Description

The M16 Cover Disc is a protective cover used on Virtus Equipment and ZERMA America granulators and shredders to cap M16 bolt head recesses, mounting holes, and fastener positions on machine guards, panels, hoppers, and structural components. In granulator and shredder environments, open fastener recesses and bolt holes quickly accumulate regrind dust, plastic fines, and debris — material that packs tightly into counterbores and can make routine bolt removal extremely difficult during maintenance. Cover discs prevent this contamination, keeping fastener positions clean and accessible and maintaining the machine’s professional appearance over its service life.

Key Features

  • Fastener Recess Protection: Caps M16 bolt head counterbores and mounting holes to prevent regrind dust, plastic fines, and debris from packing into fastener recesses and complicating future maintenance access.
  • Contamination Prevention: Keeps bolt heads clean and free from material buildup in granulator and shredder production environments where airborne plastic fines are present.
  • Precision-Stamped Profile: Engineered to the exact diameter and depth of M16 fastener recess positions on Virtus Equipment and ZERMA America machines for secure, flush fitment.
  • Machine Appearance: Maintains a clean, professional machine appearance by covering exposed fastener positions on guards, panels, and hoppers.
  • OEM-Specification: Matches original Virtus Equipment and ZERMA America cover disc specifications for direct replacement without modification.
  • Bulk Availability: Available individually or in bulk quantities — recommended for maintenance stocking programs given high replacement frequency in active production environments.

Cover discs are a low-cost, high-value maintenance component. Replacing missing or damaged cover discs promptly protects fastener recesses from contamination and makes future maintenance faster and easier. Always ensure cover discs are fully seated and secure after any maintenance procedure that requires fastener access.
