ZTS/ZTTS Heavy Duty Shredders (rotor750mm/knives60x60mm)

General description

The ZTS and ZTTS single shaft shredders are specially designed for the processing of complete or pre shred tyres. Both machines machines feature a 750 mm diameter rotor with width options 1500 mm to 3000 mm with oversized outboard bearings and twin gear drives. The tangential infeed ensures optimal feeding of the input materials while eliminating the need for a hydraulic feeding system. All tyre shredders are equipped with a complete wear package including rotor hardfacing plus special knives and wear plates made from highly wear resistant steel. The ZTS and ZTTS ranges differ in the number of stator knives and the screen sizes used. The modular design makes it easy to integrate either machine into existing installations.

Application

The ZTS with its single row of stator knives is used to pre-shred complete car tyres or large pieces of pre-reduced truck tyres down to a size of approx. 150 mm. The twin rows of stator knives and screen in the ZTTS enable it to process the tyre shreds down to any required size > 20 mm The unique machine design combined with the variable cutting gap create an optimal separation of rubber and steel fractions when the machine is used with 20 mm screen. Therefore steel can be removed easily in the following process with magnetic separation equipment. The machines are also used in the processing of RDF and other alternative fuel applications.
