Description
The ZCS Stator Knife — V-Cut Profile is a precision-ground stationary cutting component for Virtus Equipment and ZERMA America ZCS series shredders. The distinctive V-cut multi-peak zigzag cutting edge profile is engineered to work in close opposition with the ZCS rotor knives, creating the shearing and tearing action required for efficient size reduction of plastic material in ZCS shredder applications. The ZERMA logo is stamped on the knife face for easy identification and confirmation of correct OEM specification.
