete GSE granulator line achieves a high quality regrind independent of the material type or form such as injection moulded parts,blow moulded parts, profiles, sheets, film, etc.

The cutting geometry of the GSC series allows even voluminous materials to be ground. The complete GSC series line achieves a high quality regrind independent of the material type or form such as injection moulded parts, blow moulded parts, profiles, sheets, film, etc. The 700 series GSC machines are mainly used as central granualtors for processing of large injected or blow moulded products as well as film. The integrated sound proofing makes it possible to easily place the machine in existing operations. With different rotor designs and a wide variety of options the machines can be tailored for many different applications.

The GSE series of machines are designed as economical granulators for use in medium volume in-house recycling applications. The cutting geometry of the GSE 500 series allows even bigger hollow parts to be ground. The whole GSE granulator line achieves a high quality regrind independent of the material type or form such as injection moulded parts,blow moulded parts, profiles, sheets, film, etc.

The GSL slow speed granulators of the 180 series are mainly used in injection and blow molding processes as beside the press machines to grind runners and sprues. The resulting granules are then immediately reintroduced into the production process. 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.

The GSL slow speed granulators of the 300 series are mainly used in injection and blow molding processes as beside the press machines to grind runners and sprues. They can also be used as low noise central granulators for small throughput requirements. The stronger design of the 300 series GSLs allow them to be used for stronger and thicker materials while offering the same advantages regarding low noise and dust as the smaller GSL machines.
