More power for your processes: WEIMA drive types in focus

Whether electromechanical, hydraulic or high-torque – WEIMA offers drives that deliver maximum efficiency and flexibility for every application. The electromechanical drive with WAP gearbox and belt drive ensures reliable power transmission. The high-torque drive masters even challenging materials with high torque, while the hydraulic drive impresses with its adaptability and robustness. All drives are designed to make efficient and versatile use of your shredding system, perfectly matched to your specific requirements.

Sharp cuts, maximum efficiency: WEIMA knife technology

The rotor is the heart of every WEIMA shredding machine, perfectly matched to the cutting blades and the counter blade. With a speed of 30 to 400 revolutions per minute and durable blades, this technology ensures precise cuts, maximum efficiency and minimum downtime. Thanks to precise cutting gap adjustment, the material is optimally shredded, just like a perfectly working shear, which increases overall performance and reduces maintenance.

Precise shredding: WEIMA sieves for perfect grain sizes

WEIMA offers round-hole, honeycomb and zig-zag screens that ensure exact particle sizes for every application. Round-hole screens can be used universally, while honeycomb screens offer a higher throughput due to their larger hole surface. Kidney-shaped screens prevent blockages with flat materials, and zig-zag screens are perfect for tear-resistant plastics. Each screen design guarantees consistent results. In addition, WEIMA offers bolted and swivel screen designs that allow for easy maintenance and cleaning to keep your machine efficient and to flexibly adjust shredding.

Heavy Duty - Strong enough for the toughest tasks

WEIMA heavy-duty shredders are designed for abrasive materials such as glass and metal. Reinforced machine frames and special wear protection with Vautid and Creusabro increase the durability and reliability of the machines, even under extreme conditions. Cutting blades with an edge length of up to 130 mm can be selected to better withstand foreign bodies. Rotors and cutting chambers can also be equipped with replaceable wear plates, which minimizes downtimes and reduces maintenance costs. This keeps performance consistently high, even in the most demanding applications.
