Make, Model & Classification
| Name | ZERMA Shredder |
| Model | ZBS - In House |
| Classification | Shredding/Flaking/Grinding |
Operations
| Description or Purpose | 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. |
| Operating Principles | Affordable shredder for lumps and purging - Simple upgrade for existing granulation system - Easy to move and place - Lumps/Purgings - Tangential infeed avoids the need for a hydraulic pusher - Small footprint - Low energy |
| Additional Information | The ZBS series shredders are single shaft shredders with tangential infeed thus eliminating the need for a hydraulic feeding system. The compact and manoeuvrable design combined with the ‘plug and play’ controls give this machine total flexibility and ease of use. Like the bigger brothers in the ZS series, the ZBS are equipped with outboard bearings, 310 mm diameter flat E rotors with 600 mm or 850 mm width, are driven by an oversized geared motor, and incorporate the proven ZERMA knife holder and knife design. The user friendly design allows for simple and efficient cleaning and maintenance. |

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
