Industrial Shredders, Briquette & Drainage Presses from WEIMA

Shredding is only half the story. For many applications, combining shredding with briquetting can make the entire recycling process more efficient. After the material is shredded, it is compressed into dense briquettes, making it easier to handle, store, transport, and prepare for further recycling. In this video, the process is carried out with a WEIMA WLK 1500 shredder and a WEIMA TH 1200 briquetting press. Together, they illustrate how the individual processing steps can be combined into one continuous solution to go from bulky foam waste to compact briquettes. {hashtag|#|WEIMA} {hashtag|#|Shredding} {hashtag|#|Briquetting} {hashtag|#|Recycling}

Why compress metal waste into briquettes just to shred it again? ♻️ At first glance, it seems counterintuitive. But in many recycling processes, briquetting and shredding serve two very different purposes. Briquetting helps reduce storage and transportation costs, but briquettes can contain different grades of material or even mixed metal fractions. By shredding them again, recyclers can separate, sort, and refine the material stream more effectively, ultimately improving the quality and value of the recovered metals. 📈 {hashtag|#|WEIMA} {hashtag|#|shredding} {hashtag|#|recycling}

Two days, one goal: sharing knowledge and strengthening expertise. 🔧 Over the past two days, we had the pleasure of hosting a technical training session together with our valued dealer partners @[Schachermayer GmbH](urn:li:organization:3589398), @[FN - Friedrich Niemann GmbH & Co. KG](urn:li:organization:72405088) and Rieth Maschinenvertrieb. The training focused on deepening technical knowledge, exchanging practical experiences, and discussing the latest developments in our solutions. These sessions are a great opportunity to ensure that our partners are equipped with the expertise needed to provide the best possible support to customers. A big thank you to all participants for the great collaboration throughout the training. 🤝🚀 {hashtag|#|TechnicalTraining} {hashtag|#|Partnership} {hashtag|#|KnowledgeSharing}

Good partnerships are built through regular exchange. 🤝 Last week, we had the pleasure of welcoming our partner @[HÄGGLUNDS](urn:li:organization:301757) to our facility. As our partner for hydraulic drive solutions, Hägglunds is an important part of delivering reliable and efficient solutions to our customers. The visit provided a great opportunity to discuss current projects, share insights and strengthen our collaboration for the future. 💪 Thank you to the Hägglunds team for the enjoyable visit. Together, we keep moving things forward. 🚀 {hashtag|#|WEIMA} {hashtag|#|Hägglunds} {hashtag|#|partnership}

Some things get better with age. Others become great throwback material. 👀 We recently stumbled across a photo from one of our very first trade shows and of course, we had to share it. A lot has changed since then, but that's what makes these old photos so interesting. They capture a moment in time when we were trying new things and shaping the identity of our machines. 😁 Now it's your turn: What does this design remind you of? 🏁 {hashtag|#|WEIMA} {hashtag|#|recycling} {hashtag|#|ThrowbackThursday}

Bronze deserves more than third place. 🥉 Metal chips are a natural by-product of machining processes. Especially with valuable materials like bronze, recovering and recycling these chips is essential. The WEIMA TH 700 M briquetting press compresses loose bronze chips into compact, high-density briquettes, making handling, storage, and transportation more efficient. At the same time, valuable cutting fluids can be recovered and returned to the process, while the densified material achieves a higher recycling value. ♻️ {hashtag|#|WEIMA} {hashtag|#|recycling} {hashtag|#|briquetting} {hashtag|#|metal}

What if your shredder could tell the difference between a real threat and a tough challenge? That’s exactly what WEIMA’s Smart Foreign Object Detection is designed to do. The system detects foreign objects and contaminants within milliseconds, helping protect the shredder from costly damage and minimizing unplanned downtime before it occurs. 🛠️ But smart detection is only part of the story. Instead of stopping the machine whenever resistance increases, the system can distinguish actual contaminants from demanding yet processable materials. This prevents unnecessary interruptions and keeps material flowing through the process. The result: greater equipment protection, higher uptime, and a more efficient shredding operation. ✅ {hashtag|#|WEIMA} {hashtag|#|Shredding} {hashtag|#|Recycling} {hashtag|#|ProcessOptimization} {hashtag|#|IndustrialAutomation}

Recycling is hard work but ... the right technology makes it easier. ♻️ At REMONDIS in Röstånga, Sweden, a WEIMA PowerLine 2500 single-shaft shredder processes different types of HDPE pipes efficiently and reliably, turning bulky waste into valuable recyclable material. The PowerLine series delivers robust shredding solutions for demanding recycling applications: powerful, durable, and designed for continuous operation in real-world conditions. 💪 {hashtag|#|WEIMA} {hashtag|#|shredding} {hashtag|#|recycling}

It starts with that rich, unmistakable smell of freshly roasted coffee. ☕ During the roasting process, a consistent by-product is generated: coffee bean husks. These lightweight residues accumulate in significant volumes and are often classified as waste. With WEIMA briquetting press, these roasting by-products are transformed into compact, high-quality briquettes. 💪 Less volume, easier handling, reduced costs and a smarter, more sustainable way to deal with production residues. {hashtag|#|Recycling} {hashtag|#|Sustainability} {hashtag|#|Briquetting} {hashtag|#|WEIMA}

Four shredders. One streamlined process. ♻️ @[Aufderhaar Kunststof Recycling B.V](urn:li:organization:82735164) shows how modern plastic recycling works when process and technology truly align. With an upgraded production line powered by four WEIMA shredders, post-consumer waste and PP flowerpots are turned into a clean, consistent regranulate. ✅ See it in action.👇 {hashtag|#|WEIMA} {hashtag|#|shredding} {hashtag|#|recycling}
