With a WEIMA WL 4 single-shaft shredder, a sophisticated screw system and a wood chips heating system, the German carpenter Bernd Kreutner in Bahlingen uses the own waste wood sustainably to heat the shop buildings. Everything from a single source: tailor-made system, comprising shredder, and conveyor technology Owner Bernd Kreutner: ”In the past, we used to burn some of the accumulating wood in the stove of the central heating system and dispose of some of it. In doing so, the large area taken up by the wood residues was particularly troublesome. But the cost of disposal wasn’t without its problems, either.” In order to finally find a remedy and to be able to recycle the wood residues in a cost-efficient and sustainable way, Bernd Kreutner decided to buy a shredder. Since 2020, a WEIMA WL 4 single-shaft shredder has been installed in the large hall of the carpentry company – with a view of the neighboring vineyards. WL 4 – proven chipper for wood scrap The WL 4from WEIMA is a proven shredder for processing all types of wood waste. With a rotor diameter of 260 mm and a working width of 600 mm, neither roof battens nor sections or pallets with nails are a challenge.

WKS 1400 / 1800 / 2200 What event could provide a more suitable framework for a product presentation than the leading trade show in the plastics industry in Dusseldorf? The size reduction specialist from Ilsfeld (Germany) will present its all-new WKS single-shaft shredder series with 1400, 1800, and 2200 mm working width. Because they were specially designed for plastic applications, the new machines aim for shredding voluminous objects, tear-resistant fibers and film. Visitors will be able to take a closer look at the WKS 1800, which will be on display at the WEIMA booth. There are plenty of companies out there building shredders. However, finding the right balance between high throughput and comfortable maintenance is what makes the real difference in designing a size reduction machine. One of the most obvious new features is the newly designed material feeding system. Instead of a horizontal ram, the new WKS series has a so-called “swing-ram,” which is guided on rolls. This is what

WEIMA unveils its completely revised single-shaft shredder for waste shredding Nowadays, intelligent and energy-saving disposal technologies have become more popular than ever. The reason: the future lies in waste. WEIMA already provides tomorrow’s solutions today. The completely revised WEIMA PowerLine and FineCut series are not only significantly more robust and easier to operate, they also provide active support during the process. This benefits everyone being involved. What are the technical innovations? Material supply has changed significantly. A new swing ram technology being installed in the cutting chamber is applied here that operates significantly faster and needs less power. In this process, the swing ram is guided on rolls. It can also be equipped with an extended ram plate for materials with a low bulk density. There are additional benefits in terms of maintenance. Thanks to its optimized design, the swing ram can be moved out of the machine frame towards the top. As a result, accessing the system becomes considerably easier. The
