Replacement granulator screen for GSC 500/500 new style granulators (manufactured after 2012) from Virtus Equipment and ZERMA America. Features the updated rod-reinforced construction of the new style design for improved structural integrity and extended service life compared to the earlier screen generation. Select your required hole size from the dropdown menu — the screen hole size directly controls output particle dimension and must be matched to your downstream process requirements. Direct OEM replacement for reliable, consistent granulation performance.
The GSC 500/500 New Style Granulator Screen is a precision replacement screen for GSC 500/500 compact soundproofed granulators manufactured after 2012 by Virtus Equipment and ZERMA America. This new style screen features rod-reinforced construction, distinguishing it from the earlier pre-2007 and 2007–2011 screen generations — it is important to confirm your machine’s build date before ordering to ensure correct screen fitment and compatibility.

Machine Model: GSC 500/500
Screen Style: New Style (Rod-Reinforced) — machines manufactured after 2012
Hole Size: See dropdown menu
Important Note: Confirm machine build date before ordering — pre-2007 and 2007–2011 machines require a different screen version. Contact us if unsure.
Applications: Plastics granulation, production scrap recycling, and inline and central granulation
New Style Rod-Reinforced Construction: Updated design for GSC 500/500 machines manufactured after 2012 — provides improved structural integrity and service life compared to earlier screen generations.
Particle Size Control: Screen hole size directly determines maximum output particle dimension — select the appropriate size for your specific downstream process requirements.
Multiple Hole Sizes Available: Select your required hole size from the dropdown menu to ensure you receive the correct screen for your application.
Precision Manufacture: Screen holes are punched or drilled to exact dimensional tolerances for consistent, repeatable output particle sizing across the full screen surface.
OEM-Specification Fitment: Engineered to the exact dimensions of the GSC 500/500 new style cutting chamber for secure, vibration-free screen seating during operation.
Build Date Compatibility: This new style screen is compatible with GSC 500/500 machines manufactured after 2012. For machines manufactured before 2007 or between 2007–2011, please contact us to confirm the correct screen version for your machine.
The screen is one of the most important performance-determining components in any granulator. The hole size you select directly controls the maximum output particle dimension — material cannot pass through the screen until it has been reduced below the hole diameter, making screen selection the primary method of controlling regrind particle size for downstream processing or direct material reintroduction. Selecting too large a hole size produces oversized regrind unsuitable for your process; too small a hole size reduces throughput and increases fines generation and energy consumption.
Regular screen inspection is essential for maintaining consistent output quality. Worn or enlarged screen holes allow oversized particles to pass, reducing regrind quality and wasting energy. Cracked or warped screens should be replaced immediately to prevent damage to the cutting chamber and rotor assembly.
Compatibility: GSC 500/500 New Style Granulator for ZERMA America and C 50 Series for Virtus Equipment (manufactured after 2012)
