Affordable plastics lump and purge shredders for plastic purgings and cutoffs.
Virtus Equipment's L 30 series is a single-shaft plastics lump and purge shredder with a tangential infeed eliminates the need for a hydraulic feeding system. Its compact and maneuverable design and ‘plug and play’ controls give this shredder total flexibility and ease of use. Like the G, V, and X series shredders, the L 30 is driven by an oversized gearmotor and equipped with outboard bearings. It has a 310 mm diameter flat E-type rotor using the proven Virtus Equipment knife holder and knife design in 600 mm or 850 mm widths. The user-friendly design allows for simple and efficient cleaning and maintenance. The L 30 lump shredders’ low rotor speed of 60 rpm and compact design makes it possible to shred lumps at a relatively low noise level. The shredder can be manually or conveyor fed with material discharge by conveyor or into a dropbox.
The L 30 plastic lump and purge shredders are designed for in-house recycling of small lumps and purges from injection and blow molding processes. The typical input materials are small and medium-sized cakes such as head waste. The plastic material can be shredded to reduce its volume or processed further by a granulator and immediately reintroduced into the production process. The shredder also can destroy sensitive products or recycle small batches of low-volume products to avoid contamination of the main product line.

A Lump and Purge Shredder is designed to break down large, dense plastic purges, lumps, and head waste generated during injection and blow molding. Virtus Equipment’s L-Series Shredders efficiently reduce the size of these tough materials, making them easier to handle, recycle, or reintroduce into production.
The L 30 features a tangential infeed that eliminates the need for hydraulic feeding, along with a compact, maneuverable design and plug-and-play controls. Its oversized gearmotor, low-speed rotor (60 rpm), and outboard bearings ensure quiet, reliable, and maintenance-friendly operation.
Virtus Equipment’s Lump and Purge Shredders are ideal for small to medium-sized plastic lumps, purges, head waste, and molding residues from injection and blow molding processes. These materials can then be processed further by a granulator or reintroduced into the manufacturing cycle.
