Universal shredders for demanding applications.

The Zeno ZTLL series represents one of the most versatile and durable single-shaft shredders on the market. Engineered in Germany, these machines are built for high performance, reliability, and long service life.

Its robust designwith a reinforced screen, solid rotor, and hydraulic feeding systemensures reliability even under harsh conditions.

Each Zeno machine is custom-built to match the customer’s specific requirements and production setup. The ZTLL series is available in a wide range of sizes and capacities, making it suitable for everything from smaller recycling lines to large-scale industrial installations.

Material Applications

ZTLL shredders are designed for processing a wide variety of materials across recycling and production industries, including:

Plastics: hard and soft plastics, production scrap, packaging materials, containers, and films.

Wood waste: pallets, boards, furniture offcuts, and joinery residues.

Composite materials and mixed fractions: ideal for pre-shredding before separation and further processing.

Paper, cardboard, and data media: optional configurations meet DIN 66399-2 standards for secure material destruction.

Biomass and light metals: suitable for energy recovery or material recycling lines.

Technical Advantages

Every ZTLL shredder combines robust mechanical design with precise engineering.

Solid steel rotor: machined from a single block for maximum strength and stability.

High-torque, low-speed operation: ensures low noise, reduced dust, and minimal wear on cutting components.

Externally adjustable stator knife: allows exact gap adjustment for consistent particle size and reduced downtime.

Hydraulic pusher system: continuously monitors and adjusts material feed, ensuring stable performance and preventing blockages or overloads.

Reinforced screen and quick-change access: enable fast maintenance and easy adaptation to various material requirements.

Heavy-duty machine frame: minimizes vibration and provides long-term operational stability.

Distinctive Features of the ZTLL Series

What sets the ZTLL apart is Zeno’s decades of experience and commitment to modular, customer-specific engineering.

Available in a wide range of sizes from compact 420 × 750 mm units to large industrial models up to 2,500 × 3,500 mm.

Custom configurations allow integration into complete recycling systems or standalone use.

Designed for continuous operation, offering high throughput with low energy consumption.

Proven across multiple industries plastics, wood, biomass, RDF, and waste treatment sectors.

The Zeno ZTLL series is the benchmark for efficient, low-maintenance shredding technology, combining German precision with practical performance. Whether used as a primary or secondary shredder, it delivers exceptional results and long-lasting value in every application.

Efficient recycling starts with precise shredding

Here, electronic cables are shredded into clean, uniform fractions ready for separation and recovery of valuable metals and plastics.

Shredder ZTLL 600×1000

The Zeno ZTLL 600 × 1000 is an example of a perfectly suited for medium-scale processing of plastics, composite materials, wood offcuts, and packaging waste.

With an infeed opening of 600 x 1000 mm and a rotor equipped with 18 cutting knives (rotor Ø ~300 mm), it is capable of handling tough materials while maintaining speed and capacity.
