These robust rotors can process a variety of input materials while resisting foreign objects that are often found in waste streams. Shredding is the first step in using waste materials as an alternative fuel source or as feedstock in advanced recycling processes. With expertise in system design and 40+ years of experience, WEIMA empowers businesses to achieve their recycling goals effectively and efficiently with customized solutions in mind. Destroy Responsibly™ with WEIMA! | HOW DO YOU DESTROY? For 40 years, WEIMA has been successfully established as a supplier of reliable shredding, grinding and briquetting technology to the wood industry. Our shredders can process all kinds of wood waste, including hard-wood, softwood, particleboard, plywood and MDF scrap as well as bulky pieces of furniture, window profiles, doors and stairs. Once shredded, waste can be transported off-site or briquetted using a WEIMA briquette press. Our flexible manufacturing methods mean we are able to provide turnkey solutions for many different applications. The quality of the materials and the careful method of processing ensures an exceptionally durable machine when put into operation. We define the standards for size reduction within the wood industry, and we want to help you turn your wood waste into profit. | Destroy Responsibly! (TM) — As an Official Recycler of NPE2024, WEIMA wants to empower companies to consider in-plant size reduction and recycling. The Recycling Zone behind West Hall will feature a WEIMA shredder and two granulators in operation. Attendees are invited to view the machinery inaction. WEIMA’s goal (in conjunction with Commercial Plastics Recycling, Inc., Conair, PLASTICS, and Freeman Co.) is to recycle 100% of the plastic scrap that is generated on the show floor at NPE2024. WEIMA’s robust line of shredders can handle plastic materials including pipe, purge, sprues/runners, film, fibers, bottles, crates/bins, nonwovens and more. Our single-shaft shredders are ideal for shredding scrap prior to a granulator or repelletizing line. Large hoppers allow for bulk feeding without the need to pre-cut materials. When consistent piece sizes are fed into a granulator, it regulates material flow while eliminating spikes in power. This helps to lower energy costs. WEIMA shredders can be customized to meet the demands of specific applications. With the range of equipment and a variety of rotor types, rotor geometries and cutting tools, we can handle such plastics as PE, PP, PVC, PS, PU and PET among others. The V-Rotor is designed for the shredding of hard plastics, while the F-Rotor is for woven and non-woven film and fiber materials. Other optional features include a lift-up door for easy maintenance, multiple knife configurations, custom hoppers, a variety of rotor widths, and more. When it comes to industrial plastic shredders, one size does not fit all.
