Description
The ZXS 1500 Shredder Screen is an OEM-specification replacement screen for Virtus Equipment and ZERMA America ZXS 1500 shredders. The shredder screen controls the maximum output particle size — material continues to circulate through the cutting chamber until pieces are small enough to pass through the screen perforations, ensuring consistent, controlled output size for downstream processing or further size reduction.
Key Features:
Select Your Hole Size: Available in multiple hole size configurations — use the dropdown menu to select the correct opening size for your target output particle size and downstream processing requirements.
ZXS 1500 Specific Fitment: Manufactured to the exact dimensions required for the ZXS 1500 cutting chamber — guaranteed OEM-specification fitment.
Heavy-Duty ZXS Series Design: Engineered for the high cutting forces and demanding material loading of the ZXS 1500 — built to handle the larger rotor knife geometry and higher-torque operation of the ZXS series.
Output Size Control: Screen hole size determines maximum output particle size — critical for ensuring consistent feed quality for downstream granulators or processing equipment.
Direct OEM Replacement: Precision-manufactured to original equipment specifications for guaranteed fitment and consistent shredder output quality.
The ZXS 1500 is a heavy-duty, low-speed, high-torque shredder in the ZXS series, equipped with a large E-type rotor using 60 × 60 × 30 mm rotor knives — a significantly larger knife profile than the ZSS/ZIS/ZBS series — designed for the most demanding size reduction applications involving large, thick-walled, hard-to-feed plastic parts, bulky industrial waste, and challenging mixed recycling material. The larger rotor knife dimensions and higher-torque cutting geometry of the ZXS 1500 place greater mechanical demands on the screen, making correct screen specification and regular replacement especially important for maintaining consistent output and protecting the cutting chamber.
Screens are wear components that require regular inspection. A damaged or blinded screen reduces shredder throughput, increases energy consumption, and can cause output size inconsistency. Replace at the first signs of wear, cracking, or perforation damage to maintain consistent shredder performance.
Compatibility: ZXS 1500 Heavy Duty Shredder (ZERMA America) and X Series Heavy Duty Shredder (Virtus Equipment)
