Product Description

The ZERMA GSH 500/1000 is a heavy-duty granulator designed for high-output plastic shredding and recycling applications. Featuring a 19.5" (500 mm) diameter by 39" (1000 mm) straight side open rotor, this machine offers superior performance for processing plastic scrap, lumps, and purgings.

The rotor is belt-driven by a 75 kW (112.5 HP) motor, providing a reliable cutting force to handle thick-walled plastics and heavy materials. It achieves an approximate throughput of 400–600 kg/hr (880–1320 lbs/hr) and includes a control panel for operational management.

This unit was manufactured in 2012 and was previously used in a plastic recycling operation, making it ideal for granulating pre- and post-consumer materials.
