Virtus Equipment's video: Virtus Equipment L 30 and A 30 Hard Lump Test

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. Lump and Purge Shredder Plastics Applications 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.
