Make, Model & Classification
Name | ZERMA Granulator |
Model | GSC 700 - Sound Insulated |
Classification | Shredding/Flaking/Grinding |
Operations
Description or Purpose | 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. |
Operating Principles | Compact Soundproofed Granulator. • Knives are adjusted outside of the machine • Compact design • Different rotor types available • Soundproofed housing • Aggressive tangential infeed |
Additional Information | 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 700 mm to 1400 mm with a diameter of 700 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 is based on latest tech research. |

Approvals Related to Use of Output
Important Note on Composting in NSW
In NSW, applying waste to land – including a processed waste such as compost - or using it as a fuel may trigger various regulatory requirements. Depending on the proposed use you may be required to comply with a Resource Recovery Exemption or need to hold an environment protection licence, and pay the waste levy.
While there is a Compost Exemption (2014) it is important to note that drying or dehydrating food waste, or any other compostable waste, is specifically excluded from consideration under this exemption. Drying or dehydrating equipment uses externally supplied energy to heat and ventilate food waste or any other compostable waste in order to rapidly dry the waste material over a short time period (typically 24 to 48 hours), either with or without the addition of an inoculum. If you are interested in this type of equipment you should refer to the resource recovery exemptions for information on lawful use of outputs.
If it is intended to use the material as a fuel, it must comply with the NSW Energy from Waste Policy Statement. http://www.epa.nsw.gov.au/waste/140056enfromwasteps.htm
