Welcome to Virtus Equipment Direct
Replacement granulator screen for GSC 500/1400 new style compact soundproofed granulators (manufactured after 2012) from ZERMA America and Virtus Equipment C 50-140. 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. The screen hole size directly controls the maximum output particle dimension. Material circulates in the cutting chamber until it passes through the screen perforations. Select your required hole size from the dropdown menu to match your downstream process requirements.
The GSC 500/1400 New Style Granulator Screen is a precision replacement screen for GSC 500/1400 compact soundproofed granulators manufactured after 2012 by ZERMA America and Virtus Equipment. 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 compatibility.
The GSC 500/1400 / C 50-140 is the widest machine in the GSC 500 / C 50 compact soundproofed granulator series, featuring a 500 mm diameter rotor at 1400 mm cutting width within a complete sound dampening enclosure. The completely welded cutting chamber uses V-cut rotor technology for dependable operation and universal application use. Despite its soundproofed housing, the machine provides easy and quick access to the cutting chamber for knife changes, screen changes, and maintenance. This wide-format configuration is used as a central granulator for processing medium-sized hollow thin-walled products, runners, and sprues at higher throughput.
Regular screen inspection and timely replacement are essential for maintaining consistent output quality and protecting the cutting chamber. Worn or enlarged holes allow oversized particles to pass and reduce regrind quality. Cracked or deformed screens should be replaced immediately to prevent damage to the rotor and cutting chamber components.

Available Hole Sizes: 6mm | 8mm | 10mm | 12mm
Rotor Diameter: 500 mm
Rotor Width: 1400 mm
Applications: Medium-sized hollow thin-walled parts, runners, sprues, production scrap, central granulation at higher throughput
Important Note: Confirm machine build date before ordering — pre-2007 and 2007–2011 machines require a different screen version. Contact us if unsure.
New Style Rod-Reinforced Construction: Updated design for GSC 500/1400 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: Available in 6mm, 8mm, 10mm, and 12mm configurations; select from the dropdown menu to ensure you receive the correct screen for your application.
Wide Cutting Chamber Coverage: Designed for the 1400 mm cutting width of the GSC 500/1400 / C 50-140, providing full-width screen coverage for consistent particle size control across the entire cutting chamber.
Precision Manufacture: Screen holes are punched or drilled to exact dimensional tolerances for consistent, repeatable output particle sizing across the full screen surface.
Build Date Compatibility: This new style screen is compatible with GSC 500/1400 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.
Applications: Central granulation of medium-sized hollow thin-walled plastic parts, runners, sprues, and production scrap at higher throughput than narrower GSC 500 / C 50 configurations.
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 500/1400 New Style Compact Soundproofed Granulator (ZERMA America) and C 50-140 New Style Compact Soundproofed Granulator (Virtus Equipment) — manufactured after 2012
