Description
The Spring Pin is a slotted roll pin used in Virtus Equipment and ZERMA America granulators and shredders exclusively in combination with the M16 Cover Disc (SKU: 80052651). The spring pin is pressed into a cross-drilled hole through the cover disc installation location, locking the cover disc securely in the bolt head recess and preventing it from vibrating loose or dislodging during high-speed granulator or shredder operation. Without the spring pin, the cover disc cannot be properly secured and will not reliably protect the bolt head recess from debris and contamination ingress.

Key Features:
Always Paired with M16 Cover Disc (SKU: 80052651): The spring pin and cover disc are an inseparable installation pair — both components must be ordered and replaced together at every service interval.
Slotted Roll Pin Design: The slotted cylindrical profile compresses slightly during installation, creating a secure interference fit that resists vibration loosening during high-speed machine operation.
Debris and Contamination Protection: Locks the M16 Cover Disc in position over the bolt head recess, maintaining the protective barrier that prevents plastic granulate, dust, and debris from entering and packing around the bolt head.
Direct OEM Replacement: Machined to original equipment specifications for correct fitment in the cover disc installation location.
Applications:
Because the spring pin and M16 Cover Disc function as an inseparable installation pair, both components should always be replaced together at every service interval. Attempting to reuse a worn or deformed spring pin with a new cover disc, or vice versa, risks improper retention and potential cover disc loss during operation.
