Name
ZERMA Granulator
Model
GSE 500 - Economical
Classification
Shredding/Flaking/Grinding
Operations
Description or Purpose
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.
Operating Principles
• Knives are adjusted outside of the machine
• Mobile Compact design
• Different rotor types available
• Easy accessibility
• Aggressive tangential infeed
Additional Information
For the GSE 500 series different rotor designs are available in widths ranging from 500 mm to 1400 mm with a diameter of 500 mm. The completely welded cutting chamber in conjunction with the “V” type rotor design ensures dependability in operation and universal application use. The housing design offers easy and quick access to the cutting chamber during rotor and stator knife changes, servicing or screen changes.

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.
